Quotes from others about the person
Ivan Chukhnov: "There is the highest courage for the artist - to be quiet, not to try to please at all costs, but to take care of one and the main thing - to express an understandable truth and seek it in his writings and thoughts all his life. And this ... all about him, about artist Shipunov."
