OUR PEOPLE
“Artists are witnesses of their times: they should not impose on the public their own view of society, their own understanding of human beings, or their own way to make decisions, but, after speaking their speech, having their say, giving their testimony, delivering to us the product of their art and their craft, they should help others to stimulate inside themselves the artist that lies within…”
