Quotes from 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
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
~ Alberto Giacometti
Failure is my best friend. If I succeeded, it would be like dying. Maybe worse.
~ Alberto Giacometti
