The Artist Must Train Not Only His

Every Artist, As Child Of His Age, Is Impelled To Express The Spirit Of His Age.

Art Is Not Vague Production, Transitory And Isolated, But A Power Which Must Be Directed To The Improvement And Refinement Of The Human Soul.

I Let Myself Go. I Thought Little Of The Houses And Trees, But Applied Colour Stripes And Spots To The Canva... Within Me Sounded The Memory Of Early Evening In Moscow, Before My Eyes Was The Strong, Colour-saturated Scale Of The Munich Light And Atmosphere, Which Thundered Deeply In The Shadows.

There Is No Must In Art Because Art Is Free.

The Artist Is Not A 'sunday Child' For Whom Everything Immediately Succeeds. He Does Not Have The Right To Live Without Duty. The Task That Is Assigned To Him Is Painful, It Is A Heavy Cross For Him To Bear.
