What is art for me?
Art is the meaning of the my life (or art is my life, if you want).
Can I be indifferent looking at what is happening in contemporary art? No, I can not!
Ancient Rome was killed. The civilization have destroyed the Barbarians.
I look at Europe as Ancient Rome. I see how the New Barbarians is destroying old world. 
I think just  religion can create civilization and we can see it.
Precisely Christianity has created the Renaissance.
You don't love Christ. You think you can live without one. Ha! Ha!
Nature abhors a vacuum.
You can not live outside the religion. Jehovah, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Allah.
Who is your God? Are you atheist? Ha! Atheism is the religion, too!
You think you have choice. No! Soon you won't choose.  
A state without the religion is as the state without an army.
Religion of the New Barbarians will be your religion, and art too.

Ilyin “The Lonely Artist”.   - I was four years old when my older brother was given colored pencils. I took these pencils and said: "I won't give them back ." And a person dear to me, my mother's sister, said: "Don't touch him, he will be an artist." (V. M.) ValentinMassow was born in 1937, on the centenary of the death of A.S. Pushkin , in the family of a provincial doctor an...
