Giacometti: Critical Essays brings together new studies by an
international team of scholars who together explore the whole span
of Alberto Giacometti's work and career from the 1920s to the
1960s. During this complex period in France's intellectual history,
Giacometti's work underwent a series of remarkable stylistic shifts
while he forged close affiliations with an equally remarkable set
of contemporary writers and thinkers. This book throws new light on
under-researched aspects of his output and approach, including his
relationship to his own studio, his work in the decorative arts,
his tomb sculptures and his use of the pedestal. It also focuses on
crucial ways his work was received and articulated by contemporary
and later writers, including Michel Leiris, Francis Ponge, Isaku
Yanaihara and Tahar Ben Jelloun. This book thus engages with
energising tensions and debates that informed Giacometti's work,
including his association with both surrealism and existentialism,
his production of both 'high' art and decorative objects, and his
concern with both formal issues, such as scale and material, and
with the expression of philosophical and poetic ideas. This
multifaceted collection of essays confirms Giacometti's status as
one of the most fascinating artists of the twentieth century.
