Seriously ...
One can imagine the level of the event.

I was at the Jubilee Kandinsky exhibition at the Tretyakov in the Crimean. Very good. A ballet to music by Alfred Schnittke. Schnittke himself some time attended. And now I have a real opportunity to see Kandinsky in Paris. It would be bad.

Today, defended hour turn, came to this great event. I always loved this wizard, but now it has become clear that he was the forerunner of all the innovative trends of art of the twentieth century, not to mention the modern. And Miro and Leger, and Dali, all do not list, picked up and began to develop his ideas. Moreover, it is interesting: he has, I would highlight four peak years - 1908, 1913, 1921 and 1934, each of these peaks he achieved the culmination of another incarnation of his idea, and then abruptly changed direction, then again several years of searching, the next peak, and more turn. If forumchan will be interested in this topic, I will be able later to back up their impressions of illustrative material, because I'm taking home a wonderful exhibition catalog.

It would be nice to see.

I'm on the subject was history and it is with Kandinsky. The exhibition catalog is not able to buy, asked to send mail. A month later received, but did not know no one works. Delight in the exhibition and frustration in the directory.
Bouquet of wild flowers on your desk and the same bunch of photos of excellent quality.
All the same, everything is beautiful, but in the second case there is no smell of flowering plants.
Yet we wait for photo essay.

very interesting to see ... especially the peak of ...

Now on the channel "Culture" does not miss, who are interested:

Actually, what is good bespredmetka - where everyone sees her. And, unlike realism, the same job depending on the mood looks different. Well, it's better, worse, decide for yourself.

qwerty and what the audience's reaction (if you can describe it?)

I was reminded of Marc Chagall exhibition in Paris in 2003., also defended the huge queue, all the halls were crowded and there in front of a picture was a lot of people, something they're trying to make out with reverence:
the picture was painted in a provincial town, a fence and peasant spravlyayuschy need a fence, and wore a sign on the fence, which both tried to disassemble the French: "fool".

The people, as I wrote, it was a great deal, and very different: from London to the dandy rockers in leather with rivets, and some very bomzhevatogo types of personalities. The main difference from many other exhibitions that people were standing in front of pictures of a very long time, retreated, returned and again looked. So before I have one picture for an hour three times, met with a very touching pair - old man with, apparently, his wife in a wheelchair. And most of all liked the scene: in front of one "Improvisation" lay on the floor about seven-year Negro and something deliriously imagined a little album, constantly looking at Kandinsky. I walked over and looked into his little album, there was painted ... bunny!

For myself, has brought: if a painting "hold", not "let go", it means really. :)
Sometimes, even angry at myself. We must go further, there came something to work for a specific viewing specific, but still, as you go past Larionov, for example, or Goncharova, ostonavlivaeshsya, worth a look. A hundred times already this soldier saw or a landscape. : D

        Well written, as many a tear knocks! Not clear, Kirill, what have you for this work: walk past the "present" for "specific view an individual? What is it you are "browsing" "concrete"? That "real", which you are viewing, whether it is present in contrast to the "real", by which you go to him? And let me give you some advice, instead of being angry, is not it better to choose another route and not go past the "Larionov, for example, or Goncharova," and go straight to the "specific"? Because it is clear that if "a hundred times" "stop, stand and watch" for "soldier" or "this landscape in an effort to" specific "inevitably comes frustration, grow in an uncontrolled aggression.

I can not pass. ;)
You, I realized in those places is not a frequent visitor ... And I would have immediately understood everything about my trip. : D
