Finding Giacometti

Travel / tagged sculpture / May 8, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

It is a high calling to be in trouble
as you travel along the road
creating good Samaritans at every trip and fall

The trick starts out by renting a car
from a small gas station/liquor store

Sketchy directions and a wrong turn
an unmanned toll booth and two tunnels
some workmen suggest the one to the right
a tunnel we thought would surface in England

Not England but where?
Industrial park on a holiday
one man working in the flowers
directions to get us a little closer

And then, what you don’t find
unless you get this lost

A town with a Giacometti university
and a statue in the circular town square
that might well have been worth
coming all the way to France to see

  He was a creator (and rather renowned for his noses) but he worked more in bronze than in pine
  Alberto Giacometti
