Jean-Maxime Relange taught painting with the guideline “paint what you see”, considering that painting must remain simple, but that simplicity can only exist with interior complexity. Painting should be for him the reflection of the temperament and individuality of its creator, who must have the courage to face the isolation and loneliness of his studio.
