Who is the best contemporary portrait?

[Черномашенцев Владимир]

Unfortunately, Khachatryan is not a spectacular artist like Rothko. He must see and be seen as Vermeer. He has written every square centimeter, square decimeter and only you can give a full picture after the increase to the size of 2x2 meters, like a modern "painters."
But he has come in middle of work, such as "Natasha". Admit.

PS Level Carlos Khachatryan shown by the fact that he was the second time since immigration to Russia became a party to the All-Russia Art. exhibition, which runs once every few years. There gets only 2-3%of artists. Strict selection, because half of the participants - thin. nomenclature in the form of management of regional alliances, folk and academics. For people without a formal title and without the support of officials - obvious talents.

He must watch and be seen as Vermeer.

No need to compare the genius and mediocrity, of course, IMHO, the artist.

Unequivocally, Vermeer is much higher than quoted than K. Khachatryan. This - unbeatable value. Yet it is not necessary to choose for comparison, one of the best paintings of the great delftiytsa and contemporary Armenian artists. Perhaps, when a hundred years, two hundred of the hundreds of works Khachatryan survive 40-50 best, like Vermeer, if one choose a strong fabric - then a comparison can be quite competitive. I give a comparison with Vermeer's only because he is one of the most beloved authority for Carlos.

Submitting your work is a average work Khachatryan, very average. Authoritatively assure you that this is indeed so - the work is mine. Here's another job for a more adequate comparison. And it is really strong - it is noticed even by untrained people (not thin. Education), but unblinkered.

Sorry, I did not see the difference.
  And the definition of "listed" in relation to Vermeer, offends my ears.
We are certainly not given to predict, but, again, IMHO, Khachatrian never raised to Vermeer. And he, Vermeer, already circulated, Khachatryan, did not go down,
can understand why.
