Returning after a short absence, first of all I want to apologize to those participants in the forum, which I could not help offending the topic. More precisely, its name. So already we find that for me the most important skill is the Russian (even Russian) art. What happened automatically and in the name of the topic.
But this forum is very active Ukrainians. And as if I was not proud of some of their country, but have to admit that the quality of Ukrainian painters is not inferior to Russian. And if you look at Western auctions, then we have to admit sometimes the priority for modern Ukrainian art.
If I say that among all members of the Russian Union of artists have real talent of 5-10%, then looking at the Armenian painters, I have to drastically increase this figure. They were perfectly capable of doing expressionist things bright and light, good and sunny. It is these, which, we severely lacking in Russia.
In Belarus, a very strong school, a very deserving artists. I visited not one joint exhibition of Smolensk and Vitebsk artists. And the desire to buy a painting I have encountered mostly before the works countrymen Chagall.
I spoke only from my own experience, so please do not be offended citizens of those countries, whom I missed.
I ask the Administrator to change the name of the theme. can do, say, something like this:
Problems and Myths of Modern Art of the former USSR.
