In Giacometti's studio
Article Abstract:
Sculptor Albert Giacometti lived in a tiny studio off the rue d'Alesia near Montparnasse, Paris, France from 1927-1966. He did his sculpture from memory, but painted and drew from life. He drew constantly and always worked at night. His younger brother Diego did all the craftwork, modelled for him and advised him, keeping his own work as designer and maker of bronze furniture marginal until after Alberto's death. His sculpture looked best in the studio, before it had been cast in bronze.

Consolidation has increased among food wholesalers, also, but the remaining operations will be more efficient and better managed. Several of these stocks will be of interest to short-term investors, but long-term earnings prospects are more meager.
