Spend a few intense minutes with Alberto Giacometti in his Paris studio and see him at work on his striking sculptures.
Spend a few minutes with Giacometti in his Paris studio and watch him "squeezing and stretching and mauling the clay in his hands". Through sharply edited close-ups, dissonant soundtrack and solemn commentary, this Arts Council film captures the intensity of the artist's concentration as he rhythmically models the spindly, elongated figures that characterise his work.
The Arts Council commissioned this film to coincide with their major retrospective of Giacometti's work at the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) in the summer of 1965. A similar exhibition was held concurrently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, sealing the artist's reputation as a modern master. Listen out for Giacometti's voice and hone your French - it isn't subtitled.

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.
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.
@@MrEdlgar yup
Are there still artists like this? The ones i know are more obsessed with promoting themselves that to actually commit to their craft.
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.
the credits on this film are superb
Loved him since I was little. A true creative hero
Thank you for this. His sculptures are instantly recognizable. He will always be one of the very best. Thank you.
He
Bacon
Freud
Picasso
Matisse
Auerbach
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?

Excellent. A moment of grace
Thankyou! I’m struck by how much he looks like one of his own figures😂
Lo penso anch'io...
Sinister music aside, this was incredible footage
Wow. So beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Amazing...
Legend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Que grande mi tío!! Orgulloso de su talento!! 💪
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!!
Great, I liked it!
Great film (too short!).. Thanks..
accidentaly started played this on full blast with 300w 2.1 speakers... first bleep fucked me up sooo bad
Lol 😂
Rip lmao
super
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
Whenever i see this i think about my art teachers imitation of his up and down eye movements. 😂
Great ❤
Thanks!! USA
On voit l expression et la recherche !!
Misterio del.... espíritu
.....
...un " misterio.." , maravilloso...
A Giacometti...
Lovley
very deep
his eyes always remind me of the statues of gudea
Looking through the portal of the human soul.
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.
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.
كم انته رائع ياالله
Giacometti" schauen muss man" !
and yet
Am i the only one to think that his art fits perfectly with post-punk ???
What would be the contemporary form of post-punk?
No subtitles ☹️
Poor soul
100 Swiss franc
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 !
...y , la música,...el taller , la callecita

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?
Whats the music
Prepared piano, microtonal music. I'd start with John Cage, Edgar Varese, Ben Johnston, Harry Partch, Henry Cowell.
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.
Please sub title the artists words
Subtitles anyone?
Turn them on, Oscar [CC] but the French translation is qu'est-ce que c'est? Bizarre, oui?!
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.
Ciao
@@laelmillo450 please 😊
@ 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. »
Sure wish my French was better.
😂😂😂❤😮😅😅😊
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.
Life without the fat.
Tax e v a s i o n
the uglier it is the more valuable it is.
thats why people buy fakes too
malditos hipsters :V
So dramatic... totally unnecessary.

WHAT IS ALL THIS FUSS OVER THIS 20THC REPEATER OF THE SAME SHIT, OVER & OVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
IT'S OBVIOUS FROM THE IMAGES, GIACO WAS MISSING SOMETHING BETWEEN HIS EARS
