Alberto Giacometti
Image
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
Image
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
Failure is my best friend. If I succeeded, it would be like dying. Maybe worse.
Alberto Giacometti

Alberto Giacometti

Alberto Giacometti
Image
If we master a bit of drawing, everything else is possible.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
When I see a head from a great distance, it ceases to be a sphere and becomes an extreme confusion falling down into the abyss.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
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
Image
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.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
In the past I have never thought about loneliness when working, and I don't think about it now. Yet there must be a reason for the fact that so many people talk about it.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
In a fire, between a Rembrandt and a cat, I would save the cat.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
The form is always the measure of the obsession.
Alberto Giacometti
Image
If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color?
