[Жар-птица]

I recently read an interesting article about the hidden signature Vrubel (the heroes of his paintings, texture skulpturok, etc.) in the magazine Antiques and Collectibles. This recently dug up and do not believe.

Tell me, is interesting.

Eugene has just confirmed it again the story about Vrubel Sergei UK.
In one of our friend, a collector from Europe on the wall hung a super-duper (10 times!) 120 or 140 cm Vrubel. Some years it through his friends in Moscow and St. Petersburg made the papers. It's a long story - all the experts were afraid to confirm because Watercolor for this work is in the Russian Museum and the lit-re is no mention of this oil, they said that it will blow up the museum community, etc.
As a result, the State Tretyakov Gallery and got something else. And she goes to America to stay with relatives there and negotiates the sale of its Wrubel, a week later went to a scheduled trip to Bolivia, and died there under mysterious circumstances ...
Less than a month, as I mentioned to a friend the dealer that long dream to buy a Wrubel, and he said to me:

"Do not you know that selling Vrubel very bad sign, people die. And I would never sell Vrubel."
There is! So, thank God, that he returned to Sergei UK, gave, gave.

Sandro, in the same town from me on the east by a collector bought a few things and he showed me a watercolor Vrubel to "Spaniards", this vertical 60 cm around the thing. I did not take much-requested, no paper, but agreed that the technique of arranging payments via deposit, etc. After some time, mutual friend is calling and rushing me, saying, come on, the collector had the surgery, cut off his leg and apparently not the last operation. I refused in such a situation to negotiate and about Vrubel forgotten.
Including and I have something similar could remember.

SergeiSK, fly - author lithographs, a series called "Four days".

I can be wrong, but I think it chromolithography.

[Sandro]

Wladzislaw, you are absolutely right
Chromolithography - a way to play multi-colored lithograph images using a hand color separation master of lithography and fabrication of the number of lithographic pech. forms that can convey all the colors of the original (from 6 to 20).
Chromolithography,
way multi-color lithographic reproduction of images, where each ink is made manually separate printed form on a stone (or zinc plate) on the surface of each stone pre-applied cutout. H. almost completely superseded by photomechanical processes of making molds for flat printing. See Lithograph.

Yes, they make a small print run, in that they are expensive.

try in order:
1. At the time of Rubens and Rembrandt in the average life expectancy was no more than 50 years. Women were dying earlier because, frequent deterozhdenie seriously damages health, and children have survived only durable, infant mortality in general was not a surprising fact.
2. Joan threw herself out the window, after the death of his beloved Modigliani, while she was pregnant at the time.
3.Pro Musorskogo already written.
About his portrait - it is actually, you can pull the ears of any story about a historical character, who, like all we ever did die!
  About Munke: the fine art of psychic organization written tons of articles, and Munch was no exception. For the most part they are all a bit mystical personality, otherwise their work would not cling.
Alfred Higgins was 47 years old when he commissioned a famous artist painting: he and wife are on the deck of their beloved yacht. Picture will be colorful, but soon after the end of the work on the Higgins died: he had been bleeding in the brain.
A week after that his wife was hospitalized with an acute attack of psychosis, and soon she also died.
As stated after this tragedy, "knowledgeable people", the wife of Higgins died because of their on canvas Marc Quinn, a painter, who supposedly sold his soul to the devil - all depicted in his paintings of people died shortly after posing.
Today, Quinn does not give interviews, does not comment on the tragic fate of their models. But regular calls to wealthy people, whose faces are often occupy the society pages and on television, and offers to make their portrait. Mortally scared millionaires, according to rumors, he immediately paid the artist a round sum only for the fact that it does not take up his brush ... "- but it's very similar to the ravings of a mentally unhealthy person.
And in conclusion: you can cause an incredible number of examples where many great artists have painted portraits of his contemporaries no less great, because the "low" on this simply could not afford, it was expensive. As everybody knows, and with them it was all beautiful view, and they lived a long time, and perhaps even happy!

I wonder where he is and the way these people?

  I do not remember where that information came to me, but Vrubel was some sort of unrequited love and this woman's face is reflected in all his characters, yet his father made fun of him, saying that even his demon looks like this girl.

[Tana]

eva777 have turned out such a wonderful Christmas story about the fears, will, a conspiracy on the night of Christmas, and you're like this now .... and everything is so simple and trite, as 2 2.
I read that in Vrubel was mental illness, but even before the death of his son, the first attack was a year later, when he wrote his demon.
Here you are about the same:
On Munke: the fine art of psychic organization written tons of articles, and Munch was no exception. For the most part they are all a bit mystical personality, otherwise their work would not cling. "
No, not everything is simply banal, something in this is, but otherwise do not cling to.

Unfortunately I have a copy

The main thing - that it was the name of the artist, who copied it, for example:
"A copy of a painting such and such, comply with that something." And you can sell.
