Giacometti
I know Chris is attracted to the work of Alberto Giacometti. So he?ll be interested in this article from the excellent arts section of The New Republic (which is otherwise a repulsive reactionary rag. Often I find myself agreeing with the stuff they put in their post-911 Idiocy Watch section).
There?s also a monumental new book on him by the veteran French poet Yves Bonnefoy. I think Chris will regret not scamming for a review copy of it. But if he did manage to order a copy, he?d need an elephant-sized letterbox. It?s 575-pages and ?oversized? as they call it in public libraries.
