內容簡介

超現實主義藝術家-Alberto Giacometti與弟弟間的手足情感

瑞士雕塑家-Alberto Giacometti與弟弟Diego相差一歲，但兩人的個性與興趣卻截然不同。Alberto從小就展現了他的藝術天份，喜歡待在家裡創作與看書。Diego則喜歡戶外活動，但兩人卻有著無可取代的深厚兄弟之情。

Alberto Giacometti是二十世紀知名的存在主義雕塑家，以纖細且高大的雕塑作品聞名世界，而這些雕塑作品的背後，是弟弟Diego在一旁的協助與心靈支持，兩兄弟以自己的風格與方式，創作出具有Giacometti風格的藝術品。

以繪本古典的畫風，呈現Giacometti兄弟間的手足情深，附錄的部分，則有Giacometti兄弟發跡的時間軸，照片與如何賞析Giacometti雕塑作品等資訊。

The inspiring true story of the Giacometti brothers, one an artist, the other a daredevil, both devoted to their craft . . . but even more devoted to each other.

Everyone who knew them agreed. Alberto was the genius of the family. His younger brother Diego was his opposite--he didn't care much for books or schoolwork, and he had no idea what he would be when he grew up. But despite their differences, the two brothers shared an intense bond.

Alberto Giacometti became one of the iconic artists of the twentieth century, whose tall, spindly sculptures grace the collections of museums around the world. Diego was always at his side, helping and encouraging, and in his spare time creating remarkable pieces of furniture, works of sculpture in their own right.

The poignant story of brothers and sculptors Alberto and Diego Giacometti is skillfully brought to life in the hands of multiple Sibert Honor authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan, and the spectacular artwork of Hadley Hooper.

This lavishly illustrated 64-page book includes extensive backmatter, complete with a timeline, source notes, photographs, and an essay on how to look at a Giacometti sculpture.
