Stallone in the Russian Museum.

[Konstantin]

Sylvester Stallone is also an artist . Or maybe the opposite - also an actor ?
So what , you might ask me , why not? Enough of such cases when famous people are taking up the brush.
Yes, true, but not all of them fall with exhibitions in major museums around the world , and Stallone got . On these days flashed the news :

" In the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg will host the exhibition of paintings by well-known Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone. Announcement of the exhibition appeared on the official website of the museum . The report said that the exhibition will open on 27 October and will run until November 27. Works will be exhibited in the Mikhailovsky the castle.
The actor writes in the styles of impressionism and expressionism . He himself had earlier admitted that he likes to paint more than acting.
Painting S. Stallone started to get involved while studying at college in Switzerland. In the same country in 2011 and held the first exhibition of his work. Then in St. Moritz was exhibited about 30 paintings Stallone . "

Cool? What does this mean ? It Stallone rose to the level of the leading Russian Museum or the Museum rose to the level of Stallone ? In my opinion both options are bad, do not have anything against Stallone artist and especially Stallone , Rambo and even an exhibition at the event would have gone , but on the winery or garage . And in Russian ... very bad deal in St. Petersburg with attendance since it came to such PR activities ?
But to me, as always , is interesting and is another aspect - how much are the pictures? Rolled up his sleeves and went to the net, and found the same prices
30 000 - 50 000 $ .
Buy it? I do not know ... Due to the artistic quality - hardly. Since there is no sales at auction , it is anyone's guess you need it to someone other than himself , and Stallone Russian Museum.

After I posted this message on Facebook are , started a discussion about the fact that this is not so bad . If the exhibition will attract the attention of the public, and along with the rest look - and that's supposedly good.
I do not know , I do not know ...
Any exhibition in the museums of this level is a sign of quality for the artist , and it is necessary to consider it at an angle . But attracting visitors not somehow what, and world-class exhibitions . Then the interest and culture will be the winner.
