Belated photo report. George Condo Gallery Gary Tatintsian

[Vladimir]

Exhibition George Condo "artificial realism" ended in mid-July 2008. It was noticed, it was a lot of press. Condo - one of the great Western artists held. I like it a lot from him. But specifically, this series of distorted portraits - to a lesser extent. IMHO you can sum up any number of theoretical basis for the distorted portraits, but will still feel that the thought of such a thing ex-husband of Olga Khokhlova.
Now Tatintsian preparing Exhibition Tony Matelli.

I liked the "madhouse" of course. And immediately clear that a man in Galway. It was the first time I've heard this name and have not yet climbed to the Internet to check. But my guess is people - stubborn. Now go look for Bipartite graph.

But is it worth to look into the biography of the artist, and everything falls into place: he is a historian. Studied art history at the University of Massachusetts, then in Germany. Delving into the world tradition of painting, began to draw himself.

George Condo is now a lecturer in art history - and the theorists, practitioners have become like a stamp marked. They are cautious, intelligent, carefully looking for a warm place in their own subject.

Seems wrong. Not violent. But so true to the old wisdom of "Still Waters Run Deep - run deep."

I have a speculation on this subject, that is, the version is not supported by any evidence There is a commercial logic, the market. Many people like Picasso, "Portrait of Dora Maar." Hundreds of thousands. But to afford a Picasso might well several thousand people (for this to be a millionaire, a multimillionaire), and want to - well, hundreds of power. Portraits of such class cost tens of millions of dollars and each sale - the event. To meet the market demand arises in some way work-substitutes. Know the name of a similar idea more reasonable price. In the case of Kondo obtained: the famous name (Condo is very well known painter) pikasinaya issue price in the tens of thousands of dollars, not millions. During a hundred times more than a reproduction of Picasso. The same logic can be placed on creativity Wick Myunisa. Remember the "Russian project"? Were taken from the work of Rodchenko to Vereshchagin and, based on the unique author's method made Photocomposition enormous size. That is, the buyer mozhnet buy Rodchenko made by the famous artist Vik Myunisa. And I think it's great, why not? Reproach of plagiarism is not wealthy. The ideas of Russian avant-garde used by many. If you can Infante, why nelyazya Myunisu. I saw the work Myunisa alive (found in the archive's) and I will say this: inspired!

In this chain all clear, except the first. As he became famous?
There was a historian.

I guess like everyone else: hard work of the intellectual element of luck. I learned about him when he was already known

Vladimir With all due respect to you, the answer is not convincing.
That was a historian, then his torknulo, and he poizuchal conjuncture of art, saw, and began to do as great but cheap. That's so simple? And it became known as a historian or as konyukturschik? And by the way is the question - he immediately began to write these portraits or anything else started?

No, not right away, it is a genre cycle. Just do not think that he konyunkturshik. Sometimes that music навеяло. Remember, we discussed the plot "a cat with a bird" in the works of VI Yakovlev, inspired by the theme of Picasso? Probably the same case. A konyunkturshikov buyers and the market quickly raskusyvayut. Indulging tastes may be, but is not that a little bit.

no wonder. It often happens that torknulo and began to paint. I do not like the example with Kandinsky - well here too Gauguin torknulo. The man worked in the business to succeed, began collecting Impressionist and here his "torknulo" or "stuck" or "-stands," as you like I was daunshifterom.
