British artist Lucian Freud is widely considered the most important figurative painter working today. Master portraitist and specialist in nudes, Freud uses impasto to create depth and intensity while restraining his color palate to mostly muted hues. His portraits may be physically unflattering to their subjects, but they are honest, frank, and unapologetic. I paint people, Freud has said, not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be. Формат: 24,5 см x 30,5 см.

Взяв за основу ключевое понятие вагнерианской эстетики Gesamtkunstwerk (в русском переводе - "законченно-единое произведение искусства"), Борис Гройс радикально меняет точку зрения на художественный авангард XX века и его отношение к так называемой "тоталитарной эстетике". Гройсовский "Сталин" выступает метафорой не преодоления, а завершения авангардного проекта, его "отрицанием отрицания", то есть, по сути,...
