Thank you very much awaited exhibition.
One might ask, posts reflect your likes and can it be assumed that they correspond to the order?

No, the order of artists did not reflect my personal preferences. Generally, they are all very interesting artists, and each of them to me in my love. They - they say - "my" cling sometimes very seriously. And yet, two of them - "just mine": Vasmi and Schwartz. In fact, they are a seemingly complete opposites: expressionist Schwartz and "cold" Vasmi. And, nevertheless, they have that inner energy and concentration, that the absolute creative dedication that wins once and for all. By the way, their lives and to unite a very close friendship.
But it is difficult to explain why an artist like most of the other. I love and Shagin. Restrained attitude to Gromov, although some of his stuff is very good. But the nuances are still fluctuate between excellent and superb. Of particular relevance to Aref'eva. His early stuff I think of genius (which is, for example, is presented here), but what he did in the second half of the 1960s did not penetrate me. So it remains for me to figure ambivalent.
In something like that.

But in Russian there are none, it seems, except Aref'eva, as I see it.

No, no, Cyril, in Russian, they are all there and there, of course, before the Tretyakov Gallery. And, incidentally, from the Russian work is also on display, as well as of TG (the organizers, however complained that Tretyakov was a very "capricious" and until the last minute was not sure what will work)

I Vasmi directory timing could not see.
It may not look very closely.

Gromov also on the saw, however, and Gudzenko.

In Aref'eva very strong schedule.
In the book, seen his picture, "Prometheus" - you can watch him for hours.

True, I have a catalog in 2000 .

Vasmi words, graphics and painting, Schwartz, Gromov, and Shagin Aref'ev - too, but about Gudzenko I just do not know - not specially interested. But of him are generally very few works extant.

Verily !

Thank you so much for this report , fabosch. Of course, the art of the highest standard - what we can all truly be proud of. How nice that produced such an impressive album (400 works) - just great >


Auction Shapiro exhibited several works Aref'eva . Among them the portrait . Interestingly, this is , by chance, not a portrait of Robert Vasmi ?

Safety and technological quality of the work of artists Arefevskogo circle - this is generally a separate, very painful subject. Vasmi, and Schwartz wrote in the majority on canvas or cardboard, or even on paper, on canvas - rare. After all, they were beggars (almost literally). In Aref'eva canvas is more common, though still there on paper and on canvas. In Gromov's in this respect the picture is much more prosperous.
Often used tempera.
The most deplorable state of the work - at Schwartz. He often used the relief paste, on which he worked more and simply imposed from above or thick layers of oil (it usually works very fakturistye) - and now many of his works the paint layer cracks and falls out straight pieces (I have one of his works, too, in the corner requires restoration). Look at the pictures of Schwartz, increasing them, and you'll see.
Framework there are all different, someone kept authentic, someone has already done his. If you work on a canvas, it is often done simply castoffs.

Mikhailovich, you are confusing the timing catalog with a catalog of THG. A catalog of the timing charts of the XX century until just no volume. But the timing of the exhibition catalog , " Drawing and Watercolours in Russia . XX Century" and is Shagin, and Schwartz, and Aref'ev and Vasmi .
By the way, the show was amazing. The only claim to it , that was presented as a brilliant first half of XX century, so sad picture remained on the second half of the random selection and unconvincing
