Criticism

It was not in Moscow Phidias, so will not be in it, and Jasper Johns: draft Avdeev Ter-Oganyan decorator of the capital is too utopian. Not because the proposal put up a flagpole at the pompous houses the U.S. embassy now Johns "Flag" scared the Ambassador. On the contrary, so extravagant and unprecedented in world practice, the idea of an exhibition of their very amused. Moreover, the well-known work is not a parody in relation to its prototype.
Already in 1958. French critic Pierre Restany noted that Jones deftly used the painting to get the right to set himself the flag, "symbolizing the entire American myth as a whole way of life, the hierarchy of values, approaches to world politics". As was customary to express, Jones challenged the "painting.
After 35 years, Ter-Oganyan wanted to literally translate this metaphor - expose encaustic painting of the famous pop artist test Moscow Autumn rain. By the owner of the picture, Mr. Leo Castelli did not cost and access.
One thing remained: Copy. Re-drawing of Jasper Johns and other geniuses of modernism, Ter-Oganyan put himself in the position of "post-historic" artist. For him, all these precious kunstshtyuki, viable only in saline museum walls - a new classic, much-loved, but infinitely distant and alien. His involuntary profanity masterpiece Jasper Johns - not an attempt to offend or to overthrow the master, . a consequence of almost classical in spirit of naivete and common sense, . understanding art, . when it does not serve as an adjunct of another person, . was not a symbol of an author's position, . "challenge" to anyone else, . simply portrayed the gods and adorned the city.,
. But it is undeniable that in seeking to plant their own hands the banner of the U.S. embassy and appears healthy dose of mischievous ambition provincial parvenu, a street and an outcast, who broke through to Moscow, and let time win, and New York
