Seeing. Feeling. Being: Alberto Giacometti



I was introduced to Alberto Giacometti as a teenager through the Jean Genet biography. I have since seen quite a few sculptures and oils and canvas from the Artist but hardly a handful of drawings. The series that was showing until today at the Singapore Arts Museum based mostly on the 'Paris Sans Fin' lithographs gave me an entirely different perspective into his work. Most of them might look like rough sketches to the uninitiated but they are an excellent insight into his Parisian life, his favourite subjects and representations of man.
