Alberto Giacometti

Chronologically arranging quotations--from the artist and others--on the subject of Giacometti's life and art, Giacometti: A Biography In Pictures narrates an informal exploration of one of the twentieth century's greatest sculptors. The text is interspersed with wonderful snapshots of the artist at work in the studio (a Gitane invariably gripped in his plaster-stippled fingers), and with reproductions of individual works.
