I think it just had a different picture of the world.

Sorry, do not get it what you ...

I clearly distinguish between the Soviet and Russian academics .

Who received the title in the USSR - the Soviet.
Who's zurabovskoy Academy - the Russian one.

And what of those who till the USSR?

You notice it right, Fantozzi. But if you know the source? Where, so to speak, "ears grow" from "severe style"?
Its "founder" is none other than an honorary member of the Academy of Arts of the USSR, Comrade. R.Guttuzo that "in complete informational isolation" rode on the brain "is completely izolirovannh" Soviet artists, so much so thoroughly that not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also in every district town had its own little "Guttuzenok" and reproductions Guttuso lay on all creative cottages on the most prominent places. Thus are born the "Styles" :)>
(Examples of works Guttuso not spread, anyone can verify this yourself).

I agree with Marusia.
The so-called socialist realism - is called the farm products of the USSR Union, produced by order of the cooperative under the name of the CPSU. And, like any mass production, it is faceless (as noted exactly Mann) and deadly monotonous. Then it was the same thing, what does now "otbeysboleny" Artoyla retired, with his "Negro", but the scale of it is clearly smaller.
You will not really invest in the products sold in the CHA? Even if the Chinese buy it? :)>
With it, you can do only what is done Samvel: buy nothing, to immediately sell a little more expensive. But investment is not relevant.
Therefore, investing in a kind of abstract "Soviet Art" - a dead thing. Need to invest in specific talented authors, buyout, of course, were, as in this "cooperative" and beyond. And it will be known in due course: Russian Art of the twentieth century. Without it - "social" or "non".

Agree with this , and with this
no.

About Guttuso and surstilya - it hvatnuli you , of course.

Yes. :)> Go to the Hermitage and at least try to find the names of rooms , then something like the word " realism ... ", "... style," and the like.
I do not hvatanul , I witness this , found yet. On this " horse " rode right up to the 80th year. A nekotrye have not climbed .

And remember the famous picture of Viktor Ivanov, " Cafe Greco - artists Korzhev G. , P. Ossowski, E. Zverkov , D. Žilina , Ivanov " from the Tretyakov Gallery , first shown at the All-Union Art Exhibition "Glory labor " in Moscow in 1976?
I do it when I see , I remember , " Cafe Greco" Guttuso, although I know two versions of his paintings.
But for Victor Ivanov also have the author's version of his café, his way, on Sovkome sold in 2006 for 39,000 USD.
But Viktor is also made ​​in the engraving option.
But his "Cafe Greco" is and at Tair Salakhov.
 
Homage to the teacher. :)>

1. Relatively Guttuso - this is normal . He was an Italian communist ( then there was a party ), and no wonder that his art was common in the Soviet Union. We all then went to the Hungarian bus, smoked Cuban cigarettes, etc. By the way, in the Pushkin Museum on the third floor of his large room with Armand , just below ekspressionisty.2 . If you remove from your monologue sample terms in August 1991 , then I'm about the same. Period - interesting , do not, can and should invest (in name and quality). Actually the debate began with the fact that this period was not available in Antique Salon . So where's the dog fumbled ? Criticism for the sake of criticism? ? Ata them ho ! !

At the same time remember UNOVIS.
About which just can not be said that this is not the direction.

Some participants, cost millions, others thousand 20.

But, nevertheless, UNOVIS UNOVISS ........

A socialist realism, even after 100 years, of course, not the same.
Whole.
