the typical russian question
. People know really nothing about art. No! art of any passed
times unknown for them the same well as art of our days. They have heard
some names and sometimes are able to repeat several descriptions and definitions
which was put in their brains in primary school. It happens, some of them
know that Dali had long moustache, Picasso painted 'Hernika', and da Vinci
was the most genius artist of about 15-16 century, it's a lot. Sometimes
people buy pieces to put them to the wall in the hall, kitchen, or bedroom,
good for their image and mood. Well, but however true information
about ART hit after hundred doors from billions of people! Pity! But most
of them even have no idea how poor they are!
WHY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ART?!
Because the Institute of Arts History, of Russian Academy of Sciences collected all knowledge about Art in the only hands, and hit them from other people!
Institute should share!
Action of Protest, and Ultimatum
to the Institute of
Arts History:
Ultimatum was handed to Director of Institute of Arts History Tatiana Kliavina.
It was promised that Institute will share hit knowledge during ordered
time.
BUT IT IS NOT DONE STILL
