Diego Giacometti by Daniel Marchesseau (Book)
About the Item
A beautifully photographed book which covers the work and career of one of the 20th centuries greatest metal ware artists and sculptors. 220 pages with 284 photographic illustrations, 26 of which are in colour. Text is in French.
How can we faithfully evoke, while respecting his modesty, the modest and singular man, so marvellous, whom we loved without reserve, how can we define, by placing him in his rank, the unclassifiable charm of his work?... Diego, who possesses the gifts and science of a sculptor, humbly described himself as a handyman because of the utilitarian purpose of his work. In his temperament, he is similar to Braque and Laurens, heirs to the artisanal and manual lineage that long constituted the living sap of Paris. Among sculptors, he venerated Daumier for his moral uprightness, his popular faith, his plastic certainty and his tactile flavour. His bronze-making technique separates him from traditional cabinetmakers as well as contemporary furniture designers, most often architects, who mentally create their steel or polyester designs. And his working-class approach is radically opposed to the mechanical conception of industrial design... Respected by the best designers of his time, loved by peasants of his village with immemorial rites and of the fine little working-class people of his Parisian district, help and support of his brother and his mythical glory, Diego leaves, under his secret dandyism, a singular example of generous independence and amused wisdom. Rarer and perhaps more precious today than that of the artist, he slowly and silently forged his destiny as a craftsman-poet, combining a concern for the useful with the charm and freshness of the marvellous.
