- Celebrated as a sculptor, painter and draughtsman, Alberto Giacometti’s distinctive figures are some of the most instantly recognisable works of modern art.
Here, curator and Director of Tate Modern, Frances Morris, highlights three key works in the artist's career.
A new exhibition at Tate Modern reasserts Giacometti’s place alongside the likes of Matisse, Picasso and Degas as one of the great painter-sculptors of the twentieth century.

Just yesterday I visited an exhibit featuring Giacommetti at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. My father was a 4 year fine arts major, so I grew up with the extremes of sculpture and painting. Modern art is about pushing the extremes, mostly exaggeration through minimalism. One thing that is persistent through modern art is narcissism. Which can be constructive or deconstructive. Either way, narcissism is empty. Which many of Giacommetti's sculptures embrace the emptiness. I'll confess, I am not a fan, but it reminds us where we are today. A VERY narcissistic society.
That dog at the end looks so sad and rotten but elegant at the same time.
I was fortunate to see an original Giacometti piece at the DMA in Dallas, Texas
These are amazing masterworks and the style is unique. The explanations of Mrs. Frances Morris are clear and concise. She is an expert. I liked the video and subscribed to the channel.
Thank you for this. It was a fascinating video of one of the great modern masters. If his work had to be summed up in one word, surely it must be 'elegant'. Thank you.
Beautiful !!
Thank you Tate
thank you tate
Most beautiful work .
Odi profanum tate.... an english.wharehouse of art...
I have a photo of 'The Chariot' by AG and I am still intrigued at how he created it.
So fascinating
Fascinating work. I love this. =)

"Se scoppiasse un incendio e dovessi scegliere tra salvare un Rembrandt ed un gatto, non avrei esitazione alcuna. Sceglierei il gatto. E, subito dopo,lo lascerei andar via, libero". (Alberto Giacometti).
so many if his sculptures can look like a persons shadow. Our shadow can take so many twisted forms like his sculptures-
Giacometti once said that he was not sculpting the human figure but the shadow that it cast.
Yes... he says it himself....
Warw, and yes...You can see all the changing shapes of the shadows when you see your own shadow and shadows on the wall, and so on...
Yes,.... and it so to speak overshadows my way of understanding and seeing his sculptures....
tate is awesome

Does that mean a child can’t produce art?
Says a fecking nobody.
The pretentious middle class, within whose sanctimonious pretentious waters we are drowning in, desperately attempting to justify the mediocrity of an otherwise failed painter and failed sculptor, so as to justify a world of art which, post the impressionist and the war, has been turned from a craft and trade no different to roofing and carpentry into a quick claim to fame amidst a world of champagne soaked gallery shows rather than tedious tiring workshops, a world whose “masterpieces’” are nothing more than the left over scrap metal and 2x4 from the local construction firm. Giacometti should have learnt to do brick laying and stonemasonry before claiming to be a sculptor, just another middle class sanctimonious self righteous post war artist whose work is nothing more than creative litter.
for someone condemning pretentiousness this comment is pretty pretentious
@@emilbrown7569 @Emil Brown How so? Tell me where and I will either apologise, correct myself or justify myself. In the world of the arts, the masters of which you no longer see, a true master is called such as they are requried to produce a masterpeice once they have qualifed from a guild, Giacometto was neither a master, a qualified sculptor, never produced an actual masterpeice, nor knew the secrets of the craft(masters), all he ever done was produced pretentious nonsense that was given an auroa of acceptance among the pretentiousness of the post war middle class due to his overtly pretentious charcater that middle class modernists seem to be attracted to, a sculptor from the foundations of a world that would eventually become mass consumerist art and a market, just like the selling of coca cola or ikea furniture. From the perspective of those that still see, still practice and protect the secrets of the craft, and still know the world of the arts all we see is the occulated rubbish of the military and the prison complex, just as Picasso produced occulated rubbish, just as Banksy produces occulated rubbish so too did Giacometti, the hijacking of a deeeply esoteric world of the occult that would drive most modern artists, specifically those of the middle class world of conceptualism and minimalism, into insanity and suicide. If I am wrong, then tell me the meaning of Rembrandt's Pendant Portraits?
@@myhomestudio1326 we do come from a difference in fundamental thinking of the arts so this exchange might prove to be frivolous. You preach of the masters and how their skill in realism, composition and whatever else your rubric of criteria is to be the opus of art. How pretentious the modern is when it seems you just lack the wanting to look from a different perspective. Less thinking more feeling. You find your beauty in the technical, me in the emotional which does not negate the former but is nothing more than a priority shift. How many of the same form of masters must ur society have? bland which i call it. i want to live in another world. i want to escape and allow my mind to consciously dream. That's how a modern work i relate too feels which is not all of them and i believe its important for reasons unimportant in this context yet at least. as i said we come from different schools of thought but after typing this and pondering why i don't agree with ur view entirely it was nice to think about but spewing this rhetoric like the "masters" art is any less subjective than a twombly piece as if its all meaningful in any more of a way than the other is why i called ur previous comment hypocritical. calling someones art shit in unnecessary long form just comes off that way.
@@emilbrown7569 No Emil the "masters" is not just a word, ok, you cannot dismiss, as "difference of fundamental thinking" centuries and even millenia of the developeing of a craft steeped in the occult and in magic that has produced all the great masters of the past and their masterpieces, all of which they had to produce to be recognised by their guild as a master of the craft so as to open a workshop and work full time as painter and sculptor. Tell me Emil, what do you know of the occult? What do you know of the craft of magic? What do you know of symbolism? The masters whose skill you dismiss practiced their craft when men and women were being burnt upon the stake, when men and women where being beheaded and guillotined, when men and women where being drowned for their believes, to explroe ideas, and profess allegiances to certain belief systems, the masters learnt to hide their ideas behind the occult of symbols, from Rembrandt, to Davinci from Carravoago to Bosche they all painted in the occult of much greater meaning, they were all qualifed masters of the craft and highly eductaed in the craft of magic and seriosiu schoalrs of the arts as magicians, it is from these ideas that magic evovled from the secrets of the craft guilds. Bland? It is bland because you cannot see past their wall Emil, only an artistic ignoramus would label the masterpieces of the masters as bland, their works seep infinte and universal meaning, worlds within worlds, layered realities and dimensions, the occulations of highly skilled and eductaed magicians, and Giacometti was neither, he could only aspire in his dreams to achieve the level of the true masters of the arts. Answer my question Emil, what is the meaing of the Pendant Portraits by Rembrandt, a true master? Here is a clip, try not to blink. th-cam.com/video/rgEcbJDfmVg/w-d-xo.html
Says a failed artist. You useless bar steward, born to lose.
