More quotes by Abdallah Benanteur

The painter is a man who lives intensely, who suffers intensely, who loves intensely.

For the painter, it is an imperious duty to turn toward life, to reestablish everywhere the perceptible current of beauty.

The artist has this vocation of truth, as do all other creators.

The painter is elected to incarnate human emotions.

The artist must remain free, free in his choice, free in his expression.
