Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) was one of the leading surrealist sculptors and inarguably one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. In this book, Monique Meyer presents previously unpublished drawings and watercolors by the prolific artist from the collection Giacometti's youngest brother Bruno bequeathed to Kunsthaus Z rich.Comprising about one hundred of Giacometti's works on paper, this well-guarded family treasure represents the artist's entire life, from his youth in Stampa, Switzerland to his later years in Paris. His sculptures and drawings--displaying emaciated figures isolated in space--offer a revealing look into issues of mortality, embodiment, and the human condition, while giving physical expression to Giacometti's twin obsessions, the human form and the alienation of modern life.
