And yet another is already a mature artist colleague once said: "unsigned painting, an unfinished painting. Made this for him, this phrase seems that once tore all to sign. Even long sold gladly signed and now calls himself a "fool" for unsigned work.

How true! Thank you, Kirill.

Do not want to be ironic, but I feel not help myself, sorry: shy:: years of some sort through ten of some wise man, doubted the provenance, will carry a picture, for example, Grabar. And there it will please: Signature made much later than most paintings. And the conclusion is ...

Or maybe an artist creating a painting, internally resisted termination status? Psychologically, he is not comfortable: as long as something is not signed, it is still part of the author, the author has not yet separated from their child, and the signature as a "cut the umbilical cord and sent the creation of an independent life.

It's not terrible, many artists have already signed a "later". Even already on lacquer. Often. Signed, then his. And on the back of it all. His hand.

Always ask these questions and share what I znayu.Znakomy artist
having no professional education, by its nature a very shy,
their work is not podpisyval.Na remark that a good idea to do it, for posterity,
stories, etc. ... replied:, Yes, who will assess the painted woman erases
underwear in the hole with his hands red with cold, ugly, and with poluvyvalevshoy
from under Kozhushko breast? "This is it, woman - an object for admiration, its values, persistence, vyzhyvaemosti, Russian tolerance .... And finally, what am I?
I did something to change this life? Sitting in sheepskin, paint ...
No, sign this ... it would be awkward, so this woman for himself and for me,

Why do artists do not sign their work?

I do not think that much of the work on the hands of collectors are not signed.

In general, one of the answers can be like that. Not signed as a rule do not complete the work. Do not completed according to the author. It would not put the last point. This is not complete in most cases and there is a good thing.
Work more vibrant, thought they did not break off.
And pay attention. If the signature is painted with a special love, the work shows that the result for the author, the subject of admiration, is just a signature.

A general work, as two drops of water similar to the photograph of the artist.
as a something to show, prove it.

There is an artist, whose signature (or rather, a monogram, but recognizable) is almost polkartiny. What could be his "photo-portrait?

Agree! This is what is trying to say, but the artist has expressed better, because it is his own feeling.

Why do artists do not sign their work?
Every artist have their reasons. I sometimes do not sign without cause. A couple of times right at the exhibition showed the finger to the question - why not?

one asked about it.
He told me that once back in college a master of his remark made about his sprawling signature, they say, should be modest, young man.
Since then he has to poke into the bottom corner of the picture and zastovlyat to sign and date.
But on the back of all the signs in detail.
And one already mature artist colleague once said: "unsigned painting, an unfinished painting. Made this for him, this phrase seems that once tore all to sign. Even long sold gladly signed and now calls himself a "fool" for unsigned work.

This is not from pride but from humility and some features of the practice, living and teaching methods. It is known that Miknlandzhelo signed only one of his work: "Pieta" - on the tape, which supports the clothing of Madonna, the words "did Michelangelo ...

Even because of sales, but there was almost no official, no one was interested in the signatures, most signed by those in whose hands turned out these works, sometimes attributed, in any case. It required a signature, but still beautiful, with the invention only to the restructuring, all were signed (on all sides), to wear to the artists to sign and sign the name of the artist himself, if he was no longer among the living ...
