Alberto Giacometti / Dalí - Jardins de rêves
Serena BUCCALO-MUSSELY
Résumé
“Gardens of Dreams” brings together in a new and original fashion the works of Alberto Giacometti and Salvador Dalí around the idea of an imaginary garden. This book highlights their friendship as well as their common taste for the exploration of dreamed spaces. Giacometti and Dalí, members of the Surrealist group, have the same frequentations. Their conversation is bright, intellectual, creative and their works engage
in a fruitful dialogue. At the beginning of the thirties, Giacometti and Dalí imagine together an extraordinary garden for the Vicomte and Vicomtesse De Noailles. This four-handed project, known through drawings, includes surrealist artworks by Albert Giacometti within a vast dreamlike landscape typical of Dalí’s style. This phantasmatic landscape includes a sculptural environment conceived by Giacometti for an open-air space: the Project for a square, reconstructed for the rst time at the Institut Giacometti. This work illustrates the concept of the garden shared by Giacometti and Dalí and their taste for ambiguous forms and images.
