Do not quite understand - my opinion about what you want to know?

Fed, in the lower price segment , up to $ 1,000 , to seek deeper meaning - why this work is sold ( sold) for 400 dollars, and that's for 500, not worth it, not in any deep sense. It is simply the price at which any work is sold oil on canvas . Below 10 thousand rubles IMHO or debris, or sketches pocherkushki something very small.

Gray and canvas-oil?

good artist.
Camoe it for gifts.



It is in what sense?

artcol, hardboard gradually went out of fashion , the price difference is less with the canvas , so I do not know . My own supply of clean hardboard reduced and I did not renew . Part hardboard hung canvas. IMHO, the canvas is gone , it is written only if you need a smooth surface.

If we talk about the West, where prices cotton canvas on a stretcher so low that the point in writing on other materials of saving none at all.
 I used to have a question about acrylic - with acrylic valued slightly less oil because of the reputation of acrylic as a material for better performance , fast drying, easy to rinse with it , te reputation paints for students. Unfortunately, we have sold acrylics, including imports, inferior oil for consistency. I wanted to drive straight from Berlin, acrylic box , but he was already covered in a landslide. A pigment in oil, acrylic , in one and the same. Moreover, I am now writing a little alkyd enamels, so there is also the same pigments, including alizarin ( krapplak ).

And I " Teapot with herring " liked . A decorative teapot. Flat. Hard. Correct.
Although no association picture with me and did not cause (well , except for associations rather unambiguous hints 's still life in the Petrov - Vodkin. Whom I breathe smoothly . Overall, how brilliantly told Wladzislaw - " Everyone wants to have a Modigliani" ).
In short , I would host the " Teapot with herring " hung .

And how can we explain unclaimed artist even at the price of the "lower " segment and at the same time when the auction price reaches tens of thousands of dollars? A special contingent of more auctions ?

And tough, not elastic ...

Reputable auction.

I wonder how would you say is the work of this kind ( Modigliani , Petrov- odkina , ETC , " where everyone wants to have ") .. Well, at the same time by their owners ...
" Modilyanutye " -? (Owners or work?)

THERE! (where the shoe pinches ! ) Thank you , dear! (this is how diamonds : in fish shops nobody needs , and specialized salon and demand , and the price !)

To complete the "affordable art" - some more work with Gelos of the same date, all below 10,000 r.
and a good-sized

nice work!
(And buy SIRENNNN!)

With bread good in principle work, but on the fan (bread).
But the question arises: why do it?

No gift, no interior ...

Work, I hardly dared to call it as (by them, without asking for my opinion , has been called :)).
But the owners , I would call the lucky man ! (And that , oddly enough , more true to the real owners of the Petrov - Vodkin ). Sit and look at the " Morning still life" of timing or " Still Life with a Samovar" from the National Gallery of Armenia ... (However, I would not mind , and from any other authentic work by Kuzma Sergeyevich. Though - "Girls on the Volga ," although the "sleep" , though " defect " or " Shah-i- Zinda ." To me - that no ... Do not let fate , I see . So - just " lucky man "!

Amateur, was not referring to the originals, but just "modilyanutye", ie
("Under Modigliani") :)

Amateur, like tea - buy! the price is very good!

Fed, and what to do with them ? all some random obscure work. Here, for example , I would have bought the work in their area , Fauvism, Russian avant-garde expressionism .. what? work on your topic , I can not see, and the ones that you feel good and cheap, I do not need .
Strictly speaking, therefore , they are cheap , they are not wanted.
