Biography from AskART:
Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data compared to the extensive information about American artists.

Giovanni Giacometti was born at Stampa, near Grisons, Switzerland in 1868.  He was  a member of a very illustrious family that included Augusto Giacometti, his nephew, who was one of the claimants to the honor of having produced the first deliberately abstract works of art.  His sons were Alberto Giacometti and Diego, who lived his life as Alberto’s assistant. 

He studied at the Academy of Art in Munich in the years 1886 and 1887 and at the Academie Julian in Paris.  In 1893 he settled in Stampa.  He was an individualistic and accomplished painter in the late-impressionist manner.  He died in 1933. 

Written and compiled by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California.
