"Kisling is a very modern painter with whom one can discuss art tendencies, but one cannot deny his compositional talent."

C. Marlot, "L'art polonais à Paris [in:] "La Pologne Politique, Economique, Litteraire et Artistique" 1920, No. 20, 15 XI, p 1248.

"Kisling puzzles with his immense psychological intensity (...). Expressionism and its derivations are already pleasing if only because they are charged with essential human life. (...) Kisling shocks in his canvases precisely with the intensity of this life and forces one to ruminate. (...) This also [flows] from the field of Jewish tragedy, from the field of that specific Jewish lyricism, the core of which is various fiorituras of Hasidic experiences, and the root - a certain song of despair, which transforms boundless despair into half-crazed merriment or mystical panache."

A. Luczarski according to "Polish art abroad. Lunaczarski on Kisling," [in:] "Wiadomości Literackie" 1927, no. 37, September 11
