 | | Alberto Giacometti was a sculptor and painter who lived from 1901 to 1966. | | | Alberto Giacometti is, both because of the nature of his work and because of his close friendship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, the artist most closely identified with the Existentialist movement. | | | Giacometti wrote as though he was in a Surrealist dream or hallucination when he described his sculptures. |

| | Alberto Giacometti (October 10, 1901 - January 11, 1966) was an important surrealist sculptor and painter. | | | Giacometti was one of only a handful of modern artists who have been equally as talented in all four mediums of sculpture, painting, drawing and printmaking. | | | However, he was more drawn to the Surrealist movement and after his brother Diego Giacometti joined him as his assistant, by 1927 Alberto had begun to display his first surrealist sculptures at the Salon des Tuileries. |

| | Alberto Giacometti: The Epitome of Modern Angst - The World and I Magazine |
| | During the 1950s Giacometti's art was often considered Existentialist, both because of the angst inherent in his works and as a result of two essays on his art published by Sartre in 1948 and 1954. | | | During Giacometti's lifetime his artworks were generally perceived as exemplars of a heroic dedication (he lived in a near-poverty in dingy quarters and often asserted that his art was doomed to failure), or as metaphors for a post-World War II society. | | | Through 1934 Giacometti created a number of remarkable sculptures that were unprecedented their compositions and content, works that in themselves would have guaranteed his place in art history. |

| | Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) was born at Stampa, Switzerland in the Bregaglia valley, son of the Swiss Impressionist painter, Giovannia Giacometti. | | | Most of Giacometti's lithographs are close to his paintings and drawings in theme and conception. | | | There is an underlying element of tragic humanism and the vacuousness of modern 20th century man in Giacometti's eviscerated images. |

| | Alberto Giacometti 2: The 1951 Masterpieces |
| | Giacometti had focused all his efforts on the severe stark architecture of his heart." In these works, Lust concludes, he gives us "the black ecstasy of an imagination that is its own prison" (75). | | | Entering Giacometti's studio [in the spring of 1951], which was filled with his finest sculptures, I found the artist peering at some sheets crammed with violent black slashes. | | | For Lust, the wonder of Giacometti's studio lithographs is that "never has a cycle of prints by a major artist been so austere and stark, so devoid of charm and seductions. |

| | Alberto Giacometti is the first retrospective devoted to the work of the internationally renowned sculptor, painter, and draftsman to be held in a New York museum in almost three decades. | | | Giacometti suddenly found himself the center of attention in avant-garde Paris - his work was lauded in contemporary publications and he was warmly welcomed by such influential figures as the opposing leaders of Surrealism, André Breton and Georges Bataille. | | | Giacometti first made a lasting impression on an American audience in 1948, with a retrospective exhibition of his work at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York that included his attenuated figures. |

| | Giacometti enrolled in art school in Geneva in 1920, then made his way to Paris in 1922, setting up a studio with Diego. | | | He came from a family of artists, for his father was a well-known Impressionist painter, and his brother Diego, a sculptor and furniture maker. | | | Back in his Parisian studio after the war, Giacometti began making the sculptures of slender proportions with highly agitated surfaces with which he is most closely identified. |

| | Acquavella: Alberto Giacometti |
| | Giacometti's symbolic enactment of the experiences of the tragic Theban king is certainly, to say the least, uncanny. | | | As we know, Alberto's father, Giovanni, was a painter of genuine talent, and the son grew up in an environment highly sympathetic to artistic endeavor. | | | The deaths of the Dutchman and of his father, the mutilation of the foot, the limp, the cane, the artistic confrontation with the sphinx, the marriage and the eventual denouement all correspond to the myth with such arresting similarity that one cannot accept them as coincidence. |

| | In-Depth |
| | Throughout his life, Alberto Giacometti (Swiss, born Borgonovo, 1901—1966) was devoted to portraying the human figure in various styles and media. | | | Giacometti’s postwar figure sculptures had skeletal bodies with gouged surfaces that surpassed the expressiveness of Rodin. | | | From the mid-1930s through World War II, the artist struggled to convey in sculpture his visual concept of a model in empty space at a far distance, a preoccupation that would develop into his mature style. |

| | Giacometti replied, "I don't; I don't know what a head is. What is a head?" After this, Giacometti broke with Surrealism to pursue his own impossible vision. | | | The second film on the DVD, "A Man Among Men: Alberto Giacometti," is even better than "What is a Head?" It consists of an interview with Giacometti as he walks through a massive retrospective of his work in Switzerland. | | | His rueful asides about how much he liked the work when he first saw it, but then was filled with second thoughts, are moving and profound. |
