Once the bearded , loud and very important , VV Stasov went to the exhibition and saw a picture of Konstantin Makovsky's " Balagan " .

- You are me , my dear fellow, do not turn painting into a farce , - stern and said reproachfully to him Vladimir .

Konstantin Zhukovsky , however distantly staring into the distance.

- Can you hear me , old man ? - thundering razverznulsya Stasov .

- Huh? what ? - As if waking up , said Makovsky .

- You do not turn your painting into a farce !

- And in her turn ?

- In the midst of her people's need to convert ! - Stasov said .

- And what , then speculate on the people's midst ? - asked Makovsky .

In general , critics and artists have dispersed, and not understanding each other .

Cool . This is where ?

Maria Vasilyeva " Jesus "( Lot 64 )


I want to note that little work :
http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/l...9-f63cd024baf1


Estimate
£ 8,000 - £ 10,000
( $ 12.920 - $ 16.150 )

Leather, wood , wire , height 27 cm , Paris , 1952

In my opinion , can not but admire this fine work of M. roll with her ​​own paintings by the religious theme . Moreover, not only in the interpretation of the image of saint ( in this case, Jesus himself ), but, surprisingly , in the color decision .

It's amazing how three-dimensional thing ( made ​​the most frugal means ) was able to absorb the best and most characteristic part of the coloristic painting ! Focus is in itself not being painted with an eye to the painting, but only through a very precise selection and combination of different materials . This, I think , could not have achieved even Gauguin Picasso >

And how could by ordinary wire to recall the typical graphical early in his own painting ? Riddle ...

It's okay , lots of elephants , and I am one :-) clarify the situation, reported. I think you 're wrong in the assessment of the museum as more extensive than Pushkin .
 And if you find yourself right , so it's even better - enjoy the masterpieces at the Museum of Gorky Park Golden Gate .

Talked with local residents on the topic De Young , and found out that my bias about this museum is invalid. I apologize .
