Among Alberto Giacometti's (1901-1966) literary friendships, the one with Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) is not the best known, but it is one of the most enduring. It dates back to 1937 and developed in the post-war period. The two artists enjoyed spending endless evenings in the cafés of Montparnasse, then wandering Paris at night. Deep kinships brought together their plastic and theatrical works, at the crossroads of Existentialism, which were expressed in an exceptional collaboration in 1961: Giacometti's creation of a set for a production of the play Waiting for Godot.
