The Giacomettis
The rugged, mysterious Swiss mountain valley of Bergell has produced an extraordinary dynasty of artists: the Giacomettis. From the father, Giovanni, considered an Impressionist of the first hour, to the children Alberto, Diego, Ottilia, and Bruno, they were all endowed with remarkable artistic talent. First and foremost among them the world-renowned sculptor, painter and engraver, Alberto, who revolutionized the art world with his thin sculptures. Annetta, the strict mother and calming influence within the circle of her loved ones, kept the family together.
The intense family life, tucked away in the barren alpine landscape, created special conditions for the Giacomettis’ artistic development. Openness, exchange with other cultures and life in metropolises shaped their lives and work.
