As the director Andrei Konchalovsky, he had more than one year wrote an article on contemporary culture, entitled "From the" Black Square "to the black hole."

Do not work for candy wrappers.
Be above that.
Refuse them.
Put your life in the end, for an alternative.

I think that capitalism is quite the opposite. Where the strong (in spirit) are dying, and the weak breed apart and wholesale. The new law of the jungle. Time, which is intolerable

For the brave and innocent

And cools rapidly

For physical beauty,

Worships language and forgives

All of who he is alive

Forgive cowardice, vanity,

Crowned their heads with laurel. W. Oden.

Yesterday an article appeared in the French magazine "Paris Match", entitled «MONET: L'ART N'EST PAS MORT» - «MONE: ART is not dead." http://www.parismatch.com/Culture-Ma...Palais-244845/

The huge success of the exhibition Monet at the Grand Palais in Paris, applying to visit it led to what the last few days show did not close the door even at night - worked around the clock! This has never happened!

For four months the exhibition was attended by almost 1 million people.

Can it happen that 10 of the lemons turn into. It's a risk and a game in which there are rules and not knowing the rules loses. These artists-risk investments.

Andrei Konchalovsky: "I am sad thoughts leads to" play on the strings of emptiness, "as Solzhenitsyn. He said:" Artistic value has been replaced by market value. "
Material well-being are much overtaken the spiritual development of mankind and threw back his back. "

Konchalovsky has criticized all the modern cultural life, especially contemporary art. According to him, "when you look at contemporary art, do not understand what the artist wanted to say. The art has disappeared as a way of expressing the beauty, and we came to the shares, installation and design."

According Konchalovsky, the art has evolved for centuries, changed shape, everything was fine, but suddenly, like my "runaway train", it went into the abyss. "

Strong spirit does not die and leave the world of the weak, prone to all sorts of passions.

Money is a reliable criterion for assessing quality. Mechanism itself quite complex, but reliable and accurate. All gradually fall into place, what will happen with sovemennym art. If we do not know understand modern art, just something that we pokazavayut, imposed for the assessment and so on.

Konchalovsky - jealous, petty people. To understand this, it is enough to read his memoirs. After them, I had the rare feeling of disgust, and the attitude to it once and forever changed. And he did not hesitate to talk about his foul and the like as repentant, but actually enjoys it, bathe in it. And if you remember how he envied the jeans, life abroad, foreign women, we can understand what is the underlying cause of his current high-sounding arguments about art. He again just jealous. Envies Hirst, Warhol. He has a "lack of conscience," even Malevich envy.

But then again the art of change. And the current "taburetochno-shark-design" in the history of dominance will only get better. Incidentally, the same Hearst Warhol Kabakov. But someone out there will not be exact, so it Andron Konchalovsky. Not given, sir. How many articles or write.

Ugh! The man, totally and completely sold art, who fled the country, where he had the opportunity to shoot and something to say (and this at a time!) Baryzhnichavshy black caviar, put a couple of mediocre Hollywood movies and slide to shooting his elderly (though pleasant) little woman as 20-year old girl, but would also chop off some money - and this man dares to say something about art?

"Jealous of Hearst ..?" Well, you said! What is there to envy? What a discovery: the stuffed fish in a preservative solution! Funny.

Andrei Konchalovsky - a figure of ambiguous, but he - the credibility of the international level.
The position expressed by Konchalovsky, is not new - so many people think. It's so obvious. But among spekulyanskogo rage and ignorance only person with authority, can be heard. And for this he took the risk. He was immediately started to defame.

Go to the person on your side - an expression of weakness, lack of real arguments. Nobody is perfect, even great men were wrong. But it is important that they have done - and then you can forgive a lot.

Your arguments are purely emotional, they do not affect the meaning of the problem. Konchalovsky, without passing on the personality, assesses the nature of what is happening. And to proclaim this position need honesty and courage.
