Giacometti and my mother
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California. Alberto Giacometti is one of my mother’s favorite artists. Giacometti was 14 when my now 94 year old mother was born and this piece was probably cast around the time I was born.
she has good taste. great artist.
She does Edward and he was.
Very striking image. The two make quite a contrasting pair.The color of her jacket versus the rust. One is very much older than the other, eh?. I can’t tell if the Giacometti is smiling or not. Interesting.
Scott: Yes, a picture of contrasts. No doubt the Giacometti is snickering at my mother’s girth. ;)
