Giacometti

"[Bonnefoy's] identification with Giacometti in the biography is exhaustive and exhausting. One feels either that there is no need ever to read anything else, or that before opening this book, one should be pre-armed with enough familiarity with the subject not to be overwhelmed by the author's pervasive personality....[T]he book suffers no self-doubt, not in its belief, nor in its method. And its direction is constant, always the same; he pursues his questioning of the artist's meanings with a professional and moral stamina of the highest order....[I]t is its sustained intensity that makes it such a valuable monograph.Yves Bonnefoy is the author of 'Giacometti', published 1993 under ISBN 9782080135124 and ISBN 2080135120.
