"The daughter of the artist, the artist’s wife, - I’ve been spinning in the world of canvases and colors all my life, always stumble about the placed easel, always curses on the dominance of the slip and bottles with the Drummers ... This is all mine since childhood: I am a model, I and me and me Cleaner, I am a listener and a spectator. Seriously believing that in this area I know absolutely and thoroughly everything, I began to think about the plot ...
Once my husband and I ended up in the company of auctionists and experts. The noisy and funny was a feast: dozens of auction tanks. It was a time, the beginning of the century, when the auction houses of Europe and the world were littered with skillful fakes for Russian artists: Shishkin, Serov, Levitan and Korovin, Kuindzhi ... Well, Malevich, and Kandinsky, of course, in a word - for every taste. And each of the guests, interrupting the other, was in a hurry to tell some more amazing, anecdotal, or even criminal story. In those years, the scandalous process over the artist Van Meegeren was already widely known, who has successfully faked the paintings of great artists for decades, leaving experts in the fools of experts.
We drove home in complete silence. I digested what I heard, my husband was also silent about something.
"Is it really so easy to deceive experts?" I finally asked Boris.
"experts - easily, - he answered thoughtfully. - Few of them really understand in the deep, artisan essence of art. All these guys you saw today are just former boys and girls from the faculty of art history. None of them know what is happening with the colors when you mix them on the palette, and then what happens to them on the canvas, after years the hundred years ""
