Socialist realism - this is our antiques

[Кирилл Сызранский]

May 19 [1957] writers and painters and artists were invited to a government dacha. Apparently, a way to smooth out a bad impression from the meeting on 13 May. According to Kaganovich, "people were walking to dinner on a large park, boating on the pond and talked. Groups and pairs improvising initiative, and some members of the Central Committee and the guests sang. There was a really good relaxed atmosphere. For a while this mood continued once sat down and began to snack. Then came the main part of the show: He spoke - Khrushchev ... First of all, Khrushchev tried to "chew" for artists, writers and artists a lot of what he was talking about the cult of personality of Stalin at the XX Congress of the Party, the only difference was that he read, and here the "language" orally - impromptu ... And the usual podium when he spoke without a pre-written speech, his speech was not always at odds with the logic, and of course with turns of speech, but there is not a common platform, and tables decorated with architectural "orders "in glass products and other industries, for" diction "filled with exciting content." According Tendryakova "tightly sprung Khrushchev saddled topic ideology in literature -" varnishes not that bad guys ... We will not make a fuss with those who do harm to us on the sly. " Khrushchev suddenly struck Marguerite Aliger, editor of the "Literary Moscow." He shouted at her: "You - ideological saboteurs! Belching capitalist West!" "Nikita Sergeyevich, what do you say? - Fought stunned Aliger. - I'm a Communist Party member." "Lying, do not believe in such a communist!'s Maverick Sobolev believe it!" "True, Nikita Sergeyevich - chimed Sobolev. - Right! Do not believe them!"

the Art of socialist realism has finally announced himself on the international auctions: Russian sales in London have recorded impressive rates and significant interest. How long will this trend? Who and how many will buy and who to sell Soviet artists in the near future?

Interesting article Denis Belkevich.
One paragraph from it:

Forecasts

Speaking about the prospects of the market of socialist realism, note the following: today the first names of socialist realism become one price range with previously unattainable by the Russian avant-garde artists and significantly potemneyut art of the XIX century. Maybe the next step will be a joint art projects with the countries of the former Soviet bloc, Germany and Eastern Europe (here comes first on the memory of the recent experience of Gerhard Richter, which in 2014 remembered that started with socialist realism, and even made in the USA the corresponding exhibition), but the most promising and most importantly, the obvious direction of cooperation is possible with China.

Do not forget about the potential until malozatratnogo in trade of socialist realism Christie's - in fact, as we will not forget about Sotheby's and his interest in Russian partners. And ICAC, which, according to Masuta Fatkulina, plans to bring at public auction not more than ten papers per year - there is a calculation to keep the proposal, causing higher cost, and the harsh reality: a quality product on the market socialist realism in the free market is extremely small, and the competition should be high. "Today people are buying poor quality of work, gone. On the background of General garbage "pearls" will grow steadily in price," - said Leonid Shishkin.

One thing-would have the social realism enough buyers? Or it will count Alexei Ananiev and Andrei Filatov?

In socialist realism in addition to revolutionary soldiers and sailors was a lot of things. Barvikha talked a lot about the "left" socialist realism and the left is the more interesting. And so on this kind of social realism buyers will be more than good works.

You did not participated in the conversation where this was discussed? Have to find this thread on the website, in my opinion up there with Karacasulu started and Nemtseva.

And the picture is quite eloquent in defining this direction.
