[Тамара]

Rembrandt was a genius. Picasso's genius. And there's nothing to be done. Well, three or five geniuses can be found, and then continue to multiply their system as if a hand does not rise
          But the "artist, who during his career created a few things eternal charm, in my opinion, much more politically correct sounds.
