How to read art history texts?

[Allena]

Colleagues! Here's another masterpiece of a press-release is very creative, by the way, nice gallery. The name of the artist, I removed, but easy to guess, so guessed I urge you not to share their guesses: the artist is not to blame, that is written about him . Particular attention is paid to recommend the order of presentation of thoughts and punctuation (I always thought - apparently mistakenly - that punctuation marks are designed to organize the text to make it clear to the reader), as well as on the imagery:

Masterovitost does not necessarily imply the seriousness, and XX, one of Moscow's leading artists, consistently proves it. Ironic title of the exhibition "Fun" is not talking so much about its content, how much of the special artistic vision of the author. In his own work rather traced "merry apocalypse. Multi-format works, executed with acrylic on canvas, it is substantially different from previous series of paintings. The author makes extensive use of color, giving up already becoming accustomed to his style of monochrome. As a contemporary artist, XX quotes coloristic constructing classical painting, but uses compositional devices of the screen language. And, at the crossroads between the traditional art and visual media production, XX opens the possibility of realistic display of quiet apocalypse, and permeated life. Globalism and the universality of our world has the effect that the person exists in an environment filled with tension and a variety of accidents. Confronted daily with the dramatic news, we get used to coexist peacefully with them, and even split into essential and secondary.
        In "Pictures» XX detected favorite artist of landscapes, are subject to either internal collapse, or whether external devastated. Author retains continuing irony, which is manifested in the works in two ways: in a systematic enumeration of surprises, filling the space surrounding us and in the use of color, which gives the image of "fun."
       In this series, namely color creates major tension. XX uses not only traditional for him details, but a color and a deep level. As in his work, where people - only the movement of the brush, and the art of XX - primarily living movement of the soul.
      ZZ to characterize the properties of such art XX as "modernity" offers to use another prefix "post" in the term "postmodernism". By choosing extremely serious subject, the artist dissolves in the ease of execution. Almost all the works of this exhibition - recognizable images on the brink of extinction. One of the pictures refers to the actual object - the building of CHA in the crumbling condition. At the same time everyone knows that today it is in its place, but what will happen to him tomorrow, nobody knows.
        It is no accident and used in the name of the word "pictures". Making quality, but as if in passing, they, like the Chronicle staff reporter. The viewer becomes a reader, it does not offer deep assessments, and emphasizes the transience and instability. The artist does not seek to expression, it selects those angles that make us observers, not participants in the events. Art XX away from the game and it is impossible to say that the world is for him - an illusion, Maya. The author is on the thin boundary that separates religion from the art. And why you can not play the way chosen by the artist to overcome the "unbearable lightness of being."
         When tension maintenance work XX continuously creates filled soft aesthetic artistic reality. This property probably causes the viewer to follow the transformation it creates worlds as the fate of the beloved heroes of the novel. His works can reconcile man even with the apocalypse, in which XX reveals a wry beauty.
