Who is the best contemporary portrait?

[Самвел]

Well, would have made Martiros Saryan.

I'm musing over his question, too, beginning with Serov. And one should think - Grigoriev, Altmann and Annenkov. In the past all the easier - the results are known. And yet, someone can name a candidate to succeed?

Why are the successors? Successors in what? This would, of course, the most Chourikova choose. From the very modern Koshlyakov would probably be able to do. Why not? Shutov.
... Although, I will agree, after the portrait of Ida Rubinstein and a portrait of Akhmatova in 1914 bracket bunched too high.

OOO! Another one titanium forgot: D - Nikas Safronov.
- Painting is called - Two.

I, too, primarily thought of Serowe, of course, of Ida Rubinstein. Went through many - and Nesterova, and Kustodiev, and Altman - but stopped at the Velasquez (although he was not in the subject). Perhaps, Perov?

Well, that's you, sir, at the very Vasisualy Lokhankin our day sights: D: D: D!

Speaking of his contemporaries as a portrait, of course, in the first place, unfortunately, think of the gentlemen of the court painters: (.
  Perhaps Igor Makarevich? (Portraits Chuikova and Kabakov, Ilya's Closet "). And from NEnyneshnih - even Petrov-Vodkin, David Shterenberg (portrait of his wife), but ideally, I agree with qwerty,-Annenkov, Altman, in my opinion, too absolute coincidence of the artist-model.

Well, thank God, to D. Hurst did not reach ... , that would be scared, innocent
woman.

[Glasha]

antip, you mean Makarevich? He is a good portrait painter, and I think he would find a decent, expressive way for the inimitable Inna Mikhailovna .. Speaking of his contemporaries. Actually at a loss ...
