«Alberto Giacometti» is the monograph that Yves Bonnefoy devoted to the Swiss sculptor and painter, published by H. Kliczkowski in hardback (80 pages, in Spanish).
The volume surveys the sculptures and paintings of Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) with colour photographs. Yves Bonnefoy, who knew the artist, analyses a body of work that departs from traditional figuration and the currents of its time to question the presence of the other and the human condition. It is completed with a detailed biography.
The Spanish edition was published in 2002 in the Memoria collection; it consists of 80 pages in hardback.
A work for fans of modern art, sculpture and artist biographies.
Yves Jean Bonnefoy was a French poet and art historian. He also published a number of translations, most notably the plays of William Shakespeare which are considered among the best in French. He was a professor at the Collège de France from 1981 to 1993 and is the author of several works on art, art history, and artists including Miró and Giacometti, and a monograph on Paris-based Iranian artist Farhad Ostovani. The Encyclopædia Britannica states that Bonnefoy was ″perhaps the most important French poet of the latter half of the 20th century.″
