He preferred maids to aristocrats. Jean Chardin and his beautiful paintings that reproduce the truth of life.
Chardin paid attention to the common people, which is worth a lot. One of his first popular works was a surgeon's sign. But despite all this, Chardin painted joyful and cheerful pictures, where he often depicted women and children who were quite happy with life.
An ambiguous picture by Valentin Papko, in which he made many blatant bloopers. Where is the line between kitsch and the artist's creative vision in art?

Ню Александра Дейнеки, которое и сейчас выглядит очень вызывающе.
