Platitude, though like all the "creativity" of this gentleman. When nothing to say, it uttered such empty phrases.
     Recipe from the Hearst - open something new and invent a better future, but do not forget to make the lessons of the past. How pathetic! In Anglo-Saxon straight! And puritanical gone! This whole Hurst!

But it works! Apparently miserable lot!

       Dear Artem, you are absolutely right about that: "it works". It "works", ie wheels rotate, only everything in time butter to grease. That's what I had in mind. And the presence of large numbers of beggars - this is the main condition for the success of such projects, because top prize in this game - it's money. The more miserable, the more money. And money, as we know, no smell, and still have a remarkable property - they are converted into anything that does not want. And what can we wish, when you have money? Right - even more money! (He points to a remarkable book, "It was the magician in the city ..." and no less remarkable film, based on this book. I do not remember the name. Well, remember, Artem, where magic match?), Which is logical.
      It is this simplicity of its Anglo-Saxon and bribes the talented Mr. Hurst, a huge number of enthusiastic fans who buy his netlenki "in the hope that someday will be able to sell these" masterpieces "Lohamei, lining up for" beautiful ". Perhaps it was, would, if not inventive at all commercial cunning mind Demena and his inordinate appetite.
      The thing is, my dear Artem, that in addition to the above-mentioned advantages Hurst has a good memory from childhood and learned the saying, "Strike while the sun shines. So he forges his modest fortune in sweat with two stores, workshops and trusted dealers. The other assistants can be hired temporarily, the benefit that the funds for this are as willing and able to breed suckers (remember even the campaign against Serbia) abound. Let's not forget the voluntary, disinterested helpers in the face of provincial (not at the location, but in mentality) intellectuals, educated in the crazy 90-stye of textbooks Soros. So when this "chorus" to sing Hosanna Hirst tired, or because of natural causes, no one will pay for this "celebration of life", what would happen? Yes indeed, nothing much will happen. Especially something like this has happened many times and probably still does not happen again. There will always be as clever manipulators and those who wish to manipulate them.
      Listen attentively only in these words: "Art - is always a discovery of something new, and we all desperately trying to invent a better future and draw lessons from the past." Does not that there are allusions, inspired by the distant and not very events of world history? So you see people vskinuvshih hand in greeting, or a crowd roaring in anticipation of a "better future". This phrase could say many, is not it?

      I have one friend - "the artist-businessman, he maintains a" Master Class ". Made "colossal" directory. The entire catalog - they are large photos, A4, and under every photo fat short text: "We draw", "Vasya with the picture", etc. When I saw said that a grown man can not do so, on what he just laughed and said that I did not redeem the "spirit of the time! As a result of the success of the catalog and follow-up was really huge! People in the queue, clutching his heart that directory. Apparently I did not redeem "something, but do not want to! As in the house with a bad roof leaks rain, and a poorly developed mind seeps primitive simplicity.

Artem, if I understand you correctly, you are comfortable with the fact that some people are very active in the media space, and I share your point of view, but only on those cases where there is some harmless attempt to entertain the audience. At the same time, when, in my opinion, attempts to substitute something really valuable sort of surrogate, I think it necessary to point this out. The reasons are several. I will try to lead, in my opinion, the main ones.
1. There is internal (psychological) need to identify these phenomena, ie separate grain from the chaff. And in the process of communication is realized this need and honed skills to do it. (And anyway, the conversation - this is haute fun. By the way, on this occasion, I can not express my special gratitude to the organizers of this forum for the opportunity to get this pleasure.)
2. There is concern, prompted by my professional activities. Insofar as I'm swamped, and the subsequent sale of unique pieces of art (although what else could they be!), I'm not interested in that, in my "diocese" invaded fraudsters selling of questionable value. Sooner or later people realize that "the king is - naked, and then they no longer desire to acquire objects of this art. (This, incidentally, also applies to the subject of examination. The fact that the forum expressed doubts about the usefulness to debate the authenticity of works of art.) Though, it must be admitted that this problem is eternal (the existence of real values causes the presence of the imaginary), and therefore in terms of dialectics, practically unsolvable.
3. And I, I hope that this somebody will be useful, ie someone help "fix the roof." But this is pride.
P.S. There are so many in recent years has divorced Hurst, Xenia stool, Nicosia Sofronova, Bezrukov and other counterfeiters!
