About this product
Product Information
When we look at a painting hanging on an art gallery wall, we see only what the artist has chosen to disclose--the finished work of art. What remains mysterious is the process of creation itself--the making of the work of art. Everyone who has looked at paintings has wondered about this, and numerous efforts have been made to discover and depict the creative method of important artists. A Giacometti Portrait is a picture of one of the century's greatest artists at work. James Lord sat for eighteen days while his friend Alberto Giamcometti did his portrait in oil. The artist painted, and the model recorded the sittings and took photographs of the work in its various stages. What emerged was an illumination of what it is to be an artist and what it was to be Giacometti--a portrait in prose of the man and his art. A work of great literary distinction, A Giacometti Portrait is, above all, a subtle and important evocation of a great artist.Product Identifiers

Great book, poor printing!A
An excellent book that I was looking forward to reading and wasn't disappointed. It's unfortunate, to say the least, that a book all about an artist, his model and a portrait should be let down by such poor quality printing, Throughout the book, the numerous reproductions of the portrait as it progressed are virtually indecipherable. I would happily have paid more for the quality that the book and portrait deserve. The artist and author must be turning in their respective graves.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
