- In your opinion, good taste can be cultivated?
- Of course, good taste, this is a trait that is instilled from childhood. If a person from a very early age, acquainted with the beauty and eternal canons of beauty, it is much easier to develop good taste. Good taste - not an innate quality, but rather is the result of work on oneself. Constantly expanding his horizons and discovering new, we improve the taste. Good taste often associated with a sense of style, though they are two completely different notions of fashion and art.
- And what is more important in the formation of private collections - the taste or fashion?
- The laws of fashion are found in all human activities. But fashion is always conditional. Despite the fact that the fashionable art incredibly in demand at a particular moment, it does not make it more attractive in terms of collection. There are far more important criteria when selecting works for the collection and in the first place, it's artistic value of the work. Today is a very fashionable to collect contemporary art, but this does not mean that collectors of art of the XIX century have bad taste ...
- Taste of professional and novice collectors often do not coincide. How do you behave in such situations - inoculate the taste of customers, or trying to meet their aspirations?
- I always try to listen to the wishes and vision of my clients, not hiding, but their opinions. Typically, all began to be collected from the classics, guided by the submissions received in anthologies and museum catalogs. But conservatism in collecting - not always a sign of good taste. Abstract Art - is an evolution, which is an artist first, and then the viewer. This art requires special training, experience and education. For him to come, gradually expanding his vision, but can not ever come.
- How modern art influences public taste?
- At all times, art form, as the canons of beauty, and fashion types. Modern art makes it more intense and eclectic, speaking at the same time a very large extent. Today there is a tendency for the synthesis of the arts, when the theater is combined with music, painting with design, video and cinema. Art shows us his attitude to the processes taking place in society, and helps to determine our own attitude. It is clearly and interestingly it turns out - depends on the talent and skill of the artist.
- Bad taste in art - this is ...?
- Epatage. When the artist is not enough inspiration, or school in order to tell the world about himself, he resorts to outrageous. Thanks to the work of some creative associations, contemporary Russian art was very often associated with Engendering shock and revulsion. Fortunately, in addition to outrageous, in Russia there are many interesting contemporary artists, based on the rich traditions of Russian school of painting. Without a doubt, someday their work will become property of the general public, but now their work is the subject of collecting.
- Creation of an artist is to you an example of impeccable taste?
- This is a very comprehensive question. Incredibly strong sense of style had such artists as Van Gogh, Marc Chagall, Konstantin Korovin. For me, an endless source of delight is the Russian avant-garde works of Count Andrei Lansky, a Russian artist, who left their homeland during the October Revolution and dobivshegosya wide acceptance in the west. His lyrical abstraction - refined intellectual painting, full of energy "color-light". Today creativity Lansky finally gets deserved recognition and at home, which shows including the evolution of public taste in Russia ...
