Creativity Cezanne is easy to understand. The only rule of the artist was the direct transmission of the subject or the plot on the canvas, so his paintings do not cause the viewer's perplexity. Cezanne connected two main French traditions in his art: classicism and romanticism. With the help of a colorful texture, he attached an amazing plasticity of items.

A series of five paintings "Players in Maps" was written in 1890-1895. Their plot is the same - several people play poker enthusiastically. Available only by the number of players and canvas sizes.

Four paintings are stored in the museums of Europe and America (Museum of D'Orce, Metropolitan Museum, Barnes Foundation and the Kurto Institute), and the fifth time until recently was the decoration of the private collection of Greek billionaire-shipowner Georg Embyricos. Shortly before his death, in the winter of 2011, he decided to set it on sale. Art dealer William Akvavella and a glimpical name of Larry Gagosyan, who offered it about $ 220 million, who were offering about $ 220 million dollars for it by the potential buyers of "free" work. As a result, the picture went to the royal family of the Arab state Qatar for 250 million. The largest art deal in the history of painting was closed in February 2012. This in Vanity Fair reported a journalist Alexander Pierce. She found out the cost of the picture and the name of the new owner, and then information penetrated the media around the world.

In 2010, the Arab Museum of Contemporary Art and the Qatari National Museum opened in Qatar. Now their collections are replenished. Perhaps the fifth version of the "players in the card" was acquired by Sheikh for this purpose.

With his light hand it became the main domain of America. Jackson Pollock mixed paint with sand, broken glass, and wrote a piece of cardboard, masticic, knife, scoop. The artist was so popular that in the 1950s, the imitators were found even in the USSR. The picture "Number 5" is recognized as one of the strangest and expensive in the world. One of the creators of DreamWorks David Hepfen acquired it for a private collection, and in 2006 sold at the Sotheby`s auction for 140 million dollars to Mexican David Martinez.

Since the 1970s, the picture was kept in the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, but after the introduction of hard rules of morality in the country, they sought to get rid of it. In 1994, the work was taken out of Iran, and after 12 years its owner David Hepfen (the most producer who sold the Jackson Pollock "Number 5" canal) gave the picture to Milliona Stephen Cohen for $ 137.5 million. Interestingly, Hepfhen began to sell his painting collection in one year. It gave rise to a weight of rumors: for example, that producer decided to buy Los Angeles Times newspaper.

At one of the art-forums, an opinion was expressed about the similarity of the "Women III" with the picture of Leonardo da Vinci "Lady with Mornosta". For a toothy smile and a shapeless figure of the heroine, the connoisseur of painting saw the grace of the royal blood. This is evidenced by the poorly painted crown, the wedding head of a woman.

The picture was acquired by Ronald Laoupere, the owner of the "New Gallery" in New York, where it is still in this day. Not for Austria, for him Altman lowered the price of up to $ 135 million.

Its bright representatives: Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Trueman Hood and other person known in the world. At the same time, Warhol tried silkographic technology - a multiple repeat of one image. He used this method and when creating "eight Elvis": the spectator seems to see the frames from the movie, where the star comes to life. There is everything that the artist loved so much: the win-win public image, the silver color and the premonition of death as the main promise.

The first artistic experiments of Rotko were a surrealistic orientation, but over time he simplified the plot to color spots by depriving them of any object. At first they had bright shades, and in the 1960s they poured brown, violet, thickening to black to the time of the death of the artist. Mark Rotko warned against the search for any meaning in his paintings. The author wanted to say exactly what said: Only a color dissolving in the air, and nothing more. He recommended looking at the work from a distance of 45 cm so that the viewer "delayed" in color, as in a funnel. Caution: Looking for all the rules can lead to the effect of meditation, that is, gradually come to the awareness of infinity, complete immersion in itself, relaxation, cleansing. The color in his paintings lives, breathes and has a strongest emotional impact (they say, sometimes healing). The artist stated: "The viewer should cry, looking at them," and such cases were indeed. On the theory of Rotko, at this moment people live the same spiritual experience as he in the process of working on the picture. If you managed to understand it on such a thin level, then you will not be surprised that these works of abstraction criticism often compare with icons.

The work "Orange, Red, Yellow" expresses the whole essence of painting Mark Rothko. Its initial cost at Christie's auction in New York 35-45 million dollars. An unknown buyer offered a price twice as exceeding Estimate. The name of the happy painting owner, as it often happens, not disclosed.

Before the participation of Triptych, 1976 in the auction of the most expensive work of Bacon was "Etude to the portrait of Pope Innokentia X" ($ 52.7 million). In Triptykh, 1976, the artist depicted a mythical plot of the persecution of Oresta Fury. Of course, Orest is Bacon himself, and Furi is his torment.

In his landscapes, the state of nature is lightly, items as if blurred by air movement. The impression is enhanced by large smears, from a certain distance they become imperceptible and merge into a textured, three-dimensional image. In the painting of late Monet, the topic of water and life in it occupies a special place. In the town of Giverni, the artist was his own pond, where he grown pita from seeds, specially brought from Japan. When their flowers bloomed, he searched to drawing.
