That's an idiotic statement, the French art critic Olivier Sung: .. "As for Russian art, it stopped at the construction Tatlin, from 30-ies it is not.
  This position is distinguished qwerty, I personally do not agree with it and keep writing about it.
Cyril Syzransky, it is not in the Soviet painting.

And what? I do not understand what they mean.

Eugene, Socialist Realism, in fact, only in Russia is interesting.
Is it not so?

The theme for a very serious conversation. Russian art has always been under the influence of various schools and trends of Western culture. And not when did not have deep national roots, as it was in ancient Greece or in the eastern countries - Japan and China. Masterpieces of iconography can be attributed to the Russian culture, but rather will be to the Byzantine. And if we can proudly talk about the influence of Tchaikovsky's music, literature, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, in cultural processes around the world, the masters of this art can be said. It certainly does not prevent us from talking about the skill and spiritual works of Repin and Korovin. But should accept the fact that in Russia are growing birch, olive trees in Greece, in Japan, the celestial beauty of sakura

What is the difference that is shown, above all as it is made. What bad Lenin and Brodsky? Where will the new names? otduda Okuda appeared old. Just from a powerful layer of the work of artists, as chosen here are fond of saying good things, but real zabrakovyvyli like garbage, so when they rasskroyut this garbage, there would be found and new names and old, but not in other works. The fact is that those who decry this period, just not seen the work of these artists, and before their eyes should dorosti.

Tchaikovsky, Dostoevsky, Chekhov ...
nikola, melody of Russian songs - from the Tatar raspevnosti, Russian dumplings - from China, the dolls - from Japan, all this is true, but you forget about Malevich and those who are called "Russian avant-garde."

I tried proud Malevich and other names in Germany, received a reply, "And that Kiev is it is in Russia?" But Kandinsky for the Germans a long time German artist who was educated in another country. That's such a sad story here.

Kazimir Malevich was born February 11, 1878 in Kiev. His father worked at the sugar factories, which were usually built in the wilderness. So in 1890 the family moved to the village Parhomivka, which was located near the Be-lopolya, and then to Volchok. In Parhomivka Casimir graduated five-class agricultural school, and enthusiastically helped the peasants to paint oven, he drew, he considered no worse than the artists in the magazines .....

...........

Certainly should gorditssya its artists, many of them and left because that was brewing and then suffered a soc. Realism ...

Suddenly only happens .......... all the good that was there could not disappear.

nikola, speaking about "our, your, recall the statement B. Nepomnyashiy (and, for some reason agreed with him):" "Russian brains" - it is not a biological concept, and humanitarian. "
... And, certainly, not geographical. 8)
