Marc Camille Chaimowicz - Jean Genet. The Studio of Giacometti - Grey Tiger Books 2013

English translation of Jean Genet’s L'Atelier d'Alberto Giacometti is intended as a (part-posthumous) collaborative enterprise between successive generations of highly talented French/English artists/writers. Jean Genet and Alberto Giacometti became friends in the 1950’s. Genet posed for 3 paintings and 4 drawings by Giacometti and, whilst in the studio, had leisure to observe the artist at work. This resulting essay is a rare opportunity to observe two of the great creative minds of the last century.
Translated by Phil King, illustrated by Marc Camille Chaimowicz.
