This article explores a critical reevaluation of Alberto Giacometti’s career, specifically focusing on the decade between 1935 and 1945. While Giacometti is globally recognized for his spindly, post-war 'Existentialist' figures, art historian Joanna Fiduccia’s new book, *Figures of Crisis*, argues that his mid-career departure from Surrealism to study human likeness was not a mere transition but a profound response to the political crises and nationalism of interwar France.

the detroit museum of arts confronts art history while wrestling with its future 1234762292

The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has reinstalled its African American galleries, moving them from the back of the museum to a prominent location beside Diego Rivera's iconic "Detroit Industry Murals" (1932–33). The reinstallation is framed by a quote from Alain Locke's 1925 essay "The Legacy of the Ancestral Arts," envisioning the museum as an instrument of cultural education and repair. Complementing this is "Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation" (through April 5), the first comprehensive survey of art from the Indigenous inhabitants of the Great Lakes region. The DIA began collecting African American art in 1943 and in 2001 became the first US museum to name a curator devoted to that field, Valerie J. Mercer, who still serves as curator and head of African American art.
