What is art?

[tchaika]

Interesting character - Mr. Mark Restellini. Founder and Director of the new private museum Pinakothek in Paris, art historian, art critic. I was at his conference and noticed his independence in his judgments. Among the questions he was asked, was this: "You seem not particularly interested in" modern art "(" art contemporain "). Why not? "
Answer: "Yes, of course, good artists. Sometimes I see something remarkable. But when I come to Fiac (Contemporary Art Fair in Paris), I have become discouraged by the level of works. All repeat: "This Fiac remarkable". And if you argue, you find a fool. For example, I am not interested in Jeff Koons (Jeff Koons). I tell you this frankly, and this is what many think, not daring to say. "

This once again confirms the thesis of the manipulation of public consciousness in the interests of art biznesa.To that is expensive, has a great artistic tsennost.Dolzhno be exactly the opposite! But who pays the piper calls the piper ...

[tchaika]

And you doubted it? Of course, it is - manipulation of public consciousness. And the so-called "modern art» ("art contemporain") is an important part of this program. To do this, even invented a term such as "politics of art" (such things abramlenie art). This - the political diktat, violence against art and the souls of people.

The fact that someone does not like Koons (I myself enter into this category of people, if anyone may be interested in) does not mean that FIAK, say, 2009 was boring. The curious can read the extremely detailed photo reportage from him, made for this forum at one time Glasha and SAH, for what they are once again a special thank you.

Still, not every day you can see the fair with so many masterpieces. And the fact that it had no girls in headdresses - is a separate issue

In Mark Restellini, as you probably understand from the translated my article, a complex relationship with the Parisian art world, this does not mean that it automatically rights in all their utterances.

The best definition of art is, when the whole is greater than its parts
components!
p.s.Vybirat between Mozart and Rachmaninoff's the same as between
Rembrandt and Rothko <!--~ a ~-->.

p.s.Vybirat between Mozart and Rachmaninoff's the same as between
Rembrandt and Rothko <!--~ a ~-->.

For me, it is too strong comparison.
If between Mozart and Cage, for example, then Remrant and Rothko fit.
Yet the avant-garde composer Rehmaninova did not name, except with the Rothko their place of residence together, and the lifetime-about, Sergey 35 years older and went to the same earlier.

I understand that the art historian Mark Restellini for you credibility. But now in Russia is a great specialist on "contemporary art" - Dasha Zhukova (school Abramovich). I quote excerpts from an article published in the newspaper «Guardian».
The journalist who interviewed with Dasha, first of all turned its attention to its western accent, and stress-neutral language.
 "A few years ago to a question about your favorite artist girl replied:" I do not remember very well the names. " The girl, who showed no slightest interest in art and journalism, announced that it opens the gallery.
- Is it enough to qualify you for all this?
- I do not think that I should know about the art of everything - she snorts. - I would like to be a curator, but in the future. I have a goal that I want to achieve, and while some gaps in knowledge have not been a problem for me.
- How about your own collection?
- I still keep it a secret. I collect stupid, funny and weird things. "
 
"Dasha's father, a prominent businessman, took the name of Dasha's mother, Helen, turning from Rudkin to Zhukov. After the birth of her parents Darya quickly separated. Mother Dasha emigrated to America. Dasha had lived in Santa Barbara. She studied in London at the homeopath.

That's why I thought and still think the art of the result of creativity.

YNo result of creativity, too, may be different. Virtually every person in varying degrees, engaged in creativity. But not many have lasted up to the highest form of creativity - art. This concept consists of a very large number of components. When these components are combined in one person - he creates art. The main components - a talent. But over it is to work. Why are so many really talented people left nothing grab poglyaznuv the weakness of human being ...

people will understand who is, kto.Stop "What people? Townsfolk? Who Shishkina with Levitan confused? Then all the art of painting is finished in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Art will survive and transform the townsfolk, because it bears more than just a "nice and clear." In this regard, the visual arts simpler - there is a chance to be understood later. Of theatrical performance more difficult, because he lives today and now.

 I think so too, but do not see any of the creative process in the selection (if it ever was), shark or a cockroach.

 Not Hurst made the shark and not even he had thought "marinating" in formalin.

  Accordingly, I do not understand how a shark or a cockroach can be seen as an object of art, in the absence of proper mere fact of creation.

 If only the process of creating stuffed animals, we do not agree to refer to art .
