Got here this morning album: I. Leites. Victor Borisov-Musatov. Moscow, Art-spring, 2007. 96 p.

Of course, I bought this albomchik - not least because there played a lot of fairly obscure work (and some I did not see).
Reproductions must say, absolutely horrendous. Modern technology can take away the color pictures reproduced in any long-distance, so that the color reproduction never resembled the original. The concept of the relation of colors photoshop master had never heard of.

But is not the case. Better to have uzhastnuyu reproduction, than none.

A pleasant surprise was the text of a comrade Leites (Leites, or? Floor vysnit author failed).
A good Russian, sensible presentation of the material - that Russian art is still very rare.

One picture is "The Lady with the book," reproduced on page 47 I was alarmed: it was too un-musatovski it is written. I looked at the location: what it is, Irkutsk Art Museum. There is already a well-known falshaka by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (watercolor portrait of his wife).
I do not think that Com. Leites maliciously printed (a) of this neschastnuyu picture in which the author did not understand, under whom to work: a som Borisov-Musatov.

In general, it is not in it and not even in preuzhas T what follows as reproductions.
During this time already quite recently published a booklet anyway spasibochki.
