I would never have agreed to live next to this man of the shirt.

Well, here's a sea ... relax, swim. Especially Kuprin AV -painter from the circle of "Jack of Diamonds".

[uriart]

To be honest, because I was nauseated by this social realism.
These construction sites, blast furnaces, cranes, working weekdays Soviet man ....
If we recall that the concept of art must be the joy and pleasure, then, forgive me, what a pleasure from this painting?
I understand that as vypendrezh between each other.
Even good Kuprin not a pleasure and I do not want to have this work at home. What could be more Pimenov. So even a beautiful woman's body is written, and there is joy in this work.
And that says Sergei prices, so truly says. Crazy prices and unjustified. It can not cost so much!

And do not you have one.
Generally, any product to sell - the main story and think vtyuhat its buyer. In the case of socialist realism, this story is - why he sold. But the artistic level of most "proletarian" art - it is tin.
Ie Socialist Realism - it is more a cultural artifact, rather than aesthetic. But there are among this good work, to-e is my pleasure to hang on the wall.

Shl Again - Theme eating sov.nasledstva. Cultivation of artists - a problem for the private art business nepripodemnaya, so content with what we have.

I think that all these works, as well as the others (pretty good works of famous authors) in this auction will not be sold. All the same crisis and the soaring price of its role in this play.

Painting Konchalovsky, I think, will be sold.

It shows his work "Boris Pasternak." Thaw. "? Women's body next to Pasternak did not see ..

Сообщение от artcol

the main thing to invent history and vtyuhat its buyer.

And what could be imagined about the work Pimenov, Deineka, Kuprina ..? AND vtyuhivat "them to the buyer does not make sense .. normal, excellent, collection Paintings .. 90%art dealer of such works only dream of.
Prices certainly strange, but our life is the last time, too weird (remember how we discussed a calf in formaldehyde, and other relevant art).

Сообщение от uriart

If we remember that the concept of art must be the joy and pleasure

Excuse me, but who told you that art should be the joy and pleasure for me art has to be melancholy and alienation.

[Евгений]

Сообщение от uriart

Did you mean the name Deineki.

Of course, as an artist you like Pimenov or too "enemy nation" ..?

Сообщение от Samvel

bear the anguish and alienation.

Alienation from what?

[uriart]

I do not remember read somewhere that the word art has a meaning and the concept of delight. I mean the vision or hearing problem or something else.
And if all this does not bear such a thing and can not call it art.
The very portrait of Boris Pasternak ugly.
Boris Pasternak was beautiful all over!
And during his appearance in the poetry!
