Artist Leo Tabenkin

[Konstantin]

Are you about his paintings? Agree ..

Eugene This is a bust. Paul openly showed us what he is doing what, especially as he in his statements about other artists, does not say "I'm better." Let us argue with him not at a level "And what about who?" Yes, even with glasses and a hat, but essentially the theme. He does not like painting Tabenkin, because it is gray ... Well, the view, as if yes, not very bright colors.
But most importantly, is it in the number of colors on the canvas?
Is this a criterion of quality?
That's what let's ask Paul.

Constantine, the meaning of the word "gray painting" a completely different .. You should carefully read Paul .. wrote

Primitive.

Сообщение от Pavel

These artists are not there nor here-vsegdaodnoobrazny and boring and political background is the only thing that is there and is confusing. Primitive.

If you Konstantin, believe that all the creativity of the artist L. Tabenkin-gray, I do not think so.

[Konstantin]

how to talk with Paul, please allow me to decide.

I will not specify. If you think so - my apologies.

Velop previous thought:
If Paul did not say who he is, then the argument itself boring artist "would not have received. Of course Paul did not differ correctness, what I do now? But in statements rather tactless hurts him the same.
But the question to you Eugene:
- If the "greyness" about painting Tabenkin said "good" artists such as Kandinsky. It would change our attitude to the pictures Tabenkin? No. That's what I mean.

I agree ... Paul everywhere where one can vanities Polytec .. but he said nothing, and swallow it "clever" ideas about creativity L. Tabenkin, no desire ..

It is interesting to read you, Vladimir, and the political heresy of Paul Tyryshkina pardon me ...

I myself did not invent. Read more. Are you saying that I am a bad artist, but one has to be an artist. I explained why I nenravitsya Tabenkin etc. How can I help you, ahromaziya not be cured.
In the vanguard of the post is a literature on the Russian Avant-garde, you name Mayakovsky said something, but as the peasants of Malevich or the 1st horse. I think more need to know. Chagall-kommisar arts, etc. Ignorance breeds anger.

  Autobiographical notes
  
It is human nature irrepressible desire for freedom. The whole history of civilization is filled with the desire of some to impose freedom "for themselves" to others. Trouble to someone who is willing to live a "foreign" freedom, freedom in someone's presentation. What is a "perceived need"? Do we understand it as a "need" an animal, rushing out of the cage? Freedom - is "like two and two make four." Freedom for man is a person of Christ, this is the right choice and responsibility before God. At the core of her art.
My paintings, large or small, good or bad, were born out of this longing for freedom, because only in the works and I was really happy, forget about his ego, become a particle "something". These paintings are born from the life of my father, whom I love endlessly, from his suffering from his camps and prisons, from his desire for freedom. These paintings were not born from an excess, but from the lack. Maybe in history have been happier times.
I have worked with 15 years, but in the end, my experience today is the experience of overcoming vulgarity, dumb, imposed concepts.
I wrote to people, markets, railway stations, pubs, trolley buses, streets and shops, trying to understand themselves in the world, to present the facts and, based on reality, to stand a little taller. And you want to reach for something higher, to convert the element in the plastic, because it is in this whole meaning of freedom in life in accordance with the highest laws.
The last few years, after some opening of the "milestones" in our country in the world appears a certain awareness of the existence of our fine art. Sometimes it takes "ethnographic" form. However, the principles of art are the same for all. After "Arttsentr was in the souls of Henry Moore, as well as in Hokusai. We live on a ball and all to the center of one distance. Who knows, maybe our difficulties, the total pressure given birth to the famous confrontation, some internal discipline, possibly the germ of something new.

From an interview with "WP"
------------------------------------
..... What caused such an interest in the West to the Russian art? - Asked the correspondent "RG" the artist Leo Tabenkin.

- I think that Russia - this is for the West in a sense, nature reserve, which preserved the principles and traditions. In our country there was no commerce over art, we have engaged them for the soul. Artists of our generation were not biased by the market. It was believed that those who engaged in the sale of paintings, destroying the very idea. What artist can not be rich. On the one hand - this is very bad. And on the other - it is in the reserve may be preserved any quality, which anywhere else would not have survived.
