Mistrust of the Internet
 

We have Artinvestment.ru August 25 a seminar on "Promotion of the artist on art market." Among others, was such a question - "Here I am an artist (representative of the artist) that I do right now, where to start?" I answered them sincerely - Put your work on our website, give comments and if the pictures are good /talented (and this is important) - they will be noticed. This is my advice, was perceived not to cheer, but in vain.

Perhaps this has its own reasons ...? do you think - what?

The question is addressed not to me but still I say: Maybe because many people think that there is a sequence of steps, having made that you must wake up "rich and famous and those steps have some secret knowledge, which is necessary to ferret out the secret. So simple and obvious tips are perceived as an attempt to hide something important, and of course, not "to cheer.

Yes it is a good question. Not listed in order of importance, as well as come to mind.
- Mistrust of the Internet.
- Inability to use it, many can not register, but here in the profile to start the album ...
- I think that this is something worth
- Too easy (Tasha law), may be tried on other sites and do not get the effect disappointed.
- Pick the wrong answer, go back and type it, say from Ivan Ivanovich ... There will exhibit paintings and they will immediately become known to all.

But the way the issue to forumcanam, where the network tried to post their pictures and with what result.

I'm afraid to make a mistake in the details but in general - a Russian artist of "walking" on the internet came upon the site of some kind of art contest in China - to his surprise he found that the winner of this contest was his picture but the Chinese name of the author.
Russian painter found in nature and the possibilities for action and sued the plagiarism-Chinese student who has decided to make a name someone else's pictures.
  I think the flood of Chinese (and not just Chinese) thieves - one of the causes of mistrust to the Internet.

From personal experience - about a year ago (or slightly more) - posted on ARTNOW other paintings - the artist. some time later found a picture of another "artist" with a stunning arrogance sketched a picture of my druga.Kogda turned to him for "an account of the work has been done" - in response to some insults rained ....
I am certain that many such examples and plagiarism is not always people with a lack of talent, whose pictures remain undetected - with their "light hand" real author would be hard to prove his authorship and the pleasure that does not work.

Little secrets and subtleties are all .... :)

I think so ......

I was also the case when I discovered on an American site proposal to implement in different sizes, depending on the payment, my father's work, placed in 2001 on the Internet.
Now the real work of a respected corporate collections in Russia.

What the picture. It is interesting that it should rubbings.
I somehow making the photo report from CHA, and bumping to ban pictures of paintings of contemporary artist - was surprised, and began to poke about - why? The answer was exactly this - they say what the new series (almost like in fashion - a new collection), and do not want to then stole plagiatchiki. And the images at the same time were quite common, why they should have nakinutsya I do not understand. And most importantly still do not keep an eye on the exhibition, who badly need - take off.

I think I approach to answering the question with which I recently took a:) a couple of weeks ago, traveling under one of the Golden Ring cities, met with a fairly well known for there the standards of the artist (one of the purposes of travel was to meet him and purchase his work) . An elderly man, very nice and quiet, has led me to a place where it is stored pictures - dozens of pictures. On the way, explained that he recently had to move out of the studio, where he worked for many years. We went into the lobby - so I knew the back door of the office, in general, narrow hallway, where he stayed only a corridor, and all crammed with paintings. Greeted us with an incomprehensible woman who asked the first thing "Girls, are you from?" (I was with my sister, the girls of 35 years): D. This was followed by demands to present a passport, for lack onogo - give at least a business card (all in an insulting form). Then he raced some much does blizzard with tips artist is nothing we will not show because "they buy, as I see, is not collected. And if you get together, we are with them will first enter into a contract ".... and so on, stressing the fact that she (the aunt), and the prosecutor intended to take care of the copyright of the artist. And yet the artist has a wife - zam.prokurora, in general, all purchases only with the conclusion of the contract!
I apologize for remarks not related to the topic! If necessary, I'll create a new one. Show you whether this practice - to conclude a contract with an artist?
I sincerely wish Natalie Kaspirovich to sell the exhibited paintings!

I think the discussion has developed into the theme of "Sell pictures ....." Can the administrator will transfer some posts in the topic "Seminars .." or where it sees fit? I am very pleased to see in their theme all forumchan and all many thanks for your attention to me. Just the other it may be more convenient, and interesting topic could be more room to turn around. I would be glad if the discussion continues!: Shy:

Is well known - smoke without fire and with caution artists of course, also have their own, valid reasons.
In response to your question Konstantin I say - my friend had stolen the plot but more than distribute this will not - no consent of the artist.
I will give another illustrative example of the so-as a personal practice - without naming names.
I liked the work of one artist - a woman (with whom I am well-acquainted personally), and which now lives and exhibits in London.
Liked her paintings but I've discovered for myself creativity Ben Hashanah (read I agree with him very late) and terrible (for me anyway) the truth emerged. Below I attach a picture of Ben Hashanah and this woman to compare and you will understand what and how to steal unscrupulous "artists" whose art is "all-only business and nothing personal."
I'll take a picture of the day 2 - do not want to be even an indirect cause of the deterioration of its "career" - that life will put everything in its place.
So, as you see, steal everything - ideas, style, composition ..... which is almost all of what is and is an artist:)

  This is for you, they are "normal" and may for many but not for the artist and the who cares about his promotion. If-the artist can determine for themselves their level - then taken away, would have the history of time and hard work:)

I am more than confident that a lot of similar examples, and would be nice for something to all this was discussed in a separate topic.

Ninni, Thank you! With me were similar istorii.Moi friends (now former) tried to work "a la Lucy." Disgusting that were included in the trust, close terlis.Hodyat and declares themselves my friends.
Friends, I have enough! Continuing work on opening days and so I go often to invite me very rarely, only for cause and for a short vremya.Truzhus!
What's happening in the Internet do not know, yet nobody noticed.
Thank you for having opened this temu.Vremya, of course all will judge, but the thieves have oglashat.Spasibo!

Such stories are common unfortunately. I hope you it does not threaten - your style is firmly entrenched behind you and all copyists will remain at the bottom.

Well in my paintings are different.

Honestly do not even know that you answer this ...... : shy:
Apparently someone like ....

The line between plagiarism and citation is very thin. Perhaps this woman is strongly influenced by Ben Hashanah. Personally, I like to find in the paintings of subtle allusions to predshestvennnikov - so the artist can sometimes be better to bring their thoughts to the audience. It's all relative.
On the other hand, the emergence of a copyist and parodists should rejoice - fame!

And much like the Internet to do with it. Can not previously plagiarism? Yes, it used to be difficult, it was required to go to the exhibition, to tear his body from the chair. Now much easier - many draw inexhaustible knowledge of the global network, forgetting that it's only a weak copy of the true knowledge. This is especially true of paintings, which make a good photo can only professionals. And a copy placed in the Internet, is a weak reflection of the original.
