And yet - well, who in Russia unwound? Here's an example, my favorite Sovrem. artist Katya Medvedev - (repeat regalia, somewhere enumerated) Personal exhibition in all four major museums in Russia, a personal exhibition at the Museum Orsay (Paris), some sort of special status by UNESCO (such as national treasures), art is fantastic, the scale of the individual - a stunning (all who see her in this agreement, and I am honored to be familiar) - prices from 2500-3000 for the 70x60, many specialists in the front row next to it and not put anyone, because a huge distance - and? ?????????? Ou, investors, whom Medvedev? I know where much of the first selection and inexpensively.
Or maybe someone wants to untwist it? This is not "anyone".

So buy at these prices Katya, we have already bought. A better you would not obnarodovyvali its price (it cost almost the same artist), because as a business port ...
We sell it to other prices, as many other galleries.
We must simply wait for 5 years and everyone will see the price of her paintings shoot, now, smart people are buying ...

I looked at site Katya Medvedeva, and I visited the idea that artists who write, whether navnost, or such a primitive, anyway, they must have a realistic work plan, or close to realism. In such authors kas Saryan, or Filonov, they always had such work. Katya Medvedeva I do not see. It may of course I am talking nonsense, but I think so.

Samvel, Kate - non-professional artist. Her painting is valuable precisely because it is his inner world is very open, generous and sincere throws in his paintings. They have a very unique energy, attract any even the most sophisticated connoisseur.

- I have all the mood. When I was business-like, acrylic work - it does not fade and odorless. Think about heaven - with tempera paint. And that is the soul lies - butter ... Look, even crude self-portrait. I'm in it's own garnet beads interjected. And his cheeks, I do always rosy - so I'm on Innu Chourikova similar. Oh, I love it!

Self Katya Medvedev wrote to his 60-anniversary. Views Katia pictures on this world - not quite appreciate. And there, beside herself an artist in a stylish black silk gown, a light sport boots, in the old scarf Vologda lace.

Katya came to the art straight from the village. Village hungry childhood in the Ukraine - under the Germans, orphanage adolescence, youth in the weaving factory, in crowded dormitories, a short, unsuccessful marriage ... In memory of all this, of itself, a single mother, Katya Medvedev, becoming an artist, write to the image of the Virgin-Yunitsy, bright and happy, who, firmly convinced Kathy, in the most difficult years was by her side, giving strength and hope.

At first Katina exhibition Yunitsu "shaken clean image, acquired Touring Greeks. Katya wrote another, third, fourth ... And they also went to private collections. But every time I appeared again at the next show. And there was no day to canvas with Virgin is not hanging in the studio of the artist, bringing into her life all the new wonders.

I asked, as she began to paint.

- Well, it does a wonderful story - said Katya. - Up to forty years wandering the world, has not yet stopped in Ulyanovsk. Settled in a cafe waitress. Daughter, semiklassnitsu, gave to art school. Bought her brushes, paints, even an easel. A Irinka went and cast. Then she stood up for the easel. And like holiday fireworks thundered. Everything is transformed, in the soul bloomed bright rainbow. I poured out my pictures! " Painted day and night. However, it soon realized that in Ulyanovsk my "strange" images other than child's play, do not call. And although most wonderful was that old age suddenly leaned artists, felt - somewhere must understand. Once in a dream an angel appeared to the gospel: go ahead. Katya in Moscow. On the morning of collected things - and the station.

It was spring 1980. They took Katya to limit a nurse in a nursing home, and lived in it, and wrote the picture. Ubiquitous Moscow journalists found out about it, there were notes in the newspapers about the new national talent, that she lives and works in unimaginable conditions. Someone advised to turn to Valentina Tereshkova, while the chairman of the Committee of Soviet Women. Katya wrote to her, asked to help with housing. But the answer came not from Tereshkova, and from the Moscow House of Folk Art, which has offered to give her an exhibition. And while the court case but gave Kate a ticket to the boarding house, somewhere in the Old Ladoga - tarry, they say, take a rest from their toils.

Did it then, that after just a few years this small Russian town because she would be known almost all over the world. With its exhibition in Nice, hosted by French art historian and collector Rene Hera, painting "White Nights Staraya Ladoga" will cause a sensation. Noticed her own Marc Chagall, at the request of the purchaser, "White Nights" will write straight on the canvas, under the name of the artist: "Kate Medvedev - is a purely Russian talent. She just loves to color, as I do."

