Thank you for your attention.

Thank you very much for creating this topic.
Just visiting this weekend at the Crimean Tretyakov, was depressed
exposure more than usual - from the halls Sovrem. Art removed a few of the sixties (I do not know, may have long) - Yankylevsky, drawings Kabakov, and this exposure has lost all meaning.

  But, as usual, was particularly upset by the ratio of T. Mavrina.
  3 pictures for the corner, in some sylno vygorozhennom, slice, poluzale.
  For me personally, Tatiana Mavrina not simply one of the favorite artists, but also particularly distinguished artist. Because (IMHO, IMHO)
namely, it has brought to our time (I mean, of course 60-80)
fire of this art of the early 20 th century.
  I would like to order for her paintings found a place and space are more worthy. Is the picture about Stalin and Voroshilov is more important?

Yesterday, one of the galleries admiring the drawings Mavrina.
