​​Peter, I do not know what was real and what was not ... Were in the 19th century and the more unusual , nemeynstrimovye artists than Van Gogh , for example, Odilon Redon or abstract Turner. And Van Gogh , IMHO, could not write otherwise , it is interesting here to compare with Gauguin , he did knowingly , prudently , the fact that Van Gogh often did , simply because otherwise could not , could not. And both have created one - the foundation of modernity .

Cyril Syzransky, no , my thought was different.
Here are some nick the word product immediately understand something second-rate and unnecessary real connoisseur of art and the consumer . And the word I mean the product is exactly what a real connoisseur of art and the consumer will buy once and not razdumyaya , because it will have all the qualities that he , the consumer was looking for.
Here's a resident of London, which publishes interesting and full reviews of the London art fairs , once wrote , in essence , the Fair 2012 is no different from 2011 - the same picture , the same artists with the same pictures. And the galleries and artists shut down the entire spectrum of needs and so that there is a new product , you need a buyer with the new requirements . As these needs are being formed , so the new paintings and will be .
The idea that an artist can give birth to something completely new, beautiful, but unreal . Once upon a time Vladimir Bogdanov said that it is necessary to buy a "new Picasso " , te expect the arrival of an artist with the same degree of innovation and productivity. To which I replied that an artist can never and never will. It is incredible too , and the art market operates that is. There are fans of abstract expressionism , there are artists, there are fans of Art Nouveau , we have artists such minimalism , too, is. All niches are occupied , the goods created .

This is a gray apassionarnaya point of view that everything has been done, all that can be found on the Internet, in a restaurant , etc. So sit, you are good.
