Draftsman quotes
" All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure. "

Alberto Giacometti
" 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
" 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
" 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
" Basically, I no longer work for anything but the sensation I have while working. "

Alberto Giacometti
" I don't know if I work in order to do something, or in order to know why I can't do what I want to do. "

Alberto Giacometti
" I paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality... to protect myself. "

Alberto Giacometti
" I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand. "

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
" 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? "

Alberto Giacometti
" If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all. "

Alberto Giacometti
" In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession. "

Alberto Giacometti
" 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
" It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see. "

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
