Soviet, Russian art 1930-1980 years

[Евгений]

Soviet painting is a history of already non-existent state, but it is always only will contribute to price growth ...
-------------------------------------------
...... painting of this period is underestimated . Market was not , they wrote something on the state order , something to the show , and all the rest of the time - for yourself, for your soul , for the joy of daily work . In the West, many collectors perceive these paintings as Neo . Sketches "for itself " the official picture can be quite stunning .....

There may be a consideration.
Buying a painting of the sixties or the early twentieth century avant-garde, you already imagine the dynamics of the events (prices). And the only question is, strongly jump (at times) or quietly (15-30%).
Soviet period, more risky, and generally can not jump. And if you jump (that's me all about the price), then how long? Year? Ten?
But in general I do not understand who might be interested in the same farmers and workers? And by the way, came here on a wonderful picture.
Bitter reads a fairy tale "The girl and death. I am reminded of the painting "Hunters in camp." What are the different people who hear it.
Eugene, rate it please.

In my opinion, this is one of the most promising and interesting directions in the art business.
Avant-garde, nonconformists, it's also good for collecting areas, but first, the choice is very small ... and secondly (and this is important), the problem of fakes .. but for beginner collectors this will be an unsolvable problem ...

A.N.Yar-Kravchenko, 1941

And by the way of socialist realism. Once watched a film about Nazi Germany and there was a story about Nazi art. I was struck by a complete similarity with our Stalin's. Those inspired faces of the leaders against the backdrop of labor feats of ordinary people.
Question - and German realism of those years are in demand in Europe? Who knows? If yes, then perhaps you can draw parallels.

Eugene, in the magazine The Director-info at one time preparing a review article on your question: http://www.directorinfo.ru/Article.a...98&iid=643
Article oldish, but the ideas do not change.
In socialist realism, too, is conditional first names: Alexander Deineka, George Nyssa, Viktor Popkov, Tair Salakhov, Yuri Pimenov course (remember the woman from behind the wheel of the machine in the film "New Moscow"?). Now the city with posters of works from the Tretyakov Gallery is decorated - at somewhere already seen Deineko type "future pilots".
These people are mindful of masterpieces. But in general, need otnrositsya very balanced. It often happens that the name loudly, and work perfectly prohodrnaya, many sketches, things nabrosochnyh, unfinished. In general, the name-the name, but the first thing one should pay attention to the quality of work. Socialist realism regarding the topic of fashion, but you should not fool ourselves. It is not contempt for "a social" and "realism", just IMHO the most part, weak wingless painting. Summary: You can invest, but masterpieces. They, incidentally, and auctions are already th-th - at the expense of hundreds of thousands.

Sergeyitch, so surprising. Totalitarian art, and here and there. It is a natural process. Unhealthy children were building their new perverted "religion", and cultivated the idea of superiority, why it was necessary to crush the freedom of art (in Germany destroyed the "degenerate art", we have struggled with the formalists, destroyed the avant-garde and modernist), well and at the same time degraded the traditional church (but that's another story). So strong brave men, the ideal or perfect Rass builders of communism, parades, "Olympia" and "Triumph of the Will" laziness riffenshtal, gigantism in architecture - so it must have been like.

Conversation and is naturally of the people, the first of Stalin academicians ..
Volodya for an article, a special thank you to you .. it has long been dismantled into small quotes .. One of the best articles on the topic ..

Eugene, honestly say Stalinist academics difficult to perceive outside the context of the time and the conditions in which they worked. For foreigners - is exotic, but for us must pass five generations, to perceive them objectively, IMHO. Is not it?

Or, in interesting combinations: left Johanson - right Bugaev Africa with regards Johansson

This combination of interesting ...
For the bourgeoisie, the Soviet painting long not exotic, and business ... and all without any political zamorochek.Dlya me this is also just business .. kommunyak do not like and never liked ...
Soviet painting is a history of now-defunct state, and it always will largely contribute to price growth ...

in Basel, the exhibition saw the work of Vladimir hudzhnika Shinkareva as you think, how promising onovatel Mitki in terms of investment? Interestingly, it is estimated today by specialists?
