I propose to admire more and earlier (1904-05gg) works P. Filonov.

A few works.

we had somewhere on the site have already discussed (http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showth...light =???????)

my favorite painting, perhaps, "Feast of Kings" ... do not understand how it could create a man ...

The most striking thing that a man of such immense talent sincerely believed that all his works should remain his wonderful country. At that time, as in the USSR was a struggle with the avant-garde and prochemi formalists, he created his brilliant works, flatly refusing to sell anything. Not having any show, no recognition, no money, he was absolutely sure that his descendants will appreciate. And so he died of hunger in this confidence.

Today, well aware that in private collections there are only 42risunka Filonov.

Many geniuses are aware of his genius, but for them it is the townsfolk feel almost crazy.

nikola, Matyushin worth.
Yes, the company is cool ...

And why is it amazing? As he left, so we left it in Russia? He loved his homeland and wanted to be brilliant, philosophical, profound works left to us, their descendants. And it would be if everything was taken, or even part, we would have lost this invaluable, yet still not understood until the end ...

Yes, we could lose ... would be burned down in the late 40's and early 50's, during the struggle against formalism and did not know b Filonova ... As we do not know, I'm sure many things Malevich, Popova, Rozanova ... Cluny, yes the same Matyushina with Guro!

It is amazing because it had all been ordered to line up, any free-thinking eradicated, it was clear that the proletarian homeland is all totally unnecessary. Right above Cyril wrote: It was destroyed so much, not only works, but their creators. It is amazing that in such circumstances, people in general continues to create. Generally speaking, I do not recall another such case: that the artist did not sell nothing for the sake of some mythical descendants.

"By working exclusively as a researcher, I do not sell their work, whatever it may cost me, and the bank, wanting to give all of his work of the Party and the Soviet Union and make them his own museum, because these things are an exceptional phenomenon in the world of art "from the diary Filonov, 1932.

"My things are the most interesting moment in the whole world of art ..." ibid, nov. 1932. (reply F. Grabar)

Filonov wanted to make a museum of art analysis of his paintings and paintings of his students (in the statute were MAI items on the ban on the sale of paintings team members). In this museum, he wanted to convey to all of his "revolution in art, he discovered new ways of creative thinking.

After the death of Filonova in 1941. his work (over 400) kept his sister EN Glebova, until 1977. When she gave her brother at the will of all the assembly of the Russian Museum "without the right to transfer or sale."

Interesting fact from the diary of the artist:

Diary. 1934
July 13. Took from the Russian [museum] 15 of his works that were in Moscow at the exhibition "15 years of Soviet art. One of these works, "The man in the world", I returned in the following way: the picture (it was written in oil on a whole sheet of paper Alexandrian) was torn in two, and one half to two. Instead I got the whole picture, therefore, three separate pieces.
Considering the persecution of my art, when the beaters increasingly nagleyut feeling of impunity for any meanness towards me, of course, is useless anywhere to complain or to make any protest in this case.
The guard of the Russian Museum - Hercules Novomlinsky, getting things in Moscow, handing them to me and said that someone from the administration of the exhibition - a woman - her name he did not name, told him when depositing things in Moscow: "The thing is broken by accident. We can restore it. For damage Filonov, if they wish, may receive a monetary reward.
Tear the thing in half and again in half - reactionary bastard calls the "unexpectedness".
