And yet another is already a mature artist colleague once said: "unsigned painting, an unfinished painting. Made this for him, this phrase seems that once tore all to sign. Even long sold gladly signed and now calls himself a "fool" for unsigned work.

How true! Thank you, Kirill.

Do not want to be ironic, but I feel not help myself, sorry: shy:: years of some sort through ten of some wise man, doubted the provenance, will carry a picture, for example, Grabar. And there it will please: Signature made much later than most paintings. And the conclusion is ...

Or maybe an artist creating a painting, internally resisted termination status? Psychologically, he is not comfortable: as long as something is not signed, it is still part of the author, the author has not yet separated from their child, and the signature as a "cut the umbilical cord and sent the creation of an independent life.
