520    $a "Isabel Rawsthorne est la créatrice d'une œuvre picturale secrète et méconnue. On a surtout retenu d'elle et de sa vie aventureuse qu'elle fut l'amante solaire et le modèle d'Alberto Giacometti. Francis Bacon confia qu'Isabel fut son unique amante. Elle fut encore son amie, son modèle, sa complice jusqu'à la fin. Elle posa d'abord pour le sculpteur Epstein, pour Balthus, Derain. Picasso fit plusieurs portraits d'elle sans qu'elle cède à ses avances.À travers Isabel, son foyer magnétique et sa liberté fracassante, on assiste à une confrontation entre deux géants de la figuration, Bacon et Giacometti. Au moment même où triomphe l'abstraction dont ils se détournent avec une audace quasi héroïque. Bacon, scandaleux, spectaculaire, carnassier, soulevé par une exubérance vitale irrésistible mais d'une lucidité noire sur la cruauté et sur la mort. Giacometti, poursuivant sa quête d'une ressemblance impossible, travailleur obsessionnel jusqu'à l'épuisement. Chez Isabel, la mélancolie alterne avec l'ivresse vagabonde.Des années 30 à la fin du siècle, telle est la destinée de ce trio passionné, d'une extravagance inédite, partageant une révolution esthétique radicale et une complicité bouleversante."-- $c Publisher's website.
520    $a Isabel Rawsthorne is the creator of a secret and little-known pictorial work. We especially remembered her and her adventurous life that she was the solar lover and the model of Alberto Giacometti. Francis Bacon confided that Isabel was his only lover. She was still his friend, his model, his accomplice until the end. She first posed for the sculptor Epstein, for Balthus, Derain. Picasso made several portraits of her without her giving in to his advances. Through Isabel, her magnetic focus and her shattering freedom, we witness a confrontation between two giants of figuration, Bacon and Giacometti. At the very moment when abstraction triumphs from which they turn away with an almost heroic audacity. Bacon, scandalous, spectacular, carnivorous, lifted by an irresistible vital exuberance but with a black lucidity on cruelty and death. Giacometti, pursuing his quest for an impossible resemblance, an obsessive worker to the point of exhaustion. At Isabel, melancholy alternates with wandering drunkenness. From the 1930s to the end of the century, such is the destiny of this passionate trio, of unprecedented extravagance, sharing a radical aesthetic revolution and an overwhelming complicity. --Publisher's website.
