Owner Review: Ochs Und Junior Selene Tinta

Picasso was once asked why he was charging so much for a painting that took 30 seconds to make. Picasso replied, “you are wrong – it took me 40 years.” Dr. Ludwig Oeschlin, the inventor of Ochs und Junior’s designs is a practitioner of radical simplification in this vein.
