Extract

“‘Of course not. The model is very important. Yanaihara and Caroline feel the same way you do about it, that posing is an active participation in the work. It’s not easy, either. I know that. But Genet felt that posing was completely passive. And he stopped posing because he felt he was being transformed into an object. I thought that was a very literary attitude.’”

[Alberto Giacometti in conversation with the author] Lord, James. A Giacometti portrait (New York: Farrar Strauss Giroux, 1980), p. 78.
