Everyone complaining about the dramatic music. I love it. Sounds like John Cage, which to me makes sense. Avante garde sculptor/artists meets avante garde composer.
Worth watching is the film by Stanley Tucci, 'Last Portrait' - an account of Giacometti painting James Lord's portrait. The film is based on Lord's account of sitting for Giacometti. The studio, as seen here and in other clips, is faithfully reproduced. The point I wanted to make about Giacometti's figures is they seem to me to represent the irredeemable suffering of humankind. They are lonely figures in an empty world, they stare out at nothing but the void. When we look at them we are asked to explain our own existance in the world. The little I know about art is that much value is to be found in the creative process as in the finished work and I wonder what Giacometti was truly experiencing while he drew, painted and sculpted for often the process of creation can be transcendental as well as illusory (and troublesome and elusive as well.) Giacometti, I feel, was struggling to clarify what he saw or how he saw the world. Hence the working and re-working and perhaps knowing deep down that, at the end of the day, nothing can be reconciled in the way we might want them to be. Perhaps the biography of Giacometti by James Lord will help me to understand better this very special artist.
@@aruglaempire2518 While I would agree that all artists are asserting identity whenever they pursue their vocation, some are publicly self-effacing, and create their art due to an inner calling or compulsion, not to satisfy any social demand or expectation. I have a friend, a talented painter and draughtsman, of whom this description is apt--he eschews fame, and always creates his works because he feels called to do so.
This is a video recording of his final years, when he was in physical decline. It shows that he was working on his production right up to the time of his death.
"Roger, could you do us some of your more avant-garde stuff for this thing we're doing about a modern artist?" "Will this do? I'm worried it might overwhelm the narration or distract from the subject." "Oh don't worry, it's just an Arts Council thing, they'll love it!"
What drew me to Giacometti as a young man was that he had one style as a surrealist but then he completely reinvents himself.. Most artist get pegged to that style that made them a commercial success.most don't have the guts to change paths.
Giacometti was from italian Switzerland, he had a strong accent when speaking french. The automatic translator cannot give the right translation because it doesn't recognize the sounds. That's very funny :D. I'm French ; if somebody wishes it I can subtitle here what Giacometti says.
@ Here it is ! I made my best : his way of speaking is far away from usual french, so it is sometimes hard to give a precise sense to his words : I have written what I heard. 1) « Jusqu’à maintenant, ce que je sais, c’est que si je voudrais faire l’œil comme je le vois, jusqu’à maintenant je n’ai jamais réussi. J’ai jamais réussi en peinture non plus, mais encore moins en sculpture parce que, si vous regardez en face, il n’a pas l’air tellement bombé, il a l’air plutôt d’une forme disons allongée, ovale allongée. Si vous le regarder en profil, il a l’air presque [cannot understand the word]. Alors c’est deux choses contradictoires, complètement, et en réalité c’est bel et bien et large et pointu en même temps. Alors comment voulez-vous faire une chose qui soit en même temps ronde et pointue ? Le problème est presque comme ça, hein. Et par exemple, en face même si vous savez, on croit que si on a de la terre et que je regarde, dans une bonne lumière, je devrais pouvoir faire la courbe de l’œil, la modeler comme je la vois. Mais ça me semble la chose la plus à peu près impossible du monde. Mais impossible pas seulement pour moi, mais pour toujours et pour tout le monde. » 2) « Ce que je sais c’est que plus j’enlève et plus ça grossit. Mais pourquoi ? Je ne sais pas encore. Parce que le dernier buste que je suis en train de faire, je ne fais qu’enlever et il est euh tellement gros que j’ai l’impression que c’est encore le double d’épaisseur. Donc il faudra enlever, enlever, enlever. Et alors là, je ne sais pas du tout. Là, c’est là où je me perds le plus ! C’est parce que c’est comme si la matière même devenait une illusion. »
Peppiatt stated: "I didn't dare go and knock." But why not? Why couldn't Peppiatt just go and knock on Giacometti's door and talk to him? I was looking at my most recent sculptures and it was obvious that they were far superior to the sculptures of Giacometti which are so embarrassingly bad, and no one really likes them, but art critics have to pretend to because they are obliged to just as they pretend to like de Kooning because they are obliged to. I am still waiting for Peppiatt to knock on my door but I don't think he dare knock: but it is his loss, not mine. Reply

Almost the perfect combination. Two great artists of their generation. No complaints my end
They’ve never seen a Giallo !
I does belittle both the artist and the intelligence of the audience to a novelty show, a circus act. Art is an absurdity to so many people.
The music matches the artist's work. It's surrealism. And the narration is classic.
@@Ayog06 yup

Thank you for this. His sculptures are instantly recognizable. He will always be one of the very best. Thank you.

