Alberto Giacometti, one of the most important artists of the
twentieth century, was also one of the most enigmatic. In this
major new interpretation of Giacometti and his work, art historian
and psychoanalyst Laurie Wilson demonstrates how the artist's
secret beliefs and emotional scars are reflected in his evocative
sculpture, drawings, and paintings. Wilson's Giacometti was an
extremely imaginative child who entwined fantasy and real-life
experiences. As he matured, the artist combined fact and fancy into
evolving myths, part conscious and part unconscious. Drawing on
biographical data uncovered during a decade of research, Wilson
reconstructs traumatic events and issues in Giacometti's
life--including family births and deaths in early childhood, world
wars and their aftermath, and his intense and ambivalent
relationship with his parents--and examines their profound effects
on his artistic evolution. These startling new interpretations will
forever change the way we understand both the man and his work.
