“Beauty has no other origin than the singular wound, different in every case, hidden or visible, which each man bears within himself, which he preserves, and into which he withdraws when he would quit the world for a temporary but authentic solitude.
Giacometti’s art seems to me determined to discover this secret wound in each being and even in each thing, in order for it to illuminate .”