You can buy miniature replicas of his work on Etsy by the amazing UK based artist Neil Carter In his shop . I have 3 of them and they are incredible.
@@pinkgummybear766 Tem como comprar aqui do Brasil?
Loved him since I was little. A true creative hero
the credits on this film are superb
Thankyou! I’m struck by how much he looks like one of his own figures😂
Lo penso anch'io...
Excellent. A moment of grace
Are there still artists like this? The ones i know are more obsessed with promoting themselves that to actually commit to their craft.
ALL artists are promoting themselves. They are doing t his for free or to make you feel good, you know. How pie-eyed.

Yes, you see them sitting on the street with little tinfoil men and animals.
All time one of my favorite artists. Wonder if he always worked in a jacket and tie. tee hee
Virginia Hoffman probably yes.
Virginia Hoffman
Probably because it made him feel like it was time to work.
He used to wear the same suit all the time in his working place :)
Es un grande mi tío!!
Wow. So beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Sinister music aside, this was incredible footage
Wonderful artist. Excellent documentary, Really captured the stark beauty of Giacometti's figures.
Que grande mi tío!! Orgulloso de su talento!! 💪
wonderful
This is so great i'm pissing my pants! Alberto truly was and is the greatest sculptor ever coming from this ball we call earth.
why are you pissing your pants
accidentaly started played this on full blast with 300w 2.1 speakers... first bleep fucked me up sooo bad
Lol 😂

A Giacometti...
maravillosa publicación
gracias
On voit l expression et la recherche !!
Amazing...
Thank you )
Whenever i see this i think about my art teachers imitation of his up and down eye movements. 😂
TO THINK AND WORK LIKE GIACO REQUIRES THE "MIND OF A CHILD", THAT'S ALL
YOU ""ART LOVERS" HAVE HERE !!!!!!
one of the greatest
Legend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
His figures kept getting thinner and thinner. At some point they would become invisible as he kept working on them.
Why does everything have to have music to tell us how to feel?
It made sense during the silent film era but now it is just distraction.
Thanks!! USA
Long shot here: could anyone offer info/insight on the instrumentation and music? It's great.
Definitely avant-garde type composers. I'd look up John Cage, Ben Johnston, Harry Patch, Edgar Varese, Henry Cowell.
@@bryantvazquez18 respect, much thanks.
Great, I liked it!
Am i the only one to think that his art fits perfectly with post-punk ???
What would be the contemporary form of post-punk?
super
Check out how he draws, the master's touch. Great video-minus the dramatic music.
ALL OF HIS MODELS APPEAR TO BE THE EMACIATED BODIES OF THE SAME FAMILY MEMBERS. OOOH ! SPOOKIE !
Looking through the portal of the human soul.
What drew me to Giacometti as a young man was that he had one style as a surrealist but then he completely reinvents himself..
Most artist get pegged to that style that made them a commercial success.most don't have the guts to change paths.
احبه واحب نظرته للأشياء على انها فانية مهما بقت 🩷
Great ❤
his eyes always remind me of the statues of gudea
Inspired observation. There is definitely something of the antique, even prehistoric, in the sculptor's attenuated figures.
very deep
Lovley
No subtitles ☹️
Poor soul
To me, I see in his figures a heavy influence of Cycladic art.
Giacometti" schauen muss man" !
ジャコメッティに関して、長年研究しています・
Já escreveu algo sobre ele?
9:35 ...a dead ringer for Michel Leiris.
Subtitles anyone?
Turn them on, Oscar [CC] but the French translation is qu'est-ce que c'est? Bizarre, oui?!

Whats the music
Prepared piano, microtonal music. I'd start with John Cage, Edgar Varese, Ben Johnston, Harry Partch, Henry Cowell.
Roger Smalley, Australian composer.

Sure wish my French was better.
Terrible feeling but truthful
and yet

This guy was a sham and a fraud. Had absolutely no artistic talent, only good business sense.
Like all of us minus the business sense.
