Book Description
The Lord placed the name Alberto in my heart years ago, and I knew then that one day I would write about him. The book Alberto's Coat of Love is about teaching children how to deal with a loss, not only the loss through death but also of a friendship, a pet, or something personal, etc. The Lord showed me how this would help the child/children understand and at the same time help them better able to cope with the situation happening in their lives. This book will help adults as well. It is simple but effective, as it focuses on the relationship between a five-year-old boy and his grandfather and the lessons in life learned through simple everyday tasks. The Lord also showed me the strength of children, and although at times it appears they are not listening to what we are telling them, on the contrary, they are holding on to our every word. I pray everyone who reads this book will be filled with peace. Enjoy!

Giacometti in Paris
Author: Michael Peppiatt
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1526600978
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
THE TIMES AND WATERSTONES BEST ART BOOK OF 2023 'Intimate and insightful . . . reads like a novel by Samuel Beckett' Paul Theroux A portrait of one of the twentieth century's greatest sculptors from one of our most eminent art historians Today the work of Alberto Giacometti is world-famous and his sculptures sell for record-breaking prices. But from his early days as an unknown outsider to the end of a dramatic international career, Giacometti lived in the same hovel of a studio in Paris. It was Paris that made him, and he in turn immortalised the city through his art. Arriving in Paris from the Swiss Alps in 1922, Giacometti was shaped not only by his relationships with remarkable artists and writers – from Picasso, Breton and Dalí to Sartre, Beauvoir and Beckett – but by the everyday life, pre-war and post-war, of Paris itself. His distinctive figures emerged from the city's unique atmosphere: the crumbling grey stone of its humbler streets and the café-terraces buzzing with radical ideas and racy gossip. In Giacometti in Paris, Michael Peppiatt, who spent thirty years documenting the Parisian art world and mixing with many of the people Giacometti knew, brilliantly charts the course of the artist's life and work. From falling in and out with the Surrealists to years of artistic anguish, from devotion to his mother to intense friendships, tragic love affairs and a fraught marriage, this is an intimate portrait of an outstanding artist in exceptional times.
