Edward Seago - Edward Seago

[Тютчев]

I want to introduce the forum with the work of the artist Edward Seago (Edward Brian (Ted) Seago). Why Edward Seago? First, it is little known in our country. Secondly, it is interesting in the sense that he is very English painter. Very English, not only because it continues the tradition of English painting, but also because his work is known throughout England - from the Lord to an ordinary student. And what better to talk about the nation, but its preference in art?

There is another reason why the work of Edward Seago seems to me interesting. Namely, when we talk about the market of Western art, we talk about it more often in connection with the sale of works of loud recognized masters (or issued for the add-on), forgetting that this unit sales compared with the total volume of transactions. Works by Edward Seago just relate to that segment of the market of fine art, which is the largest number of sales. Of course, in the history of English art, namely the English landscape painting, we know and more important painters such as Turner or Constable. But creativity Seago interesting precisely because (among other things), which gives us the opportunity to expand their ideas about the market of fine art. This, in turn, through the comparative analysis will allow us to more clearly understand what is happening on the domestic art market.

Articles about the artist in Russian I could not find, so I had to translate English text. I hope my translation of a quick fix will help in getting acquainted with the work of this artist.
