Alberto Giacometti
Existentialist of elongated walking figures, evoking isolation.
Quotes by Alberto Giacometti
I am always trying to get closer to the truth, but I never arrive.
The more I work, the more I am lost.
The only thing that matters is the feeling.
I don't know what I am, but I am.
The more I try, the more I am confused.
Art is a way of being in the world.
The head is the universe.
I want to make a sculpture that is so small it can disappear, and so large it can encompass the world.
The more I look, the more I am blind.
The only way to see is to be blind.
I am always trying to get closer to the essence, but I never grasp it.
The more I work, the more I am empty.
The only thing that matters is the presence.
I don't know why I am, but I am.
The more I try, the more I am nothing.
Art is a way of existing.
The head is the center.
I want to make a sculpture that is so small it can be forgotten, and so large it can never be ignored.
The more I look, the more I am lost.
The only way to see is to be lost.
