(161 words) Art can be called a reflection of reality with the help of artistic and symbolic images.
The author of this text is Yu.O. Dombrowski recalls the story of the artist Khludov, a little-known, but creatively gifted. Famous art critics did not like his work: paintings were not painted according to canons. The author tried to write an article about Khludov, but there were almost no materials in the public domain. Why did he go unnoticed? Perhaps no one wanted to see the world through his eyes. Art historians are accustomed to analyze work, and not to listen to their feelings. Y. Dombrovsky soon realized: Khludov lived in the present and therefore was not afraid to paint with bright colors. Is this not the most important thing for a creative person?
Recall the work of A.I. Kuprina "Taper". In a thin little boy, hardly anyone could see a great musician. But, when he began to play, the audience froze with delight. They saw before them no longer a poor tapper, but a man of art, a wizard who could draw whole pictures with the help of music. The hero was noticed by a famous composer and took care of his future.
Thus, real art sooner or later still finds its connoisseur.
Movie example. One of the documentaries about the life of Vladimir Mayakovsky claimed that the poet's poems did not meet with rave reviews from representatives of the intelligentsia of the 1920s. The poetic dimensions were too unusual, the metaphors seemed too bold. Only with time did people realize that a genius lived next to them.
An example from life. Everyone knows the name of Vincent Van Gogh today. It is all the more difficult to believe that once the artist lived in poverty. His paintings did not cause interest among buyers, they were in no hurry to acquire them for exhibitions. But still lifes written in rich colors still uplift the mood.
An example from the media. The Rossiyskaya Gazeta regularly publishes news on exhibitions of young artists. Most often they are carried out at experimental sites. People prefer classics and proven hiking trails. And why not expand the boundaries and go to a new art gallery? Perhaps right before your eyes there will be a birth of genius.
