Nalbandian, Yerevan sketch
 

I wonder your opinion on this work.

In my opinion, is better than Nalbandian (which is quite simple).

Did you like it I do not like.
In 1976 or 1977, I knew his address and went to his apartment, to spit in his face.
Yes, only it was not at home.

And then my energy is not enough for his prosecution.

Just me in my youth so amazed how people can be forged in his paintings that I just could not bear it.

For me, "painting" Nalbandian - a kind of pornography, if you like.
Is trying to pass off as "blaharodnye chuystva.

But what he Armenian artist?
Scoop-flyweight, with complete lack of sense of color.

Businessman, the kind soul in public life, brought the jeans from abroad for employees of the Academy of Fine Arts, etc.
Like all Soviet bosses, from Sergei Mikhalkov to Sergei Narovchatova - keen hill, eager to please everyone.

"Now"? Hm-m ... :D
I would say this: In 2008, the year before the crisis, some things that sell well on the author Sovkome and Leonid Shishkin Gallery.
In 2009 and this year sales of something and was not practical. This year one was a good sale at Shishkina:
"Morning Breakfast" 1987, X /m, 50x101 per 1 575 000 RUR.

Somewhere in the early 1980's, the Academy of Arts was a personal exhibition of Dmitry Abramovich Nalbandian, and we with my friend Minka decided to make a postmodern act - to visit this exhibition.

And it had to happen that in the main hall was itself "Nablyadyan" (as he called my art teacher in high school, it was not me, comrades, moderators!) And conducted some sort of excursion.

And he led this group of comrades to the portrait of a steelworker, and said, verbatim:
- ............ nice guy, loves his job .............

For us it has become a walking Minka phrase.
