To create good things, do you have to learn to dream them? Robert Falk believed that this was a prerequisite for fine art. True, he did not like the term "fine art. He equated painting with architecture and sculpture with the plastic arts. Appreciated the so-called "inner material", or the "ability of the visual and plastic perception. The artist's worldview is well underlined in his portrait, painted by Elizaveta Potehina.
