Dear Alex Sander's letter which asked me to publish Igor Dudinskiy.
He reads the forum, it is true that says forgot my password and can not get to answer, so asked me to post here is a letter in response to your post in the announcement of the exhibition.
think about this journalist Igor Dudinsky, which belonged to the circle Pyatnitsky and knew him personally.
Here's what he would like to convey to you.
Dear Alexander
I'm extremely glad that through you found a kindred spirit and admirer of Volodya. Not for nothing among the connoisseurs of contemporary Russian art collector I select Misha Alshibaya - precisely because of his passionate love for Pyatnitskoe, whom he (like me), considered one of the key Russian artists - at least the scale of Filonov and, of course, Chagall.
Nevertheless, I believe that comparing Ishin, Pyatnitsky and Chagall-absolutely correctly - as it would be incorrect to compare, for example, has just brought to Moscow by Caravaggio and, say, Picasso.
Of course, we can compare anyone to anyone, but not whether this kind of intellectual exercise is just an idle game of the mind and the sucking of the thumb?
Do not you think that any individuality of the artist (in the broadest sense) is characterized primarily by its membership in a particular world view, the cosmos, the coordinate system? Agree that Mayakovsky - a genius, and the Bloc - a genius, but an attitude, "cosmos", the coordinate system of both - are diametrically opposed.
If we talk about the Ishin Pyatnitskoye and then, if you know in 60 years in Moscow were equally "fashionable" are radically different worldview writers (modern classics), Igor Holin and Yuri Mamleev. So, Pyatnitsky - a classic Mamleev and Ishin - Classic Choline. I think my comparison of more than successful. In the sense that first of all Pyatnitsky - airy-fairy grezer and Ishin - firmly standing on the ground "pragmatist." In this sense, Ishin worldview rather it would be appropriate to compare with Oleg rubles. For Ishin, Tselkov, Choline, Mayakovsky inspiration is (was) around us the material world of metaphysics - the earth, coming from the matter and in this sense, dualistic, and Mamleev Pyatnitsky, block - a type of one hundred percent "celestial beings". While those and others - I would say ravnogenialny, as did many wonderful and epoch-making discoveries. With regard to Chagall, this is completely detached genius. I would compare it with Stravinsky and Diaghilev in Music in Cultural Studies, who managed to raise their level of ethnographic origins to world culture.
Well, that's the type outlined
