History of Art: Alberto Giacometti
"What I know, more than ever, is that the more I take away, the fatter it becomes. But why, I don't know yet. With the bust I'm doing now, I do nothing but take away, and it's so fat that I feel it must be twice as thick as it is. So, I've got to take away, take away, take away... And that's where I really get lost. As if the material itself had become an illusion." -- Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). Photo by Yousuf Karsh, 1965
