"Driven out of their country, often sent to prison camps or psychiatric hospitals, the artists continue to create in spite of everything. Of course, they did not have enough information, they were not able to follow everything which took place, and often thought they discovered a new language and means of expression which [in fact] had already been discovered. In any case, even if the quality of the work is uneven, the art works represent the undefeatable vitality of the mind".
