   Who was Giacometti?

   • Giacometti was an artist both rooted in the exact and transported by the visionary. He was a maker and a seer, a craftsman and an alchemist. In advance of his retrospective at Tate Modern, Tate Etc. explores the life and work of the artist whose sculptures were filled with 'iconic dignity, a stillness, a solitariness, a sense of a dense inner life'

   When did Giacometti come to Paris?

   • Giacometti arrived in Paris to study in 1922. He got to know, over the following decades, a great number of the leading artists and writers in the city, including many surrealists. Some of his early sculpture, such as Suspended Ball from 1930–1 or Woman with Her Throat Cut from 1932, is as good as surrealism gets.

   Did Dietrich help Giacometti?

   • Dietrich, hardly the sunniest of characters herself, observed that she “could not help him in his misfortune”. Describing Giacometti’s arrival in Paris, Peppiatt imagines the artist walking along the boulevards past open-backed autobuses. Passengers hop off with a “well-practised, casual flourish”.

   Did Michael Peppiatt meet Alberto Giacometti?

   • Michael Peppiatt narrowly missed meeting Alberto Giacometti. As a young writer, he’d arrived in Paris in the winter of 1966 with a letter of introduction from their mutual friend Francis Bacon. Standing outside Giacometti’s studio — “a broken-down-rickety, insalubrious hovel” in Montparnasse — he shied away from knocking on the door.

   What was Giacometti interested in?

   • He was interested in form in all its freedom and mystery as much as he was interested in expression or self-expression. Giacometti did not arrive quickly or easily at what became his signature style. And even when he did, each object he made had a real sense of newness and struggle about it.

   Does Giacometti have any photographs?

   • Here, period photographs by Man Ray, Brassaï and Henri Cartier-Bresson help portray the scene. But there are no images of Giacometti’s works, an omission that hampers a clear understanding of his artistic development.
