fross, and that greatly changed recently? )

You will not believe!
But not that I no longer like the old, but new, which I know now, somehow changed and supplemented and expanded and ... vobschem do not know, I'm not a writer and critic - I can not describe.
And I realized that if he did not collect so exactly what is not once collected. That is, should be something whole, has some meaning, I suppose.
Who have any ideas?

There are different types of collectors. Shchukin, for example, was a very methodical man. Most people to whom he showed his collection, called attention to the fact that among the paintings were empty seats, and their question, he replied that this place should hang, say, a Cezanne painting of a certain period, and with such a plot, which had not yet, but that he would buy.

The opposite example - Riabushinskii. Once, while in Paris, he bought a Gauguin, who was at that time completely unknown, he paid for his Gauguin, for example, 500 fragkov (I have no recollection of this price, so take the numbers from the ceiling) and took him to Moscow.
He kept an eye on this Gauguin, watched a few years - no, nothing can be done, do not lay his soul to him.
So Riabushinskii met again in Paris, picked hateful Gauguin - and drove off. Comes in a gallery, where he bought, explains, does not like him this picture of De, and the owners say, please, gladly will take it back, can pay 5000 francs.
So they made this deal.

Day 2-3 Riabushinskii, glad to be rid of the hated Gauguin's mouth (as I soon as I Sitnikova no), walking around Paris, and suddenly, he passed the gallery, he sees his former Gauguin in the window, and the price for it - 50,000 francs.
So, he came in and bought it

I would like to add that Riabushinskii was not just a collector, but true connoisseurs of art. In the late 19 early 20 century. with the architect Shekhtel he designed the house. This is an unusual house, conceived to small details. Completed in Art Nouveau style, all elements of interior podcheknuta fluidity and smoothness of forms. Visited me it about a year ago (the job at the institute - to write an essay about this house, the impression of him). So, the most memorable - a staircase, steep, and seemed to be spilled, melted - photo attached.
Chairs with duck heads. Well portrait master of the house))
which there are many more - and the column entwined by snakes, on the top floor of a small prayer service, but that was my aunt, museum workers (who incidentally are sitting so quietly that it seems that they merged with the interior: shy not allowed.
the way later in this house lived Maxim Gorky, and now this house is a museum-apartment Gorky

Yeah, the passage of Gorky in the house Shechtel /Ryabushinsky was similar to some cyclone - the great proletarian writer had a remarkable destructive power: getting a new home, he launched into his well-appointed - in the bathroom he wanted to arrange a room in the office - dining hall, in general, he acted as Isadora Duncan in the famous novel by Bulgakov. As a result of the internal decoration of the mansion is left with a wonderful GULKINA nose.

Vladimir, that the exhibition was in the woods, it is an indisputable fact (there are some bumps were, on which all tripped). But to say exactly the right is from the subway or the left, alas, I can not. Tomorrow will Volodya Sychev, who photographed it all, I'll ask him (I did a poor guide).

LCR, here we were talking about the strange picture http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showth...8285#post38285 Perhaps you know the origin? She has illustrated information on joining Rabin and Bulatova in Russia's Academy of Arts. But looks doubtful, but rather presentation of some of the Order in the Russian Embassy. Do not know?

Tell me, is the fact that Riabushinskii industrialist, who was the owner of Russia's first automobile factory, huh? And if I'm not mistaken, this car factory was at that time the largest in the world. Since it all went to Russia's auto industry. Well, in the 17 th year, all of this, of course, was set. And so Ford would not be considered now the world's first large avtopromyshlennikom, and our Riabushinskii.

Yes, here he is, a world conspiracy against Russia, which was the most cost-mighty power of that time. Now, by the way, we are seeing history repeat itself. States again decided that Russia is becoming too powerful and influential, and unleash a new cold war.

In the matter of landscape design for the better, nothing has changed. And with the fall of the Soviet Union, with the attendant emergence of disposable packaging and affordable beer - only worse

Yes, when I saw the first time the staircase, the windows - an association with Gaudi, this is art nouveau), by the way all of Gaudi's life was devoted to this general assembly, was present every day at a construction site, and in my opinion there and died, it knocked the tram ...

Regards Ryabushinsky. He was, moreover, industrialists and entrepreneurs, so that the owner of the first automobile plant - it is quite possible

Well, it's not ... Also Sagrata Familia Gaudi, Casa Mila, but as far as I could see through the trees ...

Better yet, compare home Ryabushinsky with mansions Gaudi - casa Mila, casa Calvet, casa Battlo - built in Barcelona and its environs. As there are no great writers there are not settled, the interiors have survived
You can imagine how beautiful it was interior home Shechtel.

I think most of Antonioni's film "Profession: Reporter" was shot in casa Mila.
