More quotes by Alberto Giacometti
The older I grow, the more I find myself alone.
Alberto Giacometti
If we master a bit of drawing, everything else is possible.
Alberto Giacometti
Taste for things of the past evolves, doesn't it? What was a masterpiece a hundred years ago is no longer so today.
Alberto Giacometti
I don't know who I am or who I was. I know it less than ever. I do and I don't identify myself with myself. Everything is totally contradictory, but maybe I have remained exactly as I was as a small boy of twelve.
Alberto Giacometti
If the glass there in front of me astounds me more than all the glasses I've seen in painting, and if I even think that the greatest architectural wonder of the world couldn't affect me more than this glass, it's really not worth while going to the Indies to see some temple or other when I have as much and more right in front of me.
Alberto Giacometti
The one thing that fills me with enthusiasm is to try, despite everything, to get nearer to those visions that seem so hard to express.
Alberto Giacometti
Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.
Alberto Giacometti
The form is always the measure of the obsession.
Alberto Giacometti
Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to rediscover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me (often without my knowing it).
Alberto Giacometti
I've tried doing so, for it was never my intention to paint only with gray. But in the course of my work I have eliminated one color after another, and what has remained is gray, gray, gray!
Alberto Giacometti
In a fire, between a Rembrandt and a cat, I would save the cat.
Alberto Giacometti
It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.
Alberto Giacometti
When I make my drawings... the path traced by my pencil on the sheet of paper is, to some extent, analogous to the gesture of a man groping his way in the darkness.
Alberto Giacometti
If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldnt have to paint at all.
Alberto Giacometti
It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
Alberto Giacometti
All the art of the past rises up before me, the art of all ages and all civilizations, everything becomes simultaneous, as if space had replaced time. Memories of works of art blend with affective memories, with my work, with my whole life.
Alberto Giacometti
I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.
Alberto Giacometti
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
Alberto Giacometti
The head is what matters. The rest of the body plays the part of antennae making life possible for people and life itself is inside the skull.
Alberto Giacometti
At first, one sees the person who is modelling but little by little, all of the possible sculptures that could be made come between artist and model.
