Il Museo d’arte di Berna presenta un’ampia mostra di Giovanni Giacometti (1868-1933), padre dello scultore Alberto (1901-1966), mettendo in risalto la sua geniale, vibrante orchestrazione della luce e la potenza cromatica dei suoi dipinti.

Giacometti once quipped that only Francis Bacon had a messier studio than he did, perhaps indicative of a certain pride that he may have taken in his own permissive disorderliness. Yet, there are obvious elements of staging in these compositions that remind us of the artist's overall control of his environment. We can see this in the present work, where a few strategically placed ripe-red apples appear almost enshrined on a stool at the centre of the composition. The tension between order and disorder is at the heart of these compositions, and Giacometti's painting captures the beauty created by these forces in opposition.
