Giacometti: Critical Essays considers Giacometti's work and career from the 1920s to the 1960s via a series of specific contextual studies. 'This informative and imaginative critical mosaic champions a comparative pallet in approaching the uniqueness of powerful aesthetic artefacts. [...] The book will absorb literary critics as much as art historians: it is a testimony to Giacometti's own iconic figure striding confidently forwards but enveloped in the frames allowing him to move.'
