So much for the Chinese ... (EA)
---------------------------------
Work Chinese calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty era set a record price at auction in Beijing, reports Reuters. Painting artists in Binh entitled "Eighteen Arhat" was sold for 169.1 million yuan (24.8 million dollars), six times higher than the preliminary estimate.
The previous record price for the products of Chinese calligraphers, set painting Qu Ying "rollout of red rock", amounted to 10,7 million dollars and was beaten more than twice. Paintings from Binh collector purchased from Shanghai Liu Itsyan. As the agency that once belonged to the roll of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong, who ruled from 1736 to 1795.

"I think the classical art of China significantly underestimated in comparison with western paintings by Impressionists and contemporary artists such as Picasso and Renoir," - said the agency Lee Yes, auction house spokesman Poly International, carried out the bidding process. According to him, "only Chinese can fully appreciate the philosophy, spirit and historical significance of classical Chinese paintings.

At the auction also set a record for a classical Chinese calligraphy - the work of calligrapher Zeng Gouna, who lived during the Song Dynasty, was sold for 108.6 million yuan (15.91 million dollars). According to Lee Yes, the auction results suggest restoration of the Chinese art market.

Absolutely agree with Li Da.

Tjutchev, the prices are staggering, hard to believe .. the Chinese art market is clearly went to the mountain.

Chinese in the West continues to "aliens", despite the fact that the penetration of the Chinese culture, as compared even with the 19 th century, greatly deepened and broadened. The whole blame for their special, different from the Christian attitude toward themselves and to the world. Migrated across the world, they continue to be a part of his incomprehensible to the West, the Chinese world.
 
Europe is relatively recent, despite millennia of Chinese history, became interested in China. Incidentally, Russia almost the first established diplomatic relations with the Chinese.
 
Although the Russian culture is much closer to the West and much more closely intertwined with it, we can say that our Western art also knows a little bit. The entire blame for our nearly century-long closed, so information from the global processes. But this is precisely the information exception, no more! Domestically, continued cultural life, despite the fact that we seem to "put a cap invisible" to the world. This is the main cause of uncertainty, and therefore the undervaluation of Russian art in the context of the world.

And the Chinese and Russian art can not be called secondary because there is not in the 19 th century, impressionism was born. These cultures are self-sufficient! And the main feature of their self-sufficiency - is the ability to absorb and adapt themselves under the elements of the culture of other countries, without the threat of loss of identity. Russia in this sense at all unique country, because that is its quality over the centuries was both the impetus and the need for its existence and development.

 Tjutchev, I understand everything, the picture belonged to the emperor, a talented author, but the price is 25 mln.u.e.. I can not understand.

Chinese art - a reflection of millennial traditions and filosofiy.Izumitelnye specimens of Chinese art became known thanks to the Arab merchants - Mariners even when the Valdai Hills in the dense forests of the hunters caught skins to cover their nakedness.
Interest in Chinese art has always been. Today demand sharply vozros.Lyudyam need point opory.Aktualnoe same art, the expansion of which can be seen today in the New and Old World, anything worthwhile in this regard can not offer.

Pomoymu demand grew at all. Chinese, Russian, African and Latin-American, even .. art .. More people are being drawn, more people are becoming rich on the planet, who all need somewhere to invest, and so on .. this foundation of success is absolutely contemporary, fresh art, which is sold in larger quantities than art to the 60th, and brings much more money. For Chinese, it is not open, if you're interested read art + auction for the month of September ..

Right, all the modern thin. Salons Russia clogged painted posters for five kopecks does not have such a good ..

I have not had this in mind

And this, as they say, the claim does not address, not to the Chinese art.
What you consume with pleasure, then dayut.Udovletvorenie demand market, so skazat.Mozhet it comes to classical and Chinese calligraphy!
