In this major new interpretation of Giacometti and his work  art historian and psychoanalyst Laurie Wilson demonstrates how the artists secret beliefs and emotional scars are reflected in his evocative sculpture  drawings  and paintings.  Wilsons Giacometti was an extremely imaginative child who entwined fantasy and real-life experiences. As he matured  the artist combined fact and fancy into evolving myths  part conscious and part unconscious. Drawing on biographical data uncovered during a decade of research  Wilson reconstructs traumatic events and issues in Giacomettis life?including family births and deaths in early childhood  world wars and their aftermath  and his intense and ambivalent relationship with his parents?and examines their profound effects on his artistic evolution. These startling new interpretations will forever change the way we understand both the man and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789752688693,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300090374","price":39.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300090376.jpg?v=1784696596","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/alberto-giacometti-myth-magic-and-the-man-9780300090376","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
