  • Memories of the artist:

  • "... He was such a tyukhtey, most often he sat with his head down and was silent. Something mumbles or laughs hoarsely - and is silent again. A sullen face, as if sleepy, wrinkled. He seemed much older than he really was. Never you will see him combed, you can’t put your teeth in, as if you had already given up on everything and on yourself for a long time. "maybe. The eyes are alive, young, the gaze is piercing, tenacious, and the movements are light, fast - well, you don’t recognize! He became simply beautiful. If someone asked me what inspiration might look like, I would probably immediately see Mikhail Filippovich in his memory at work…" - Stefania Staniouta

  • "For the first time, the art historian Viktor Shmatov spoke in more or less detail about Mikhail Filipovich in his small monograph, published in 1971 by the Science and Technology publishing house. And although it is not without flaws, especially in assessing certain artistic phenomena of that time, the author nevertheless managed to report on the main milestones in the life and work of the outstanding son of the Belarusian people" - Boris Krepko
