“The more I work, the more I see things differently… everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful.”

Alberto Giacometti

“I don't want to be a prisoner of comfort.”

Alberto Giacometti

"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity."

Alberto Giacometti

"The more you fail, the more you succeed. It is only when everything is lost and - instead of giving up - you go on, that you experience the momentary prospect of some slight progress. Suddenly you have the feeling - be it an illusion or not - that something new has opened up."

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."
