“The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence, these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it.” - Albert Einstein

Предположим, вы заходите вмузей современного искусства и обнаруживаете на стенах картины сполосками, квадратами и кругами. Или писсуар в центре зала. Или свисающуюс потолка лопату. Что вы почувствуете в этот момент? Обиду, растерянность,злость на себя за потраченные время и деньги? Или это будет что-то похожее начувство выполненного долга культурного человека? Или наслаждение отсоприкосновения с великим? Спектр чувств, которые вызывает в нас искусство-огромен. Мы посмотрим на самые скандальные картины середины хiх – хх вв., попробуем разобраться в своих чувствах , и, главное, ответить на вопрос : Ктоназначил это шедевром?
Зачем ходить в музеи и смотреть картины? Почему,заходя в музей, я вижу на стенах картины с полосками, квадратами икругами. Этовсе что-то значит, или художник не умеет нормально рисовать? Надо лиобъяснять картины или можно просто включить режим « нравится- не нравится»?Почему « Черный квадрат» -это шедевр? Я сам так нарисую!
Если вы ходите музеи ( любите их или нелюбите) и хоть раз задавали себе эти вопросы- вам сюда. Мы пройдемся по самымзнаковым картинам хх века, попробуем ответить на часть вопросов, часть так иостанутся без ответа, и, я надеюсь, возникнут новые.

March 8 is International Women's Day. It’s a global day to recognize and celebrate women’s and girls’ social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It’s also a time to raise awareness of the progress made towards achieving gender equality and the work remaining to be done.
The beginnings of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early twentieth century. It emerged from the activities of labour movements in North America and Europe and reflected a growing call for women’s equal participation in society. International Women's Day first took place on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. That day, over a million women and men attended public events to show their support. Other countries began to observe and celebrate this day in the years that followed. The United Nations recognized 1975 as International Women's Year and began celebrating March 8 as International Women's Day.
Today, International Women's Day is a day of unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action and is celebrated in many countries worldwide.
