More quotes by Ralph Allen
The colors and creativity of our painters attracted me, but I remember that I was shocked by the lack of proportion.
Ralph Allen
Without a good cultural policy, without adequate help, we will always have individualists, shooting stars who are rapidly forgotten or who stop painting for a more profitable occupation.
Ralph Allen
I paint according to the moment and the theme. I don't have any prejudice. Life concerns me.
Ralph Allen

Ralph Allen
People are predominant in my paintings. Although they are not obvious, you can feel their presence.
Ralph Allen
