Diego Giacometti

Description:

"This volume presents Diego Giacometti's oeuvre almost in its entirety and offers many heretofore unpublished insights into his life and work. From his childhood in a small village in Switzerland, through his adolescent wanderings, his collaborative efforts with his brother in Paris, and his coming-of-age as a furniture-maker and sculptor, all the way up to the pinnacle of his career - his last and greatest commission, the furniture and lighting fixtures for the Musée Picasso in Paris - Diego's intellectual and technical developments are probed in this book. Daniel Marchesseau examines the work that made Diego famous: his bronze-cast tables, chairs, and accessories, and the tiny bestiary that decorated them; his bronze and plaster sculpture; and the work he completed with his brother Alberto."--book jacket.
