A lively introduction to the life and work of Alberto Giacometti, whose unique style and innovative vision make him one of the most significant and internationally acclaimed sculptors of the postwar era

Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) is best known for his elongated, wraithlike sculptures. Instantly recognizable and inescapably associated with the existentialist despair of his time, these unusual figures presented a vulnerable image of humanity in which a generation traumatized by the war recognized itself, but they also continue to remain intensely meaningful to contemporary society today. This book is a key introduction to the life and work of Giacometti. It follows the story of his artistic evolution, from his first sketchbooks and paintings inspired by his father’s colorful postimpressionist style to his formative experience with death that shaped his obsession with the subject throughout his career. Exploring the artist’s move toward curious surrealist compositions and the emergence of his mature style, it celebrates the enduring power of one of the most internationally acclaimed sculptors of the postwar era.

这是对阿尔贝托·贾科梅蒂生平与作品的生动介绍，他独特的风格和富有创新性的视野使他成为战后时期最重要且享誉国际的雕塑家之一。

阿尔贝托·贾科梅蒂（1901–1966）最出名的是他那些细长、幽灵般的雕塑作品。这些独特的人物形象辨识度极高，且不可避免地与他那个时代的存在主义绝望感联系在一起，它们展现了人类脆弱的一面，让那一代饱受战争创伤的人从中看到了自己的影子，而即便在如今，这些作品对当代社会依然具有强烈的意义。这本书是了解贾科梅蒂生平与作品的重要入门读物。它讲述了他艺术风格的演变历程，从他最初受父亲色彩丰富的后印象派风格启发而创作的素描本和绘画，到那段影响深远的关于死亡的经历——这段经历塑造了他整个艺术生涯中对这一主题的痴迷。书中探讨了这位艺术家向奇特的超现实主义构图风格的转变，以及他成熟风格的形成，赞颂了这位战后时期享誉国际的雕塑家之一所拥有的持久影响力。
