The new social mission of art is to reveal the new. The main purpose of the artist - no longer attachment point (the value of imagination), not the image of reality (the value of skill), and even the sincerity of (a romantic value). It should produce something new ...."

I am deeply convinced that the main purpose of artist is a legend of sense (especially at what he does), it is valuable skills and necessarily complete sincerity in this no-etom.Esli urgently changing the type of activity, do not torture lyudey.Dolzhen Does he make something new (nanotechnology, etc.)?

Paul, in the process it became clear that it was only a legend

This is not a legend, read the letter and contemporary periodicals. Impressionism in letters and documents.
At the time, sold a lot of work in salons and it was a decent painting. Theo showed clients of Vincent. It was a shock. If so spoken of Monet, what about Van Goga. Then this decent painting depreciated to zero, and those who purchased Van Gogh at Vollara could buy a house and cottage, or as the French say-mozhnouzhe not work.

Paul, this topic has been discussed here, of course I did not immediately find, but here's an article quote part of it, all here
http://www.c-cafe.ru/days/bio/21/024_21.php


"Unrecognized"

The general situation of Vincent Van Gogh was unique. He worked as a designer on a contract with artdilera, who was one of the key figures of the market "light painting". And this artdilerom was his brother. On this state considers each franc restless wanderer Gauguin, for example, could only dream of. To all other Vincent was not a mere puppet in the hands of a businessman Theo. Nor was he a bessrebrenikom, profane not wish to sell his paintings, which he freely distributed "kindred souls," wrote Meier-Graefe. Van Gogh, like any normal person who wanted the recognition is not a distant descendants, and in life. Confessions, which is an important sign for him is money. And being himself a former art dealer, he knew how to do it.

One of the main topics of his letters to Theo does not search for God, and talk about what we need to do to be profitable to sell the picture, and what painting can quickly find the way to the heart of the buyer. To advance in the market, he led an impeccable formula: "Nothing will help us sell our movies better than their recognition of a good decoration for the homes of the middle class." To illustrate how will "look" post-impressionist paintings in the bourgeois interior, Van Gogh himself in 1887, gave two exhibitions at the Cafe Tambourine "and restaurant" La Forsch "in Paris and even sold them to several papers. Later legend beat this fact as an act of desperation of the artist, whom no one wanted to let on normal exhibition.

Yet he is the constant participant of exhibitions in the Salon of independent and free theater - the most fashionable places in Paris intellectuals of that time. His paintings are exhibited artdilery Arsene porter, George Thomas, Pierre Martin and Tanga. Great Cezanne had the opportunity to show their creativity at the personal exhibition only in the age of 56, after almost four decades of hard labor. While the work of Vincent, an artist with a six-year veteran, could be seen at any time to "rent the exhibition" Theo, where have called all the artistic elite of the capital of the art world - Paris.

The real Van Gogh least similar to the recluse of legend. He - his best artists in the medium period, the most convincing evidence of anything - a few portraits of the Dutchman, painted by Toulouse-Lautrec, Roussel, Bernard. Lucien Pissarro painted his conversation with the most influential art critic of those years Fenelon. Camille Pissarro, Van Gogh is remembered that not too shy to stop the person you want him on the street and straight at the wall of a house to show his paintings. Present in such a situation, this hermit Cezanne's simply impossible.

Legend strongly endorsed the submission of non-recognition of Van Gogh, that was sold during the life of one of his painting "The Red Vineyard," which now hangs in the Moscow Museum of Fine Arts named after AS Pushkin. In fact, sales of the paintings from an exhibition in Brussels in 1890 for 400 francs was a breakthrough Van Gogh in the world of serious price. He sold no worse than their contemporaries Seurat and Gauguin. According to documents we know that the artist bought fourteen works. The first is a family friend made the Dutch artdiler Terstig in February 1882, and Vincent wrote to Theo: "First the sheep passed through the bridge." In fact, sales were more about the rest simply did not keep accurate evidence.

With regard to non-recognition, then starting from 1888 well-known critics Gustave Kahn and Felix Fenelon in the reviews of exhibitions of "independent" as they called then the avant-garde, allocate fresh and vivid works of Van Gogh. Critic Octave Mirbeau Roden advised to buy his paintings. They were in the collection of such exacting connoisseur, like Edgar Degas. During the life of Vincent read in the newspaper "Mercure de France that he was a great artist, Rembrandt and heir to the Khalsa. It is written in his article entirely dedicated to the works' surprising Dutchman ", a rising star of the" new criticism "Henri Ore. He wanted to create a biography of Van Gogh, but, unfortunately, died of tuberculosis soon after the death of the artist.

Veronic, in short, was sold, but expensive and a bit .. (in life) ..

[Pavel]

Felix Feneon was a critic of the new directions. At his request, Matisse had gained access to the gallery Petit. Octave Mirbeau was a famous writer and his collection was a lot of good artists (Utrillo). Others-they were friends or rodstvennikiVan Gogh. Many paintings were uPapashi Tanguy. Torsteg was a relative nearly uncle (too lazy to go into the book), he actually chased after him and his Londona.V Gallery (Department of the firm in Paris) worked Theo. It is strange that they nebylo his work. Another thing they thought the sale of his paintings below their dignity. C Degas, he was well known and often visited his studio. He knew his brother introduced him to all the Impressionists, but he himself was so tight that its exhibition was not taken. In general, it is a bad fashion to open something unknown is a way to falsify the known facts and humiliate the great. All have long known. There is no legend, is the history of art.

Paul, personally I always suspected. that the legend of Van Goga something wrong.

If you read the story to the end, you'd find there these words

"While the world is shaken by the scandals around the name of Van Gogh, art historians, conservators, archivists, and even doctors, step by step to study the true life and work of painter. Major role in this played the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, established in 1972 based on the collection, which gave Holland, the son of Theo van Gogh, who bore the name of his great uncle. "Museum with checking all the paintings of Van Gogh in the world, to weed out dozens of fakes, and has done a tremendous job in preparing a scientific publication of correspondence brothers.

But, despite the enormous efforts of both the museum staff, as well as such luminaries vangogovedeniya as Canadian Bogomil Welsch-Ovcharova or Dutchman Jan Hulsker, the legend of Van Goga dies. She lives her life, giving rise to regular movies, books and plays about the "holy madman Vincent", having nothing in common with the great worker and pioneer new ways in the art of Vincent Van Gogh. That's how a man: a romantic fairy tale for him is always more attractive than "the prose of life, no matter how great it may be."
