Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-07 00:00:00 Jemz Castillo Another one of those books to send friends. I'm fascinated by process, and this is a perfect observation of the creative process of one of my favorite artists. The part about looking at the subject, where G tells the story about painting a Japanese man, so intensely that he forgets that he's not Japanese.... I love that: looking and becoming what you see, or part of it. I used to (re)read the copy I'd send friends so that we could share the words...each of us being in possession of that particular script at some moment...like owning, being in possession of, I suppose "sharing" an object or piece of art with someone you care about deeply. That's when I lived in places that allowed access to buy copies easily. Now, I hardly send it to anyone, only my dearest friends, the ones I know will understand it.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-09 00:00:00 Stan Frantz American writer James Lord became friends with Alberto Giacometti in the years after WWII, and in the early '60s sat for a portrait. This brief memoir recounts the 18 days that Lord spent immobile in Giacometti's Paris studio, while the artist cursed, complained, procrastinated, and gave voice to an incredible sense of self doubt about his abilities and indeed the whole prospect of art. This book provided the inspiration for the recent film "Final Portrait," but it does not contain many of the episodes from the film involving Giacometti's relationship with his wife and mistress. Lord seems too polite to dish the dirt here, but he does provide an indelible portrait of his own of the artistic process.
