On the other hand, Nicolas de Stael, who, presumably, your German scientists also identified as a French artist (if they did not pass it to their attention), was much less convinced convinced of his "French" than scholars of his work (I quoted somewhere in his words), although, of course, they know better, then, they are historians that history to tell

Indeed in the compilers have been difficulties with regard to the nationality of some of the artists. In looking at some they are not so distinct.

Nicolas de Stael (subtitled - in a vain search for the optimal mode of expression) - artist, born in Russia.
Chaim Soutine (Workshop massacre) - artist originally from Belarus.
Willem De Kooning (The appeal of the flesh) - Dutch-born.
Victor Vasarely (Founder op-art) - an artist of Hungarian origin.

So what was said. There are cases which fall from the product concept of culture - or rather, one culture.
I retreat to the side. Nabokov - both the great Russian and American writer.

All lists biased, because pursuing any goal, sometimes petty, selfish.

Regarding the so-called "Second School of Paris", then, in my opinion - is a fully commercial project. As "Beaujolais Nouveau". No such schools do not have any, but there are quite a large quantity of talented immigrants mainly of Jewish origin. What they were really united because almost all bedstvovanie and humiliating existence of an immigrant.

I remember a dozen years ago sold atelier Exter. One of the best lots is not got the man to offer the highest price. French museum, using its right, bought this lot. At that moment occurred on the French denied citizenship artist who lived his last years in terrible need.


And a warning. The forty wine drink can!
