And some, for clarity, imaginative examples do you have?
- Icons imaginative and Perm wooden sculpture ... Those who are slowly and carefully performed, eventually becoming imaginative artists.
- And how can we accurately determine this or that artist on this principle?
- Yes, it's written on my forehead! Wants to see. The Impressionists only touch, but Cezanne imazhinativen father, he worked for a long time. And all those who resort to sublimation, not sleeping, you know, at night - touch. Van Gogh - a good example of a known drunkard. A slander on the Modigliani built - he is our, imaginative.
- I know that the picture of the "Wasp," you wrote seven years, it is unique on the ground marked 18 (!) Layers made in different techniques of painting. Where the "Wasps" now?
- They bought Basmadzhan for his gallery.
Basmadzhan, as we know, is dead, killed him, and around his Paris gallery walk dark rumors ...
- I specifically went to Paris to find out the fate of paintings, but the gallery is now run by his sister Basmadzhana, I was not even allowed to go into the basement to look at the pictures, they are stored in the basement. There's some criminal situation, familiar to the French say, you even do not go there, not to make trouble.
There is, in my opinion, the Armenian mafia imposed on all hand. Meanwhile, according to the contract, could Basmadzhan "Hos" just stand, they did not belong to him, I was going to send them a gift to the Tretyakov Gallery. But Basmadzhana killed just down the road with me, he wanted to buy another large batch of papers.
- History of sad, but our time is quite typical. In addition, we must admit that the picture is now at least buy. And for a decent price. And how do you in the past to earn their daily bread?
- It depends. Restored stove at the Novodevichy Convent. The editors of technical journals threw decoration work, came across to me in life thanked the Russian people, but for some reason they were all Jews.
- And where a pseudonym - Cook?
- Cook - is the cry of the cuckoo, which fascinated me as a child. I heard it when I was four years old, and I realized that I - Cook. And since people began to call me Cook. But in fact my name Manuilov, my grandfather was the manager of the Sormovo plant.
