Restoration of the painting - the salvation or destruction?
 

Whatever feelings engulfed Titian or Leonardo, if they suddenly found themselves in one of the great art galleries today? Perhaps they initially would not know some of their works. And when, after tactful questioning, would admit them, first they would have been shocked, then outraged. They could probably understand the need to move their operations from the churches and palaces in art galleries. Sensible people, they would not be surprised that their paintings have suffered, going from hand to hand. They have a philosophical attitude to the tracks of time on the canvas and colorful layer, and with the darkening of varnish, they have encountered. But they would be horrified at how their works have suffered from human interference.
It was noted that there are two correct ways to ruin the picture: to restore it or restore. This dilemma is often justified. Strangely, there is scarcely any public debate about the restoration of paintings. The fact that almost no audible differences, should have alerted us. Emerging discussions impermanent, indecisive, and very few give information.

Mnenie neprofessionalov o restavratsii ne interesno, a professionalov malo.
Diskussi daze ob arte v tselom ne veliki. Kstati v mire sovsem nebol'shoe kolichestvo interesnyh i aktivnyh art forumov.

Repin, being in this situation, prudently prmolchal ... When he was "Ivan the Terrible" suffered at the hands of a madman merchant (the picture was, as you know, cut up in the worst places), Repin was invited to the Tretyakov Gallery, that he would restore. When the experts have seen the handiwork of his, they were horrified - already quite aged artist rewrote the face of Ivan the Terrible so that it was more like a caricature - an unnaturally bulging eyes, a strange expression on his face - a tragic terrible effect of the picture was lost. At the general council of the Tretyakov Gallery was decided to bring the best restorers, they are hidden from the artist, washed his ponovleniya and restored (restore) the original painting. When the picture put on display the public, Repin see the changes, prudently silent ...

Personally, I - for professional, thoughtful restoration. Moreover, our market has unfortunately not aware of conservation, such as in Italy, and the best to restore the thing, and then show the client.

Yesterday on TV-3 in the evening to repeat the remarkable documentary "The Assassination of Dana. Stories of restorers, who worked with her, there is a nearly half of the film. Recount will not - probably all have seen this tape, and more than once. But then, as they talked about their work and what they talk about it, is astonishing.

Allena, share, and then here I have not heard anything ...

Movies
 

Better look. There are a whole series of films about the restoration. Sometimes the show on channel Culture. usually the day or late at night on the First.
A couple of times accidentally falling on these films is very interesting and cognitive.

In my view should be possible to maintain and strengthen the author's coat of painting, without too much interference (dopisi, etc.).

Drug, "dopisi - toning done in the field of losses on the copyright layer of painting, after its consolidation.
Modern restoration has reached such heights (especially in Russia, we have the best restorers), that to deny her stupid ... Now museums restorers offer original 17 th century painting, washing away with it, and the 18th and 19th you can say "original" of the census, although in the centuries to "renew" the picture could very well-known masters ... and that save in these cases?

The Archangel Cathedral of the Kremlin kept the icon "The Trinity" mid-14 th century. So on this icon there is a later recording of the late 17 th century one of the king of painters, whose name is miraculously preserved, Tikhon Filateva - a talented master, very talented. Restorers have cleared the initial letter only on the face of one of the angels and on the face of Sarah. Stark contrast, but I am sure that in another way it can not do.

I agree with Eve. We must look, we should listen to yourself. Our movies are radically different from Western. Here we have to listen to every word, there is no repetition, as is usual in such programs, which are made in the U.S. or England. Told all that they said, is simply impossible.
However, decimeter channels, if it caught on for that, so then repeat 10 times. Try a search program, maybe lucky.

"Cultural" films
 

And where anything can be possible to buy these our films, which show on the culture? Nobody knows?
Is it possible to members of the forum on the rights of colleagues in the media to communicate with kulturovtsami "and such to distribute these films on the site - I'd love to buy everything!:)
