Giacometti’s art is in many ways an exporation of “process”. The process of painting itself, and the process of looking and observing, and translating those observations into marks on a canvas. It is a completed stripped out form of painting which makes no concessions to narrative or makes any attempt to please the eye.
Sometimes I think he was the greatest painter of the twentieth century – so its strange tht he is most famous for his sculptures. Caroline was his lover for many years.
