Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:
Written over a period of forty years--from the author's first visit to Giacometti's studio, to his prolonged for Giacometti's portrait of him in 1960, up to his meditation on the artists completed ouvre after his death--"Looking at Giacometti" is a compelling mixture of biography and criticism that casts a bright light on twentieth-century art.
Review:
"A remarkably intimate study of the artist's thought and of his ambitions: a portrait in words by the sitter as he looks back at the portrait painter."
Stuart Hampshire, New York Review of Books
Review:"The story of Giacometti's stubborn loyalty to appearances has often been told. What makes Sylvester's version so entrancing is that he lets his account of the artist's studio method modulate into something more....Art criticism turns into a kind of memoir, as the focus shifts from art to the artist's social and intellectual style--his way of being."
Carter Ratcliff, Art in America, January 1997
