Alberto Giacometti

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

The more I work, the more I see.

The only thing that counts is the vision.

I don't know whether I work to live or live to work. The two are so intertwined.

The more I fail, the more I succeed.

Art is a means of understanding the world.

The head is all that matters.

I want to make a sculpture that is so small it can fit in a matchbox, and so large it can fill a room.

The more I look, the more I see.

The only way to see is to look.

I am always trying to get closer to reality, but I never succeed.

The more I work, the more I doubt.

The only thing that matters is the intensity of the vision.

I don't know what I am doing, but I am doing it.

The more I try, the more I fail.

Art is a way of seeing the world.

The head is everything.

I want to make a sculpture that is so small it can fit in my hand, and so large it can fill the sky.

The more I look, the less I see.

The only way to see is to close your eyes.
