In 'Retrato de Giacometti', James Lord narrates the eighteen sessions in which he posed for the portrait made by Alberto Giacometti in 1964. Lord, who arrived in Paris in 1945 and became involved with numerous artists, offers an intimate view of Giacometti's creative process and his tireless search for reality through art. The author reflects on the abstract nature of reality and the impossibility of concretizing it without altering its essence, describing the artist's struggle as a constant and, at times, frustrating effort.
