Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti, each in
their own way, deeply disrupted existing artistic codes and pushed the barriers of established
aesthetic canons. This tome reveals the dialogue, largely unexplored until now, between the artists on the subjects and questions central to their
work.
The
two
legendary
twentieth-century

artists shared a vast network of acquaintances
and sources of inspiration, which are mapped
out in a constellation diagram. More than one
hundred full-page reproductions of their works
establish
clear
correlations
in
their
artistic

production, and expert authors offer incisive
insight on these links, drawing on previously
unpublished

documents.

An

anthology

of

historical texts offers the perspective of the
master artists’ contemporaries. This volume reproduces the principal works
and text from the
Picasso-Giacometti
exhibition
held at the Musee Picasso in Paris from October 4,
2016
to-February
5,
2017,
produced
in

conjunction with the Musee Picasso and the
Fondation Giacometti and traveling to Qatar in
spring 2017.
