«Le dernier modèle» is the biographical essay by Franck Maubert, published by Hachette Pluriel Editions in paperback (125 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs the relationship between Alberto Giacometti and Caroline, a young woman in her twenties whom he met in the bars of Montparnasse. Caroline became his muse and final model and stayed with him until the artist's death. Maubert, who met Caroline in Nice, recovers her untold story, a little-known episode from Giacometti's final years.
It won the Prix Renaudot Essai 2012. The original edition was published in April of that same year; this paperback edition came out in June 2014.
Suitable for readers of artist biographies and for those who want to approach the cultural atmosphere of mid-twentieth-century Montparnasse.