From Staraya Ladoga brought Katya Medvedev two hundred paintings, affecting even worldly-wise artists. At his first exhibition came to the last ruble in his pocket, and two hours later, become a real Rich Girl - the entire show sold out. German diplomat Norbert Kuhenke - the same one that played a Danish professor in "Autumn Marathon" at George Danelia - bought "Portrait of the daughter, becoming one of the first permanent Katya buyers. Many of the paintings went to Europe. And soon, the foreign collectors who hunt for pictures Medvedeva. Today only in Paris, in the International House of Art, the Commissioner of paintings by Francoise Gryundt stored for 40 Katya's works.

Draw it all the time, but things go quickly: You've got to live. Katya, incidentally, is easy to part with them. Last spring, a month before Easter, buyers suddenly disappeared, and Katya formed an empty fridge. She should be upset, but she was happy: so said so wished God - to post compliance. And just before Easter Sunday came kollektsionersha Danish Lis Janstrup and bought several paintings. And Katya razgovelas. And even still have money for a trip to the coveted Nice, where her name all the time. But Kate did not get there, because once the money quickly went to relatives and friends who Katya full house.

- To me all are: a cigarette and take, and opohmelitsya, and just eat. Refugees. Well, because she was homeless.

At the jubilee exhibition Katia Medvedev showed only three dozen works, the rest dispersed. Almost all the famous Katya subjects. At this time reigned new favorite - ballet. Not only was her best work - "The wife of Picasso, which acquired directly from the brush-known Moscow gallery owner Galina Danelia. This picture Katia dedicated dancer Olga Khokhlova.

- In 1918, - says Medvedev - in Paris brought together 60 Russian dancers, and Pablo Picasso chose among them very young and beautiful, 16-year-old Olga Khokhlova. He lived with her for 17 years, and then suddenly expelled from the house. She died of grief on the road from Paris to Copenhagen. That's such an impossible story.

- And where your love for the ballet?

- Read the book Plisetskaya "I - Maya. Previously, the village after a woman, I am about the ballet did not even stutter. I thought - it is so high, not for me. And, of course, was convinced that Maya Plisetskaya lives like a queen. But now I know: the life of a ballerina is the most difficult in the world. Ballerina, as well as children living angels. Only the ground running.

The first picture of his ballet "Flowers Swan" Medvedev devoted to Maya Plisetskaya. And although many have tried to buy, sell, hoping to give itself ballerina ...

I have reviewed the site Katya Medvedeva, and I visited the idea that artists who write, whether navnost, or such a primitive, anyway, they must have a realistic work plan, or close to realism. In such authors kas Saryan, or Filonov, they always had such work. Katya Medvedeva I do not see. It may of course I am talking nonsense, but I think so.

Van Gogh, as he tried, could not build in a classical style - from this it does not become less great. Every artist goes its own way.

[Самвел]

Very realistic.

iosif, very curious how you do it alone?

Promotion, as I imagine, could be as follows:

1. Make artist's website on the Internet, and actively promoted. Participate in the deliberations of the specialized forums like this, where unobtrusively advertise this artist.

2. To organize an exhibition of the artist in a decent (well-known and visited) the site and advertise it well - to ensure publication in a special press, the Internet, published a catalog of the exhibition, to arrange exhibition, invite the right people and generally arrange attendance at the exhibition, etc. After the opening of the exhibition again advertise the fact of its opening and passing, to arrange publication of exhibition reviews and reviews of it on the Internet, etc.

3. Publish a book about the artist and try to propagate it by all means available - through the Internet, through retail outlets in the right places, etc.

4. Finally, try to interest any galleries, art dealers, collectors in the prospects of the artist and try to promote it with them.

The second and third points require sufficient funds, especially the second.

There is still something that I missed?

Most importantly, this stage for multipurpose necessities Number of exhibitions, which were attended by the artist. The exhibition is expensive, especially in Europe. Therefore, if an artist takes part in such events it talks about its solvency or interest in his reputation of third parties.

Here is how this consideration affects the rating of Russia is an artist. We may take part in the exhibitions is not particularly personally proplachivaya ... Dating, etc. Often the amount is not connected not so much with the quality, namely, the "interesting" the most creative thought involved "for the directory, so to speak ...

it's all true, but only if the artist himself from nothing predstavlyaet.Raskruchivat artist \ this \ mean to harm him, I repeatedly wrote about it. And all of the above can be attributed to promotion of any product, well, like candy or yogurt.

Samvel

unscrew the artist \ this \ mean to harm him

And in my opinion, (the present), the artist did not hurt either "promotion" or "twist".

[Самвел]

I think O. Rabin, and E Bulatov, it is clearly harmed.
