Barvikha,
Barvikha
You should not be sad , thank you for your opinion.
AA Mylnikov Doggie VS Repin , and SN great artists, I learned from them . So he studied with Igor Kravtsov.
They all have their great aesthetic and creative world Vidin face.
But I do not assume any subject , no plastic, no style and aesthetics of these artists.
I am moving on their own.
Good or bad is another question.
Here are a couple of works of student time :

Seriy,
If you do not see annoying . :)>
Look always only on what you like.
Your question will try to answer .
I can not say for all the " this" painting . We understand the different painting altogether.
But my spell long , expensive and sold well .

I have many paintings in the museums of annoying, rather irritated . I at one time could not understand it.
Annoyed , for example, on the Crimean Goncharov same time , irritating and Larionov, many things that I already knew from reproductions in the literature, live irritated me .
And then I somehow entered into the nature of his irritation at these pictures : they would not let me ! And go something more was needed.
Well, now I have something really cope with this effect . :D>
But my annoyance of the painting of a different nature than that of Seriy- artist , I'm just a spectator , a consumer .

No offense.
Student work I like! And why, suddenly you decide to go back, in my opinion, you have everything to move forward!
Sincerely, Michael.

Also, pay attention to what we wanted to host the "Mecca" of Rome to see the sophisticated arts of the Italians: Soviet painters, DEINEKO!

Style of the demand for
 

In today's world do not buy style or manner of a product , ie a specific job . If the work is professional and interesting touches , it does not matter what style . Another thing that Impressionism and " pikassizm " has claimed the masses , so this is understandable , 50-100 years of propaganda ! A mature artist writes as consonant with his inner world at the moment and it can be any style (professional must master all styles)
And the fact that academic " dropped " - it's bad , but I think come the revival of interest ...

Alex Golovin, very glad that sells well!

Yes, I like painting is not interested. But in the forum, actively involved, so keep up the conversation and express their position, this is precisely what you requested, opening theme.
I can not put it clearly, but I think that it is not in the humor, pathos, or, or self-irony, or even in some mental ... matter as painting, drawing, light and color. This is annoying and, like similar to Caravaggio or Rubens, but for some reason are not happy JUST ... because it is not the same technical quality of the painting. That's it.
By the way, is far from obvious that the artists of the Renaissance would not want to write as flowery as Gauguin, Matisse, or, they simply did not have the technical capabilities. Cinnabar was from here was the abundance of red ocher were. A magenta pink, krapplaka, ultramarine, bright green and blue - was not. Yes, and a brighter red, cadmium, appeared in the late 19th century.
The downside of forced malohromnosti artist had to draw perfectly.
If you currently work in this style, then yes, you must comply with quality.

L-ana, the public lost interest in academicism in the mid-19th century, Impressionism - a response to public demand.

Brodsky also very interested in seeing.

And see, from October 10, Brodsky will be in Rome.

Seriy, so I noticed that you reduce everything to technique , technology, etc. This is, in principle , well on the one hand , but there are also other side - the artist's personality , his inner world , and his remarks on these topics in a format paintings. And I seen the other side of the primary first. I have in this post two comments opposing the assessment depending on the availability of discussion papers of the second, because the first - a craft in general, not more .

It seems that a very difficult art, but then it turns out that a lot of painting . So teach Glazunov and Surikovke to monumental . And if something a lot and it is all the same , and sung with the Italians , Caravaggio, then loses interest remains the only price . Commercial art is not art.
Sorry, you asked for opinions.

It is generally without comment.

Tovarisch hudozhnicheg, leave the audience alone, speak for themselves. The public (in large numbers) is going to look at Tintoretto, which hangs in the main pavilion at the Venice Biennale and her unaware that she had long to something "lukewarm", but Picasso's hanging there, and even those who work in style of Picasso, Van Gogh and the Fauves. Of course the public see the primitive, otherwise rushed to buy your creations for millions. But the artist works "not for critics, and on demand" , on the other hand, without criticism and the demand will be at the level of "look at what sells best on Artnau" . So before you make loud statements towards those who work in this style, which you do not get, even at high voltages of all the muscles, allow for a dilemma, what it is you never have enough attention to himself critics, serious public or the ability to draw, because for all the others present, the answer is obvious.

Apart from anything else out there (WB) and there was a picture in an ordinary hall. :D>

artcol, as opposed to technology, the identity of its artist can not change from picture to picture. That is, it is, and it is impossible to fix, I like this recently opened its point of view. Will not portray the depth of inner peace, if it is not.
Yes, the more one studies the great artists, the more you realize that without a rich vivid inner world can be a great painting.
 The fact is that not that great, just high-quality art in this little-we disagree with you.
Yes, for me it is very important scenic quality of the work. In Russia, there were many artists who, IMHO, do without the bright personal moment, but it did first-rate paintings, for example, Korovin, Serov, and yes, perhaps.
Although you can access from the other side and make a vivid personal painting, without looking at its picturesque quality. But something like this just can not remember an example ... Basquiat? No, it is worth on the achievements of American abstract expressionism, especially Rauschenberg, knowledgeable in color, interesting, boring composition. Warhol? Yes, all of the ideas, but technically flawless and his pictures look great, nowhere reproach.
Roughly speaking, if done in the rules, the boat will float. How far is it is close - it depends on the circumstances. If drawing, light, color, flawless, and then a picture with one apple will be pleased. It's like a advertisement in the metro-stops when a beautiful voice, diction, breathing, feeding, then they are encouraging.

Van Gogh are copied many times over the same plot, improved personal expression and originality of the topic? No, improved scenic quality, contrast, color combinations, graphic strokes.
