« Diego adopte la technique ancienne et noble du bronze dont il a la maîtrise à tous les stades de son élaboration, depuis les esquisses en plâtre jusqu’aux patines inégalées, sa marque et son secret. La texture entière de ses objets garde, après l’épreuve du feu, la flexion vive de doigts et chaque réplique a sa tonalité distincte. »
(Jean Leymarie cité dans D. Marchesseau, Diego Giacometti, Hermann, Paris, 1986, p. 24)
“Diego adopts the ancient and noble technique of bronze, which he masters at every stage of its creation, from plaster sketches
to unmatched patinas — his hallmark and his secret. The entire texture of his objects retains, after being tempered by fire, the
vivid imprint of his personal touch and each replica has its own distinct voice.”
