What distinguishes the true artist from not present?

Medvedev, a naive artist, they have main-expressiveness. You can not have them in order of size.
The last I brought Cartney Degas. He was, as you can see, too, can be with someone "pushing", but not likely, many give up such a picture at home, even without a signature.
  In the meantime, I know artists honored with merit, and "boring" pictures of the bargain, which simply do not need anyone. That's me to the fact that one of the advantages of the Medvedev-its apparent consumer qualities.
And about the techniques and visions of various artists again everything will go to the debate and not return.

But there's just different. So have a look that is taken from the other can still be seen and so void. His then-nothing. A Pirosmani all his, all his own way. Also the Van Gogh-all his own.
Emptiness is the worst thing for an artist.
France has Nyvna style and is very good work.

I agree. I also prefer Ukrainian folk artist Katerina Bilokur (first 3 works), is clearly better hyped A. Russo (4-I-5-I).
   But there is still a very well deserved Maria Prymachenko (6-I-8-I) and the famous Ivan Selivanov (9-I-10-I). And looking at their work, I'm not sure you can convince collectors Medvedeva switch to them.

That's me to the fact that one of the merits of the Medvedev-its obvious to consumers.

Fed, dear, "Consumers 'quality' of luxury items (a painting, not being subject to the essentials, I boldly pichislyayu to them) So, all the" consumer quality "luxury goods, artificially created. On the realization of (changing) the mechanisms to create "potrebitelsih qualities" (as "needs" in the luxury goods) had a lot of already written, rewritten (in "How to unleash the artist, for example) ..

Special thanks to Katerina Belokur (Brilliant, sincere and passionate artist, especially given the cultural and historical background) ... If you know the analogues have been reported. please. (I just do not know of such examples in history ..)

Unlike Katie Medvedeva, which simply "fell into the stream" with their "impressions" ..
"Consumers 'quality' are related to the merchantability, (and not for art).
Therefore, the "gather" (because "pokupabelnosti" exclusively) .. Because of the "investment potentsilala" (mostly ..)
The examples you cited, illustrate the work of very different artists
Primachenko (beautiful talented artist) has worked in a very traditional technique of Ukrainian rural paintings, adding a powerful individual vision
Many more can speculate, but do you really think Cho is a natural correlation between the level (art) and consumption (consumer value)?
What you described as "dignity" - in reality, "severe need of time."

I do not understand what you mean by comparing the level of art and to consumers.
  But of course I believe that consumer quality pictures are important when it is selected, like any commodity. Just take them to be together (without extracting individual) criteria for the goods, which play a decisive role in choosing the right product by the buyer of several alternative products with similar functions. Criteria-functional, economic, anthropological. Function-"hang on the wall and enjoy the work, or envy (what someone close). The economic-stability, growth, liquidity.
 And a very important aspect of anthropology, ecology, beauty, and (not have a negative impact on privacy rights).
  Now, test the pictures, who do you buy, Soutine or Degas (his lead, as mentioned earlier)? And check the list of consumer qualities.
   This cliché qualities can be applied now and in the other. That's why I wrote that Medvedev has a clear consumer quality (especially in its segment).
P.S. And really, any of 2 listed above the level of art.
