Jacques Dupin’s Critical and Poetical Response to Giacometti’s Sculpture
Keywords:
literature and visual arts, French poetry, Dupin, Jacques, sculpture, Giacometti, Alberto, art criticismAbstract
The article deals with connections between the French poet and critic Jacques Dupin and the Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti. Its main goal is to manifest and to explain certain similarities in their understanding of a work of art, which surpass mere motific or thematical parallels. It is above all Dupin’s understanding of the nature of a work of art and a reflection on the medium of art; this reflection is a rather hermeneutic interlacement between reflection on Giacometti’s work and on Dupin’s own artistic creation. The article is mostly based on Dupin’s monograph Giacometti, his books of poetry L’embrasure and Gravir, Giacometti’s sculptures and his diaries.References
