Catalogue Note
'I have always believed that I painted ordinary people. There were no rich people then [in Soviet times], you have forgotten it already... There was party nomenclature. But these people did not ride trolleybuses. And I had nothing in common with them.' (quoted in Semyon Faibisovich. Everything is on Sale. Comeback, Moscow, 2008, p.12).
