Reflections on Art and Life Automatic translate

Recently in London, at the famous Tate Modern gallery, I went to an exhibition of the famous Juan Miró. The exhibition occupied twelve or even thirteen rooms. I had the impression that it was arranged in chronological order, because of the striking difference between the paintings in the first room and the last two.

The first room seems to contain paintings from the period when the artist was still making his way with his talent. As far as I remember, there were clearly distinguishable portraits, the whole “oddity” of which consisted in the unnaturalness of the colors. By the eleventh or twelfth hall there was nothing meaningful left - on the walls hung children’s “kala mala” with burned holes. In the last room, two almost identical paintings hung side by side - a white background and a long pencil stroke. As one of my acquaintances said, the main thing in these paintings is Miro’s signature. That is, the artist has already become famous, and now he can afford to relax and make “a little” money.

Not so long ago, two or three years ago, I got my hands on a children’s book by Tamara Kryukova. It was called, I remember, “Potapov, to the blackboard!” There I came across such a situation: the hero, a teenager, sees some impressionist paintings in a gallery and decides: “I can do the same”. That thought has crossed my mind, too. And I am not alone. Something similar reigns on modern television.

Everyone now knows that the best way to fame is to be epathetic. Hence the mate, striptease and dresses made of raw meat. Because man, since he is descended from an ape, is not closer to faith, conscience and tradition, but to something more clear and simple - his own “self” and entertainment. If you think about it, this is the same reason for the popularity of atheism, paganism and matting on fences.

Progress… Easier living conditions, new rules, new values. The strongest, the most popular, the most promoted wins. Or the one who made a loud scandal in time to bring him fame.

It is not necessary to say that “times are like this”. There are simply more opportunities now, but the same thing has always been there, albeit on a smaller scale.
