The totalitarianism and Pluralism
( in the art and in life)

In the 20th century, the painter tried to get rid of everyone and everything and go not that way but another. Then by the same way followed the all .
These ways have changed a names - the socialism, fascism , capitalism .
They changed the colors - just socialism and the "socialism with a human face", fascism of different nations ; capitalism also at the different times had their nuances .
It was the much talking about pluralism , but actually it has not existing. There were several parties and groups , but almost always has been leading the only one - the dominant .
The situation was the same, regardless of the country and the political system .
The same was in the arts .
Some of the styles became overwhelmingly dominant .
Sometimes , one of them was declared as the "degenerative ", sometimes as a "socialistic" , but basically , their dominance arose spontaneously and automatically.
Paradoxically, but proclaiming for the "pluralism" and "freedom" , the people of the 20th century were bound of some invisible totalitarian chain.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that of this time people abandoned their inner world and became the "formal" ; superficial, outward-oriented, oriented for the other .
As an illustration of this is the formation of the modern international art market . Affects the total lack of independence of all its participants .
It is in fact, a vicious circle : the " leading " gallery look for the big bankers , the ones on the state museums , which , in turn , listen for the critics and the elite . And critics and the elite form their opinions , again, looking for the exhibition of "leading" gallery.
This circle resembles a wheel that is hanging in the air . With the rapid rotation have not traffic , the complete stagnation !
In this situation , almost all the money spent on the arts , go on for of a priori dubious product . ( There will be appropriate saying " too many cooks spoil the broth ").
But time can not be stopped . Society is on the verge of the new cycle of a public moods . Mankind comes to understanding for the "united world" .
Where the trouble and joy of others , belong to this world , and therefore for you personally .
Where your attitude for of everything is not the "formally" and impersonal but "real" and weighty.
Perhaps in this new , the balanced and unified world people will feel oneself more significant person .
Respecting yourself and esteeming the others they will express theirself opinion , not looking at others.
And it is a precondition for a pluralism .
Not the formal , but genuine .
