Giacometti (1967) 

Almost the perfect combination. Two great artists of their generation. No complaints my end

They’ve never seen a Giallo !

I does belittle both the artist and the intelligence of the audience to a novelty show, a circus act. Art is an absurdity to so many people.

The music matches the artist's work. It's surrealism. And the narration is classic.

@@MrEdlgar yup

Lo penso anch'io...

He Bacon Freud Picasso Matisse Auerbach

You can buy miniature replicas of his work on Etsy by the amazing UK based artist Neil Carter In his shop . I have 3 of them and they are incredible.

@@pinkgummybear766 Tem como comprar aqui do Brasil?

why are you pissing your pants

ALL artists are promoting themselves. They are doing t his for free or to make you feel good, you know. How pie-eyed.

@@aruglaempire2518 While I would agree that all artists are asserting identity whenever they pursue their vocation, some are publicly self-effacing, and create their art due to an inner calling or compulsion, not to satisfy any social demand or expectation. I have a friend, a talented painter and draughtsman, of whom this description is apt--he eschews fame, and always creates his works because he feels called to do so.

Virginia Hoffman probably yes.

Probably because it made him feel like it was time to work.

He used to wear the same suit all the time in his working place :)

Es un grande mi tío!!

Lol 😂

Rip lmao

Why does everything have to have music to tell us how to feel? It made sense during the silent film era but now it is just distraction.

Definitely avant-garde type composers. I'd look up John Cage, Ben Johnston, Harry Patch, Edgar Varese, Henry Cowell.

@@bryantvazquez18 respect, much thanks.

Poor soul

Inspired observation. There is definitely something of the antique, even prehistoric, in the sculptor's attenuated figures.

What would be the contemporary form of post-punk?

Prepared piano, microtonal music. I'd start with John Cage, Edgar Varese, Ben Johnston, Harry Partch, Henry Cowell.

Turn them on, Oscar [CC] but the French translation is qu'est-ce que c'est? Bizarre, oui?!

Giacometti was from italian Switzerland, he had a strong accent when speaking french. The automatic translator cannot give the right translation because it doesn't recognize the sounds. That's very funny :D. I'm French ; if somebody wishes it I can subtitle here what Giacometti says.

Ciao

@@laelmillo450 please 😊

@ Here it is ! I made my best : his way of speaking is far away from usual french, so it is sometimes hard to give a precise sense to his words : I have written what I heard. 1) « Jusqu’à maintenant, ce que je sais, c’est que si je voudrais faire l’œil comme je le vois, jusqu’à maintenant je n’ai jamais réussi. J’ai jamais réussi en peinture non plus, mais encore moins en sculpture parce que, si vous regardez en face, il n’a pas l’air tellement bombé, il a l’air plutôt d’une forme disons allongée, ovale allongée. Si vous le regarder en profil, il a l’air presque [cannot understand the word]. Alors c’est deux choses contradictoires, complètement, et en réalité c’est bel et bien et large et pointu en même temps. Alors comment voulez-vous faire une chose qui soit en même temps ronde et pointue ? Le problème est presque comme ça, hein. Et par exemple, en face même si vous savez, on croit que si on a de la terre et que je regarde, dans une bonne lumière, je devrais pouvoir faire la courbe de l’œil, la modeler comme je la vois. Mais ça me semble la chose la plus à peu près impossible du monde. Mais impossible pas seulement pour moi, mais pour toujours et pour tout le monde. » 2) « Ce que je sais c’est que plus j’enlève et plus ça grossit. Mais pourquoi ? Je ne sais pas encore. Parce que le dernier buste que je suis en train de faire, je ne fais qu’enlever et il est euh tellement gros que j’ai l’impression que c’est encore le double d’épaisseur. Donc il faudra enlever, enlever, enlever. Et alors là, je ne sais pas du tout. Là, c’est là où je me perds le plus ! C’est parce que c’est comme si la matière même devenait une illusion. »
