>This term then got a second revival in Henry Flynt's "Blueprint for civilization, which was published in 1975, where he Flynt described Verbatim Involuntary celibacy:
>The creep is an involuntary celibate because he fails to develop the surface traits of adulthood--poise and sophistication; and because he is shy, unassertive, and lacks self-confidence in the presence of others . The creep is awkward and has an unstylish appearance. He seems sexless and childish. He is regarded by the ideal adults with condescending scorn, amusement, or pity.

Well obviously, I find his works aesthetically pleasing. But I am also fascinated with the process behind his works. He basically felt that everything he did sucked and constantly tried to redo his work.

There is a great, short read called A Giacometti Portrait by James Lord, who sat as a model for him (pic rel). The portrait was supposed to take an afternoon or something like that, but ended up taking eighteen days because Giacometti kept redoing it.

Not all of his works of course, but enough of them to claim that, in general, there is some sort of alluring or captivating feeling which I get from looking at his works (sculpture in particular).

Let's compare him to Brancusi and Moore. They tend to make works with smooth and sleek surfaces, very easy to rest your eyes on. I sort of get the same feeling from looking at them as I would get from finding an abnormaly fine-looking stone out in the nature, if you know what I mean?

Giacometti on the other hand is quite different. The surfaces are craggy, uneven, and to be fair I wasn't a big fan when I first saw his works. But they very quickly grew on me, and I find that I can stare at them for a long time and feel like I can discover something new about them. Like certain types of Jazz, what at first sounds like dissonance can turn into something heavenly in the same way a jigsaw will fall into place.

Hope that made some sort of sense. What do you think about him yourself?

I find him terribly tragic. Art ought to beautiful, and he once made beautiful things. Peace is the tranquility of order. I do not think there can be beauty without harmony. While in this life I find there is some room for dissonance, it seems only to serve in passing from one harmonious relationship to another. I see the works of Giacometti, and I see the portrait of my former despair. But it would seem you and I stand on contrary sides of the object and its meaning.
