Exhibition of Russian Artists in Paris

[LCR]

Another unknown to me until now a participant of the exhibition - the artist Jan Bystrov.

Bystrova obviously have something to say and she knows how to do this - it can be seen even in small reproductions.

Work it very recognizable. I especially like the tondo "Meditation", lyric, spring, with delicate silhouettes of the trees reflected in water, and "Rainy Day" with an extraordinarily dynamic background - this work reminds me of the French New Wave cinema documentary character with a certain combination of something very personal.

Rakuzin - mysterious Sphinx, if you like, warm, true artist, in a sense - the magician.

With some satisfaction I must say that I wrote about him a little note in the "Russian idea" was some sort in 1986.

And with his wife, Inna, we have worked hand in hand in the "Russian idea", um ... 14.

Faina Kremerman

On my request to write something about their work Faina sent me this text:

theme of my recent work - is the space surrounding us, with whom we interact, not always knowing in this report. First, as a city dweller, I wrote architectural landscapes. But then, trying to analyze the "pure" space, try to "write" the air, I gradually came to liberate him from the human presence of the specific topics of specific architectural forms, bringing them to the clean lines, so that the viewer does not hurt to enter the space of my work .

Until yesterday, the work of Faina Kremerman I knew only from reproductions. They have very attractive because of its severity, even severity, its simplicity and purity.
But yesterday, hanging on, I saw them alive, and is satisfied that these prints do not convey even a hundredth part of their beauty - the photographs the whole texture disappears and can not see that they are covered with colorful fishing line, creating an entirely unexpected effect.
Wonderful work!

Yes, thank you!
And I Kullback inspired silver pencil (only in America have found where you can buy) can anyone know where closer?

[Pavel]

When I was in Paris told me about a Russian who draws portraits on the street near Notre Dame and had a great turn and he became rich. It's probably about it. Feels outdoor starter, like, come what may.
 Nat Japanese handmade paper, must sell, and a pencil can be a lead or just hard. It's not a pencil, and in the manner or mannerism, which is very much public.
I can not imagine drawing a Modigliani portraits such .<!--~ ~--><!--~ 7 7 ~ ->

I do not understand why you need to be drawing a Modigliani in such a manner if there is Kullback.

I love Modigliani for his creative writing.

Because the Modigliani-creative writing, and here the commercial. While it is understandable, hungry, but with this art?

Vladimir Kara, who has a birthday today!


Yes, but how did it all begin? About a month ago I received a call one person, he said that he was an artist, and his name is Vladimir Kara, and asked me to give Nishina works for the exhibition of Russian artists living in Paris. My question is about who is organizing this exhibition, he replied briefly: "I". And then he flunked me information that he had done, and what more sobitaetsya do. I assure you that is impressive.
"No shit myself!" - I thought. His goal, he had reached: he managed to destabilize me, and I immediately promised to give him the picture, unable to even realize you need to do it or not. "That's my God-Kara-l" - confusion I thought, putting down the receiver!

I do not know whether Kara gave a report on what, for what he takes when he came up to organize this exhibition. And then it was too late.
He did everything himself - a poster, catalog, invitation, he'll take almost all the paintings, he hammered nails into the walls, he talked with City Hall, the Paris Museum of Modern Art, with the press, he sent out invitations ... As a result, the bank provides tour Crédit Lyonnais, seems to be in full force - the French company Railways none other than the need to provide a special train provincial bankers, cultural excursion owners of some hotels (many eerie and weird hosts a lot of hotels), which a man-Orchestra Kara will give a lecture on contemporary art. The result - an interview in the influential weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, and hundreds of posters, plastered all over Paris.
Kara ran the city with his tongue hanging out, returned home as expected, Kara-chkah, but sought only what he wanted.
Yes, I almost forgot: along our little imp had to go to Israel, to the north of France and Germany in their opening days of solo exhibitions. In short, you understand, no? Kara can be used instead of electric!

This really is a man - clockwork, a phenomenally energetic, absolutely positive, a wholly extroverted, friendly, generous.
Even before yesterday, while hanging, he was insane, all shouting and swearing, no it did not take offense to his cries - all snapped to mind, while they themselves pohihikivali and looked at him tenderly. As you see, God Kara turned this gift - I got a new friend.


A picture of him quite different, because that's what a story. Paintings his gentle, slightly sad, they tell of waiting, of forgiveness, of parting, the full moon ...
