Probably not the first time, start talking about the one called "a Russian artist. Or even "artist of Russian origin.
If Chaim Soutine somehow may be attributed to the "Russian", though born and raised in the Belarusian town, probably in Russian do not talk, held in Russia Empire, only the first 20 years of life, but as an artist was formed in Paris, where spent the remaining 40 years. Well, let them.
But Tamara de Lempicka! Which met in Petreburge only 6 years old - from 14 to 20. And "professional" has already started to draw deep into exile, because of livelihood was not.
Or Mark Rothko, who left Lithuania, which never really Russianness did not differ in the age of 10 (according to other sources, 7) years. And, of course, no "Russia's artistic spirit" has been absorbed.
I understand that you want to look impressive against the backdrop of Records artists from other countries and nationalities. But, in my opinion, it gives a kind of inferiority complex.

You are wrong to define the motivation of the auction houses and dealers, which rank as one or other artists to Russian. They are driven by mere desire to sell their expensive pictures. We know that Americans are buying more American artists, British English and so on. Here and there are a number of Russian artists, those who have never they were not. Simply Russian buyers are trying to impose on artists who are not Russian, looking for any clues in the biography.
And about the inferiority complex I can tell you that the Russian art over the past fifteen years, so took off in price, as no national art never dreamed of! Russian artists are as many as are in charge of western tops! And, believe me, this is not the limit! Russian art market is very young and very Russian art underestimated. Although if there is a worthy thing, she immediately goes for serious money. Example the recent sale of Malevich ($ 60 million). A Russian artists such as Kandinsky and Jawlensky, (despite the fact that they lived in Europe, have always remained Russian artists) were valued in the past. You know, for historical reasons, Russian art remained, and remains little known to the world community. As soon as the circumstances will be overcome, Russian art will occupy the place which it is worthy. Eventually everything will fall into place, ie prices of Russian art will grow even more.
P.S. Most artists who are trying to "make the Russian," mediocre artists. I will mention, for example, all the same Tamara de Limpitska. Her Russianness just a far-fetched, but the Russian avant-garde artists such as including plenty of people of different nationalities absolutely Russian artists. Russian - is a long time more than nationality, membership in a particular culture.
