Jacques Dupin and Alberto Giacometti met in 1954 ; the first exchange marked the beginning of a friendship that would last until the artist's death. This friendly relationship was marked by several collaborations, among them L'Épervier, four years after their first joint project, L'Art poétique (1956).
