    Summary note
    Il libro analizza in modo approfondito le opere di Alberto Giacometti, uno dei protagonisti della storia dell'arte del XX secolo, accostandole al pensiero di un importante filosofo coevo, Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Ripercorrendo la sua vita e gli scambi culturali intrattenuti con gli intellettuali del dopoguerra, in particolare a Parigi, il volume propone una lettura fenomenologica dell'esperienza artistica di Giacometti. L'autrice attribuisce un disegno di Giacometti del 1946 al ritratto di Maurice Merleau-Ponty, che si recò nello studio parigino dell'artista in quel periodo. Il libro include un epistolario avvenuto tra Lorella Scacco e lo studioso svizzero Reinhold Hohl che è stato rilevante per lo sviluppo del libro.0/0This book presents an in-depth analysis of the oeuvre produced by Alberto Giacometti, one of the most prominent players of Twentieth-century art history. It draws a parallel between his works and the theories of an important coeval philosopher, MauriceMerleau-Ponty. Retracing his life and the cultural exchanges he held with postwar intellectuals, especially in Paris, the volume proposes a phenomenological interpretation of Giacometti's artistic experience. The author identified a 1946 drawing by Giacometti as the portrait of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who visited the artist's studio in Paris in that period. The book also includes an exchange of letters between Lorella Scacco and Swiss scholar Reinhold Hohl, which provided key material for the book.
