A golden heart with a crown!? What is this symbol? Perhaps Christian. Rubin - the blood of Christ?

But not, he was a heathen .. (from his father refused to even ... And Galya and daughters, too, not communicating ... fielded the door .. Оччень specific pair was ..)

I very rarely met with buyers, but as a rule, the meeting was, or in the studio, or in the gallery. Customers are always very interested in "what he meant by". I remember being amazed that I tracked down a German buyer who purchased a pair of work a hundred years ago and came with photos, rasprosili about every detail in the work + make out something that I'm not nearly had in mind and also tried to find out what means. And work has already gained the period in which we met. Generally on "what he meant by" had requests repeatedly. I had to sometimes write comments to work. Sometimes it came to the pathetic situations - had to help colleagues articulate what actually work (with a matching, of course), because many artists can write and talk about the subtext of the work can not, consider it literature. I understand that customers interested in seeing an artist to understand that it moves and why he wrote this or that work to penetrate his attitude and conduct any parallels with your own and see what the artist wrote two .... Five years later, and so . "Actually, interesting and memorable contacts occur exclusively with European customers, our, in my opinion, anyway. I do not know how they choose the picture - under the interior, or what? However, we have very little and bought.

Generally on "what he meant by" had requests repeatedly. I had to sometimes write comments to work. Sometimes it came to the pathetic situations - had to help colleagues articulate what actually work (with a matching, finite), because many artists can write and talk about the subtext of the work can not, consider it literature. I understand that the buyers is interesting to look at the artist's clear that his concern and for which he wrote this or that work as well as posimotret that the artist wrote two .... five years later, and so on.

Marta, a personal thank you for that remark! It would be much more serious about "cover note", write immediately, without delay "with the sensibly, with feeling. And slowly (but not too hastily in a hurry, because the" need ")
Word of the practice as something heavier ...
Thanks again for sharing thoughts and experiences!

Shl :..." What is it that excites and what wrote .. ".
good points! (necessarily included!)
but for what the artist look? Why is it interesting?

It's all very sad ... for the artist. Again confirms that buying rather than the actual painting, and image and brand. Therefore, the artist has to deal not peculiar to the artist - to inflate the brand, think of where and what to say, how to look, where to go, whom to be friends, etc. ..

Yes, I would not say that this brand, just need more people and history, and this is a plus, if history is available. Not a decisive factor. And the story, actually, always have, just not always the artist is able to tell. It happens that he himself can not explain what and why. Even myself. Besides, this is just personal experience.

Posav, it was more a question of "internal logic of the history of the product. which reflects the personalities of the artist, not the external brand (IMHO)

 "We need to make yourself!
In general, we note that trouble to prepare materials and media, design (paper and computer), and t d i n t often take the lion's share of time and energy on the creative part, so that a good dealer is of course out (but in this If write it for the artist will hardly be ...)

It seems to me that this is a new trend of time, that the artist a lot of chatter. I understand that the conceptualist must talk a lot because instead of working there some day and need figulka literary side. Here Chiurlionis, for example, essentially no telling what represents.

It is above all respect for the audience .. If you can talk, talk!
Not everyone is catching up (especially if symbolist pieces all ..)

Well, Nathan, for example, that more can be said about your work?. I have nothing to talk about it, looked, laughed, because it understood. And those who have different way of life is nothing in it can not find even if for a long time to explain.
