Samvel, try to order:
About Tarkovsky and Paradzhanova I wanted to say only what he said, without any implications. I'll try another way: without Kuprina Russian literature can not be presented in full. But, whatever the Kuprin good, talented and beloved writer, Dostoevsky more significant, because it is their creativity identified in the literature of an entire era.

The fact that today's dealers want to buy for 100ð, and sell for 1000 $ "- there is nothing wrong with that. We all want to buy cheap and sell expensive.

dealer and philanthropist - different concepts.
You know, when the artist asked for a picture 1 rub., And the dealer gave him 1rub. And the next day to sell the painting for 10000000000000000000000000000 rub. - It honestly. In any case, no one no one cheated. Not fair - this is when the artist has agreed with the dealer, the dealer found a buyer, but the artist changed his mind. Samvel note, I - not the dealer. I'm just trying to talk sensibly. Experience of communicating with dealers I have plenty. Among them are cheap bazaar traders, but also among artists, not all geniuses.
Relationships artist-dealer - a commitment from both sides, on the basis of agreement. Schemes of work set by "blind" to "transparent" conditions - too. Perhaps you really did not meet "fair dealer", perhaps the very notion of "honesty" is interpreted by you as something special.
90%(author) 10%(dealer), provided that the dealer sells now for $ 1000.
10%(author) 90%(dealer), provided that the dealer sells the same picture for $ 10000.
How do you like the dealer? Honest, who gave you as much as 90%=$ 900
Or the one from whom you received only 10%= 1000 $
I knew a guy from Odessa, who in the late 80's well settled in Amsterdam - they took up the old man, in his time engaged in S. Dali. A couple of years the artist has earned millions of guilders, and decided to revise onerous (I think 30%to 70%) relationship with the dealer. The dealer is not liked. Creative affair ended in divorce. So after this, the artist has not sold any of its profitable operation. Galleries agree were having a relationship with his dealer, but not with him personally.
Naturally, I omit all sorts of nuances, but the essence is this.
Samvel, I think you are confusing the commodity-money relations with the categories of morality, sensuality, and so forth - hence the konfliktuete with themselves.
I know artists who do not communicate with any dealers or the galleries, it does not, do not sell (at least, nothing to fail to do so specifically), while still a good artist, not in need of compassion. The very notion of "artist" of all artists - misc. For some people - is the ability to draw, for others - a means of livelihood, for the third - a way to carry culture to the masses, for the fourth - a self-affirmation, for the fifth - membership in SC ..., for the one hundred thirty-fifth - way of life.
Honest and poor - are not identical concepts. Poor dealer - a phantasmagoria.

Speaking about the degree of influence on the masses, of course, I was not referring to the mass of the proletariat. Not for them, by and large, everything is done.
If you think that Herman, I. Averbakh - "traces", then what kind of depth should be "the trenches"? And, Zvyagintsev just started, wait - we shall see.
