Biographical Poetry,

This review is from: Mythic Giacometti (Hardcover)
Mythic Giacometti is not a straight forward biography, but it's more telling as to the subject's character than almost any true "biography" I've read. Lord's raison d'ętre here is casting Giacometti in the light of a mythological hero--hence, we may suppose, the title.
The conceit feels a bit hokey at first, and even at the end I must say I'm not entirely convinced that Giacometti is descendent from Oedipus, but the conceit allows Lord to explore Giacometti as more than an amalgamation of facts but as a whole rounded artistic entity. And that point of view is surely more enlightening for fans of Giacometti's remarkable artistic career. |
