Unsolicited, but promised Hopper
 

Recently in my life somehow inexplicably constantly pops up the name of Hopper. I wanted to make a story, then thought, someone besides me - well, and even, say, two or three - it may be interested? and decided not to chirp. But today, looking at Wyeth, still put Hopper, one of the most expensive to me artists.

I think everyone knows his story, but in it, and there is nothing remarkable, so put it will not. Dame only one quotation, I think it is a lot that explains:
"The man - a stranger in my world. I never tried to portray the gestures of people, their facial expressions. The sunlight on the facade of the house - that's what I really wanted to write. "

Oh, and the last.

In the works of the artist's psycho-drama of loneliness.

The most expensive in the most literal sense, and works at auction rather rare. I am still amazed that prints of his works hung in the student dormitories in nearly every room. Here is a lifetime recognition.

Repeat publicly, etching with a pair in the car - wonderful!

As for prices, so listen to this story:

Pop came to the merchant, put him at the table, as usual, and on the table - pies, pickles yes, yes osetrinka, yes caviar.

Well, sir, and then began to knead caviar.
Merchant's wife suffered, endured, and then says:
-Father, and it's not mess!
- It is not like, - said my father with his mouth full.
-Father, and yet in the shop 8 rubles per pound paid!
- This article and for IT!

Understandably, or explain it again? :)

Yes, Liana, explain again, please, for the under-developed. Seriously.

The fact that the etching of which we spoke is worth several hundred thousand dollars.

Yes, a person's personal life just has not worked. And for me, gives a little comic.

Certainly, like Wyeth, Van Gogh, Soutine, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec .. Maybe because they have become an artist?
Here Tselkov, he only happy with his Antonina, not to mention the vast majority of Soviet academics, popular and highly respected, which, judging by their works, were supposed to dwell in perpetual nirvana.

So that justice, as always, is triumphant:)
