Alberto Giacometti quotes about
Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to discover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me.
The form is always the measure of the obsession.
It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.
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.
