Russian painting XIX century painting brought Nikolai Makovsky « Street in Cairo "in 1884 (estimate 6 - 8 million rubles). She was inspired by the joint Travel brothers Constantine and Nikolai Makovsky in Egypt. The charm of the East was so great that both the artist for several years continued to paint landscapes and genre scenes, the action that unfolds on the streets of Cairo.

One of the masterpieces of upcoming auction - painting a bright landscape, Russian follower of Cezanne Nicholas Krymova . His work in 1926 the Lake "(estimate 7-9 million rubles) is a copy by painting" Bathers "(1920) from the collection of Novokuznetsk Museum of Art. This story appeared in the artist in the early 1910's. In compositions with bather Krymov serves as an excellent stylist and improviser. Absolute randomness compositional landscape resembles the modern viewer a cinematic or photographic image, and the softness of color solutions brings to mind quickly shifting images of sleep.
Another top lot at auction - a small sketch brush Konstantin Somov, a rare early work of his "summer in the country, made in 1897, during the same period, when he wrote his famous painting" Twilight in the old Park "and" Bathers ". Apparently, the study was established in the preparatory work on the canvas "confidential," the same in 1897 from the Tretyakov Gallery. In both papers can be traced to specific features Luba: an unusual angle (the characters are shown with a bird's-eye view), female figures in the foreground and stretching landscape. Melancholic mood to study "the summer in the country is estimated at 2,8-3,2 million rubles.
No less interesting and the early graphic thing Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (estimate 1,5-1,8 million rubles), made in the early 1900's under the influence of Russian Symbolism and Art Nouveau. Watercolor "Birds Fly" refers to a series of sketches that the artist was doing during the work on his unpublished literary works, but it is not an image, and the image which has arisen in the minds of the author in a literary plot.
The most monumental work of Sterling Soviet painting - painting" The opening of the Volga-Don canal "(estimate 7-9 million rubles), written by famous Infantrymen Peter Krivonogova , one of the major artists' studios M. Grekov .
Another software product, not only for socialist-realist paintings, but also for Soviet history - Lenin on the balcony Mossoveta brush Dmitry Nalbandian. Apparently, this is one of the original versions of the famous 1962 "Lenin's speech from the balcony of a building in the Moscow City Council in 1919. Six-meter painting for many years graced the walls of the building of the Moscow City Council, now the Moscow City Hall on Tverskaya street, but in the early 1990's it was taken down and roll it into a roll. Auctioned sketch (estimate 3-3,5 million rubles) was signed by the author in his last years, and possibly the date "1970" presented by the artist on the back board, is not true.

However, the majority of works of Soviet period, which will be presented at the auction politically uncommitted, it is expertly made landscapes, lyrical still lifes and accurately noted by scenes from ordinary life. There is a theatrical work - for example, a sketch of scenery for "La Dame aux Camelias," made by Yuri Pimenov, author of the cult Soviet film "New Moscow". Preserved sketch "Ball at the Olympia" (estimate 6-8 million rubles) Pimenov to an unrealized production of "La Dame aux Camelias" in 1946 at the Theatre of the Red Army, gives an idea of making theatrical expressiveness of the artist, his talent set designer. Describing it as a theater artist, actress and director Maria Knebel says: "He worked in theater as a joke. He is accustomed to the laborious efforts easel, it was fun to invent a decorative image of the play ... Artistic Image Pimenovsky scenery was a synthesis of our joint quest and always enriched the director's design ».
