And you know so well Kye's biography, that can say that in parting with paintings influenced by the material factor?

Very old anecdote, art teacher gave a tramp posing in thin School. It was dark, and suddenly the coffin out of the coffin stood a dead man. Rogue scared. Lights were turned on and the tramp asked why he scared? The teacher said that he wanted to show students the frightened face. Then the tramp took a pencil and drew for all students with those filled with horror. It was Gay.
I think if Gay does not wander, but he worked, he would create a much bigger and better, and came to different results. That's how I judge the exhibition on the work of Ge. If you take his masterpiece What is Truth, there is rather poor and conflict read clever, and rich and smug, but this is socialism. All Christian doctrine is socialism. His other works fairly commonplace. These seascapes are made explicitly by the models and to order. This burp Academy. And truth is, yes!

In my opinion, the Secretary - much less literature than the same Repin in his "Zaporozhets", "Sadko," "Farewell to the rookie." And secondly, that the whole constellation of Ge Wanderers and our values ​​just in vt.pol.19. (Kramskoy, Repin, Serov) is Te showed great attention to the development of Impressionism. So there is no suspicion of painting problems - this is an extreme inattention audience.

What is impressionism Gay? Somehow I do not understand.

All the same evangelical series of Ge is already established in some other period than "Peter interrogates a son," etc. It is unlikely that he was interested in historical truth. Let's get out of stereotyped interpretations of art, and look at all the same person in three dimensions Ge: in relation not only to him not only with the general direction russ.iskusstva the time, but in the comparison of Ge-Ge and early-late.

Gay and was a representative of Russian art and his personality woven into problems faced by artists of the time. We had a family, shop, money to live on, orders, rivalry, envy, stupidity, and limited customer-nobles, etc. Peredvizhnechestvo was created to promote art among the provincial nobility and commoners. This is a fairly small number of people. Although the Wanderers tried to convey to the broader nation, but the people were illiterate and nisch. Something like this.

More of his work is rather commonplace .

And the "Crucifixion", in such extraordinary angles solvable them , too? Constantine in this topic led versions of this picture, and , in my opinion, they show only one - Ge - people outside the academic system , thinking differently, and spitting on all generally accepted standards . Can not be all the same m -th Orsay ( ?) Bought the work.

Well, there may already believe , can not, but we have a history of Russian art at the Institute of Ge was quoted remarks , showing that he recognized their quest, admired them , in contrast to Serov , who was often called " Russian impressionist " ( together with Korovin ).
Although in the works , agrees , except for attempts to convey the light and in a manner in recent years to solve the texture of tiny brushstrokes of impressionism
not enough.

Interestingly, dovezut show something to us? So too would like to ...

Did you see this is a contradiction ? Of course , the Wanderers mean.

But not so much " controversy " , but that Wanderers were not the first in that its critical , so let's say , realism, they are also not brought to painting scenes from the psychological , social, and even from somewhere in the class orientation, to them it was all already in the "Europe".
