"Masterpieces" from the garbage
 

I wanted to call the theme of the next topic symmetrically flea markets - " Walking the dumps ," but in this particular case, the search targeted actions "masterpieces" have been taken.
His mother took out the garbage in Kiev , I saw a picture of discarded , brought - usual amateur birches in autumn hardboard 25h60 . She had brought some paintings, terrible ... I just attributed back .
Lay these birches in the corner and there was a work subconsciously in the brain , some strange and birch color. I flipped the picture, there is an inscription
"With deep gratitude! In memory of members of the choir Vydubychi during the 4th World Symposium of Choral Singing in Sydney, Australia , under the patronage ... Away from the concert in Adelaide in 1996 by Vasily G. M. Kowalski, with his family. " in Ukrainian ..
Damn , it's not the birches , and baobabs some on the prairies ! Immediately and the signature on the Latin -V. Hot.
 Tell someone that the garbage in Kiev you can find an Australian painting , because no one would believe ! :-)

Indeed, only what happens in my life!
Although the history behind all this seems, alas, a long and very sad.

For debates, whether thrown by Van Gogh painting in the trash?

The answer in the book, yes.
In 1886, when his mother and sister once again perezzhaet (often perezzhaet) they got rid of the paintings of Vincent, 70 paintings were bought for pennies junkman, and the rest thrown away or burned.

No, Van Gogh was not there with it. It occurred to me that, apparently, a young man with the choir came to Australia. After the speech, he met with Ukrainians living there for many years - who knows what the wind has brought them there, and there - maybe their parents or even grandparents or great-grandparents after the revolution, war, or even why! Maybe it just came to speak, listen to native songs and native language, can, and participated in organizing the festival. Touched, gave the singer a picture - and it is inscribed in Ukrainian, not in English, not in Russian, but on the native language, which tried so hard not to forget! And after 15 years, the picture was on the trash heap - is likely to die holder and the heirs of the pragmatic "peyzazhik" not useful - it seems that the memory of the old man, they are unlikely to be stored. But how many people cherish the ridiculous, useless products just because they also associate them with departed loved ones. Here, it seems, is not the case.

And here's another that I found:

You know, Seriy, I probably would have called back and asked them to pick up this thing.

As they did not like these women .

In any , even the most laid nevazhnetskoy picture of the man himself than in his things , clothes, more than in the photos. Relatives will feel it on the " molecular level ".

Allena, thanks for the info. If a reference will find their phone , then call you when I am in Kiev, and will report the result of clicking the link above .

Peace, his father was svyaschenosluzhitelem , the family of constant - perezdah to appoint . Paintings by Van Gogh did not represent any value, but there were hundreds of places to store them ? Just imagine that they could not possibly afford. Believe in the great future developments do not sell a single painting? From the psychiatric hospital in a psychiatric hospital, Avera citizens (? ) Have signed a petition to the Van Gogh ( with the city the nickname " crazy redhead ") again put in a mental hospital - this is what they saw. No one could get along together, even with his brother.
 He produced them ( picture) - for example, in the past two months, 80 canvases 50x100 , t e every two months, we need a new room for storage.
But in the end it is the family , brother and sister- preserved heritage of humanity and told Vincent. Loved as we could.

And yet to decipher the recipient's name - "James G."
and the artist's "V. Hot.".
At least for the story.

Recipient, most likely, only in the chorus will call, and the artist can and look for it.

Burn the picture is not very profitable. Perhaps something has been bought beginners, rewritten and will eventually manifest itself , or found , as in this picture from the crumbling of "home " portrait emerged a different way (unfortunately, not Van Gogh ).

Peace, Since Vincent is clearly signed his work and soon became famous after 1886, it is likely to have surfaced at the same time, or where there is still enough of an early Van Gogh.
