birthday of the great Russian expressionist in Zverev Center for Contemporary Art

It seems to me to talk about the genius simply dishonest with respect to the artist, I think that he would not like it.

think that snobbish? Most likely he would not like. Many would not like. Tischler, probably Drevin. Yes, many whom. But personal modesty here is not a criterion. Yakovlev - author of a number of brilliant and penetrating works. To call him simply outstanding expressionist IMHO not enough.

man is not prepared for his perception, not educated,

A man on painting Yakovleva, for example, says: "scribble ..."

Perhaps ...

Generally speaking, I think that too often we use the word "genius". In my opinion, geniuses - a unit in the entire history of humanity, moreover, in various fields. And due to the fact that they are too few, the meaning of words began to blur. Talent are all those who at least knows something, and those whose art is understandable only selected, trained, educated, called geniuses (maybe from a desire to show and his involvement in the election understand).

Maybe a genius is one whose art does not need anyone to explain? Pushkin, Tolstoy, Raphael, Leonardo?

I can not remember, no matter how hard I try, someone (Leskov, "Soboryane?) Read the story of the deacon who was to usher in the church anathema to Leo Tolstoy, but before he read the" Cossacks "- and his soul is opposed anafematstvovaniyu (as can also curse the man who the soul and nature so you know "). In short, instead of anathema announced he mnogoletie than brought upon themselves in big trouble.

Genius - without any clear explanation. I think so.

A Yakovlev IMHO by a special, its flowers are striking and unusual. Their time will come.
