If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.
From 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.
It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.
It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
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.
That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.
The older I grow, the more I find myself alone.
