Alberto Giacometti: Eyes on the Horizon Video. {Discontinued. Please click on links below for available videos.} Like many great artists, Alberto Giacometti worked all his life on basically one task-and, in his estimate, failed. This program presents the definitive biography of the sculptor and painter by looking at a wide selection of works from his entire career paired with interviews and discussion with his contemporaries and Giacometti himself. Among those interviewed are James Lord, Giacometti's biographer; photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson; and painter Balthus. Rare footage of Giacometti explicating his artistic philosophy while sculpting in his studio makes this program as authoritative as it is engaging. (60 minutes.) Art History, Art and Photography. 2001.
