ALBERTO GIOCOMETTI'S BOOKS & MOVIE BY ERNST SCHEIDEGGER




TRACES OF A FRIENDSHIP – ALBERTO GIOCOMETTI 2001
“With this volume I wish to document Giacometti's personality from a completely different standpoint. I do so using photographs taken almost continuously from 1943 up to the time of his death; these were the twenty years in which his art became well-known. During this time, I took countless photographs. I was one of the lucky ones allowed to experience his life.”
Ernst Scheidegger

The close friendship between Alberto Giacometti and Ernst Scheidegger spanned more than twenty years. This gave Scheidegger, the painter, gallery owner, photo-journalist and publisher, the opportunity to capture his revered friend on camera on so many different occasions. Hardly anybody else was allowed to observe Alberto Giacometti at such close quarters.





« ALBERTO GIOCOMETTI – THE EYES ON THE HORIZON » THE FILM
Many of the works created over the decades came from a tiny studio in Paris and are among the most important of 20th century art: the sculptures, paintings and drawings of Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966).
The film «Alberto Giacometti – Die Augen am Horizont» is a ‚tour d’horizon’ of the unique life and work of Giacometti, It begins with his personal impressions. Throughout his life he recorded his thoughts in writing: reflections, diary-like sketches, analyses of his work, accounts of his dreams, essays on fellow artists, and memories. Giacometti’s «Ecrits» (writings) provide the visual motifs for the film.
The film then provides insights into Giacometti based on the reminiscences of his friends and colleagues who worked with him – and who miss him. It’s a portrait of Giacometti by those who knew the man and his art well, just as the artist would have wished: unfinished.





ALBERTO GIOCOMETTI – SCULPTURES IN PLASTER
«As a white material plaster is superbly well suited to bringing a figure to life using light and shade. I discovered that the plaster casts reproduced Alberto’s work in a much more differentiated and lively way than many of the bronzes could. For this reason plaster figures became my favourite subjects for object photographs of Giacometti’s works.»
