1. Why is your gallery moved to the "Winery"?
   I am close to those modern art galleries, which are open. Like the atmosphere, the development program Vinzavod and the audience, which here goes. This is my favorite audience: young people interested in art. Collectors, with whom we communicate, have more adults turn out to be useful in another context, more democratic, not bourgeois Moscow environment.

The new project gallery Proun put together a series of well-known graphic artist Paris french school Jules Pascin (1885-1930), and French nineteenth-century erotic photographs from private collections in Russia and France. All this is complemented by more touching panties and combinations of the century. In all this porn has never seemed, in general, produces a nice impression, but the principle on which the exhibition organizers have decided to combine these three elements: graphics, photography, underwear - is unclear.
It is clear that the first photographers working in the genre of erotic photos of the last third of the XIX century, in every way follow the traditions of the picturesque images of nature. So the most popular stories - "The Three Graces" and "Venus in front of the mirror. Also, photos of the 1860's often slightly colored by hand, which gave them even more "painterly"
But there can trace a direct relationship with the salon painting at the turn of centuries and photography, but the schedule Jules Pascin, it is quite another story. His graphic art series continues a long tradition of erotic drawings, reaching more of the gallant century. Of recent predecessors - especially comes to mind a series of Toulouse-Lautrec, depicting the life of brothels. From Russian is a little later did Boris Grigoriev.
With a photograph, as with the salon paintings - they have little in common: a different view, other perspectives, other means of expression. They do not shameless - is commonplace. And at the same time, they do not have a photographic "tortured", but there is life. In general, the background graphics Pascin picture, in my opinion, proigravyaet - it is incredibly boring. And in turn, figures as a little pathos meet title of the exhibition "Intimacy offer" ...

Jules Paskin as if looked at everything through a distorting mirror: women in his paintings are imperfect, often almost ugly, but they excite, as exciting life and vice. Malovyrazitelnye person live masterfully etched movements of bodies, precision transmission lines, almost frightening in its photographic truthfulness disproportionality. But the amazing thing - that the average person calls debauchery at Pascin becomes calm and commonplace.

In any case, look at it curiously.
