Summary:

"Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) and Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) never met, but many essential characteristics bring them close together: their particular practice in relation to their studio, the attachment to a familiar environment and models, and a singular research rooted in careful attention to real life, as this book shows. Major artists of the 20th century, they were original voices who, having experienced the avant-garde, revitalised classic forms: still life and landscape for Morandi, the human figure for Giacometti, both artists keen to express in the post-war years, a universal vision of the human condition"--Back cover.
