"I wish that Louvre would burn down!” — Pablo Picasso, the great but unrestrained, once exclaimed, and he paid for this.
In 1911, due to these words, he was considered a suspect... in the theft of the Mona Lisa.
Luckily, the artist's innocence was quickly proven 🙌🏻

The defining artwork of the 2020s, which is still being created
Sure, friends! Those same Everydays: The First 5000 Days by Mike Winkelmann, known as Beeple, are still growing!
New artworks are not added to NFT Everydays: The First 5000 Days, but the artist still regularly replenishes his "diary"👆

Vincent Willem van Gogh, before his tragic death in 1890, sold only one painting, The Red Vineyards near Arles, for a relatively good profit.
It was purchased by the Belgian artist Anna-Rosalie Boch for 400 francs - nearly $1,000 to date.
The painting is now in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow) and is valued at around $80,000,000 🤗

Rejection of the result
Friends, even though METAMORPHOSES is finished, we're still sharing with you the details of the process. And today, it's time for perhaps our least favourite stage - rejection.
Rejection in METAMORPHOSES, as in any other similar project, cannot be avoided. Defect is everything that doesn't suit the author, even if the project looks fine to an outside observer.
For all the difficulties and laboriousness of the previous stages, we had to "throw away" the finished material.
There were different reasons for that: wrong body position, different from the rest of the characters; inaccurate head turning; accidental shadows that were not taken into account in the process; superfluous folds , or unnecessary wrinkles in clothes; clothes or accessories that we did not like in the frame or just worked badly in the light; we just did not like them on the level of feelings, without any obvious reasons.
Some characters had to be marked as defective altogether, while others partially, so that only some of the images are left of them.
Once, for example, an entire character went into the trash, as his turban was taller than the others. This prevented the composition of the frame the way we wanted it to be. Not only the footage, but also the ready-made turban, and all the accessories prepared for it, ended up in the trash.
At some point, we wanted to be less picky about ourselves and the quality. But the ruthless perfectionist living in us never agreed to this. No negotiations with him got results :)
We didn't do an exact calculation, but we can say with certainty that culling deprived us of 400-450 final images.
If we saw that repeating one shooting day would correct all the mistakes, we would set a new shooting day and re-shoot everything. Still, that was not always the case - there are characters who never came out.
Are you often dissatisfied with the results of your work, and ready to tear everything to shreds so that no one will ever see what you've "done"? 🙃

What's wrong with the fresco by the great Giotto?
Take a closer look, friends 🙃
Fresco The Adoration of the Magi (Arena chapel), by Giotto di Bondone, is already over 700 years old. It delighted, fascinated, and inspired Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo.
The founder of the Italian school of painting has never personally seen camels, but drew them from other people's stories 🐫
However, you will agree that fantasy animals do not affect the overall impression of this most skillful artwork, in any way.

The author of this famous "inflatable balloon" dog is an American artist, Jeff Koons — the highest-cost living artist, according to information from open sources.
His "Rabbit" was sold in 2019 at Christie's auction, for $91,075,000.
By the way, in 2013 the "Orange Balloon Dog" was auctioned off the same Christie’s gavel for just $58,400,000. At the same time, the Dog is several dozen times larger than the Rabbit

Michelangelo
We used to call artists by their last names: da Vinci, Repin, Van Dyck. Such a strange thing, but speaking of the Italian sculptor and painter Buonarroti, everyone calls him by his first name - Michelangelo.
At the same time, few people know that another world-famous Italian artist , surnamed Caravaggio, bore the same name 🙃
* The Delphic Sibyl. Michelangelo Buonarroti
*Bacchus. Michelangelo Caravaggio

Is it true that the price of wine, and its popularity among connoisseurs, depends only on the quality of the wine itself?🍷
Bordeaux Classified First Growth Chateau Mouton Rothschild is famous, not only for its unsurpassed taste and bouquet, but also for the fact that since 1945, popular artists have been drawing a label for it. Which makes a bottle of this wine even more valuable and desirable.
*the names of the artists can be read on the labels. Special attention to the fourth one, please 😉

Brilliantly, boldly, masterfully
Visitors to the "54 Hour Performances" project, which has recently been launched at the Folkwang Museum, (Essen, Germany), could see it.
It is curated and ideologically inspired by Marina Abramović herself - one of the most influential persons in contemporary art, and the maestro of performance art.
For 9 days and 6 hours, non-stop, 24 completely different, daring and surprising performances take place simultaneously in separate rooms.
Marina Abramovic, a professor at The University of Duisburg-Essen, has taught her students to overcome themselves: for example, an opera singer would have to peel several kilos of potatoes while sitting at a table and singing an aria; a violinist would have to play for a single spectator with her back turned; a dancer would have to tap on shards of a broken mirror.
And then someone reads aloud his personal diary, then destroys page after page, or rolls naked in chicken feathers.
Friends, are you ready to partake in a similar performance from the actionism legend and endurance art specialist Abramovic? 😉

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the oldest living world-famous artists - she is 97 (!!!) years - and one of the most prolific.
During her creative life, she created - just think about it! - more than 50,000 works 😱
The artist calls herself an obsessive painter, and, since 1977, she has been voluntarily living in a psychiatric clinic.
