Damien Hirst: "It is much harder to create a good product when you have money. When you do not, you become much more inventive, that showed Van Gogh."
Andrei Konchalovsky: "The world came to tough market relations. Unfortunately, the art has turned into a commodity to commodity. Throughout the world, the art becomes a matter of fashion rather than question the relationship of personality to the world, her search for answers to life's questions. The audience goes to exhibition in order to boast of, not to admire some pickled shark by Damien Hirst, God forbid, to see her in a terrible dream. A man reads a book, because the mass media are told: it must be read. The music has ceased to be music to the ears and became the music for the feet. How long have you listened to a contemporary symphony of talent? "A modern opera listen - your ears wilt. But that's okay, because Western civilization is coming to an end. We omit in the era of barbarism, when people can spend millions of dollars on a pickled shark .
"A generation of people who went to the museums to enjoy art without asking how much it costs, is over. We are the last. Next generation primarily interested in - how much it costs. The museums of contemporary art exhibits can be worth 10-15 million dollars , but no artistic value, they do not have. When I see works of Andy Warhol paintings in the museum are exhibited, along with Michelangelo, I am simply ashamed. In order to understand that the work of Warhol - not art, do not need long to think. It's not an artist, he he has not done anything with his hands. Just call and order the thing to do. All of his work - punching. All that is gone, signed by Andy Warhol, produced the others. His work can be called a design, but no paintings.
To draw a "black box" Excellence is not necessary, needed just an idea. Technology has left the art. The main value of art was not the beauty and the scandal. Many contemporary artists do not know how to draw. Someone from the creators of modern oppression hands boards and pieces of iron. But the so-called conceptual art does not express that to me in art - the main thing. For me art is important to express the sensual pleasure of seeing forms of nature. Painting - a sensual pleasure from the beauty. What's more important - individual vision, the understanding that no one else sees, will do. Marinate the shark, or take a picture of Marilyn Monroe may be arbitrary. This concept, which is presented as art, but it's not art. A huge amount of money to pay for such concepts are very cunning dealers, taking advantage of darkness and ignorance of modern capitalist class. "
