I do not think about investing. I do not hope to profit. I want to be an artistic pleasure from the pictures.

It is interesting that after almost 8 months and nearly 300 video tape, no one caught me on a simple provocation. Thousands more watched the same information in a profile on pro Amer. painting.

    Look closely now number 7: Noerman "three colors at sunrise, 1968.

   Surname nothing like? 1968 - the year of my birth. But she "painting" made with "Photoshop" from a few blurry photos of wallpaper in my house. NOBODY protested for forgery. However, it looks bad compared to other works. Perhaps I should start calling yourself an artist?

   And so we call the American painting?!

I looked your name listed in the album, printed for the exhibition in 1994 in the Russian Museum.
Alas, most of the work to me either neutral or do not like. In Bulatov I see the poster, but not painting, collage Brusilovsky - even that the poster does not see. Perhaps it was cool 20-30 years ago. Repeat weak ideas Brusilovsky I myself, at a higher level (I have worked with advertising, I can dream). Nemukhin not happy about his sketches, as Yankilevsky.
Not mine. Only a few falls on the soul.
However, I will not do Zhesko prison - on one album is difficult to draw accurate conclusions.

PS
And did they all were once completely unknown names in 50-60-7 - years?

PPS

So what to do with Sutyagin? Buy?

One modern and not quite known masses of the artist we recently discussed: Sutyagin KV. It is several orders of magnitude less well known than Safronov. But he is clearly not suitable for the interior, and the museum looks very good.

If you buy such relatively inexpensive at the moment of artists - is it through the decades is itself not worth the risk?

Your opinion that we should spend money on now known artists, such as N. Safronov, Tsereteli? Or do not pay attention to such famous names?

I would not want to see in the future "Museum of Russia's art of the early 21 century" only work known Safronov, Tsereteli, Kulik ...

I'm talking about the moment - can be stupidly buy a collection of Faberge eggs or Rostropovich, and you can buy modern rosiyskuyu painting, even if not quite well-known artists. According to the laws of statistics, through the years and the first ten years in such a sample would be recognized as masterpieces.

PS Do not call to buy up everything. Doing what should be a choice, deliberately, not paying attention to the external effect and the name of the artist.

I can not properly judge the film without seeing the original.
Pictures can only make or not make me make effort to ensure, to see the original. Or recall the picture, previously seen.

Frankly, I put the level of popular Elchaninova an order of magnitude below the level of Distinguished Ionova. Since my wife is from Smolensk, I am perfectly familiar with all local artists. Their more than 150, of which 10%- quite on the level. And they know me - I'm the customer buys. Because I know how Elchaninov received titles. Was there before someone Namerovsky chairman, who finished the job, too popular and almost an academician. If you look at his work - frankly weak. So a broker friend. Previously, he drew large Elchaninov compilations cloth, unable to cope with the composition. Under the old age and became a master of bad draws from nature in the style of impressionism, if possible. But in general it is a good artist, for his work is not ashamed. It is clear to me he is not so close spiritually

And L. Komar I put above Elchaninova. I buy Ionova, Komar, Elchaninova and others for fun, not thinking about the potential increase in prices. After all, millions of artists and all mnyat The Napoleon. I just spend my money on hobbies. Someone buys a new Mercedes, and I - new paintings. Sometimes, over time, are very successful.

1) I have somewhere wrote about LA Komar, that is professional. Has higher artist. education, union member. I found it by accident last year at one union official exhibition.

2) You asked a question about a People's Artist of Russia in the style imperrionizma, which I bought the slack. This is not Ionov! Ionov - honored. This can show a good example of the difference in titles and talent. A popular name - Elchaninov. You did it know?
