Segodnia my znaem art, kotoryi sohranilsia v vekah - chto by emu sohranit'sia v vekah, kto-to dolzen za nim smotret 'i sohraniat' - eto byli vladel'tsy arta /kollektsionery - sledovatel'no, sohranilsia art kollektsionnyi - sledovatel'no, kollektsionery, a ne hudozniki donesli etot art do nas - ostal'noi art ne sohranilsia

Well, not only collectors, but in the first place - the church, then - the aristocracy, and then - collectors. But we're not talking about who and how to retain the art, and its objective assessment. Naturally, the assessment of art, which has survived. What is not preserved impossible to assess, or sell.

K schast'iu ia horosho obrazovan v obeih oblastiah, chto daiot mne vozmoznost 'imet' sobstvennoe mnenie.

Glad for you, AlexanderG, but we're not talking about you personally.

The artist, like any other professional who strives to earn the respect of his work above all his colleagues, not only contemporaries, but also for future generations .--
Eto predpolozenie, v kotorom ia sovsem ne uveren.

 You want to say that the good doctor, for example, do not try to win the respect of his colleagues? Or do not want to contribute to the development of medical science, which will be appreciated by the medical community?
Once again I want to return to his thoughts. Evaluate the work of a specialist in any field can only specialists in the same area. And for greater objectivity requires a certain period of time. Artists - is no exception.
