Tout N’est Que Dessin

The exhibition "Tout N’est Que Dessin" at Mennour, Paris, focuses on Alberto Giacometti's lifelong dedication to drawing. Throughout his career, from his early training to his mature works, drawing was a fundamental practice for Giacometti, serving as his primary means of capturing reality. He believed that "whether it concerns sculpture or painting, only drawing counts," highlighting its central role in his artistic process.

The works on display demonstrate how drawing was not merely a preparatory step but the core of his artistic exploration. Giacometti's drawings, particularly those from the 1950s and 1960s, reveal a sculptural quality, with lines that model forms and create a sense of depth and vibration on the paper. This exhibition underscores the continuous connection Giacometti maintained between drawing, painting, and sculpture, treating each medium as an extension of the same perceptual experience.
