Description landscape section, let us start with one of the most interesting lots directory — painting "Urban HOMESTEAD spring" (1908) celebrated master of genre and portrait painting Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev. Researchers of creativity of the artist note that "lyricism of the ancient urban and rural corners that keep the spirit of the past time, the old traditions and way of life attracted masters" and so heartfelt provincial types devoted not to one of his work. The style of our landscape relates to kustodievskie field work 1890-х — 1910-х years. Despite its chamber dimensions, "the Urban HOMESTEAD spring" — is completely finished, detailed painting, not inferior to larger works.

the City theme is continued in a simple graphic landscape, the station (1964) ideologue of the "Lianozovsky group" and representative of non-conformism Yevgeny Leonidovich Kropivnitskogo.

Watercolour "Village. Home" (1990) painted the famous author of "the Raftsmen", one of the founders of the severe style, Nikolai Ivanovich Andronov belongs to the later period of the artist, and probably written either from nature in the village Uskovo, Ferapontovo, where the author lived for months, many years or by Ferapontov field experiences. Among connoisseurs of the artist's work there is even an opinion that "late" Andronov lost the original thematic breadth of his interests and withdrew only on the St Ferapont monastery. And this opinion is not groundless: in 1973, the Andronov family purchased in the village Uskovo, about Ferapontov, old wooden house, and since then, types of villages and the surrounding area become an integral part of the landscape of the artist. About his creative method of the author said: "Afraid to disturb the natural course, feel at first subtle, then more and more clear, the color plans. As well as all — in easel painting, monumental things, and in the picture my goal and professional dream — work plans... Here is a corner of the hut stuck in the distant black forest birdhouse podkidyvaet, swaying in the wind@the semicolon at dusk there dogs anxious slivaut, and the human world is awash with worries of tomorrow. And all this should fit in a sheet of paper, the sheet is fragile, do not tolerate violence, and besides, strictly rectangular" (openklub.ru). Multifaceted, complex in design and inexpressibly tender and lyrical looks done in muted brown-серой scheme landscape "Village. Home" (1990).

Another rural view — kind of landscape, almost a portrait, with a very characteristic "Potato harvester" (2001) Alexander Vladimirovich Ishin of the Moscow collection of Alexander Mironov. Our picture — part of a large series of such "portraits" of combines, tractors, bulldozers, etc., depicted in the brand "ishinskaya" style.

From a rural species go to the species landscape sketches, the first in a series which is a small oil on cardboard "Landscape" Fedor Semenovich Bogorodsky. The work, written in a close academic manner, most likely in the late 1950-х years.

Bright, extremely simplified composition with markers on paper "Boat" (1995)hands Vladimir Igorevich Yakovlev — remarkably thin and light for the perception of a line drawing, combining the ideas of freedom and, oddly enough, loneliness, lonely ship, drifting towards the horizon.

Completes the infinity string "Coast of Aphrodite" (2001) contemporary artist and masters of simplified, generalized form of Irina Starzhenetskaya — is large, colorful, but nevertheless unmistakably recognizable image of one of the most beautiful parts of the Cyprus coastline.

Genre section of our catalog opens as always is full of living, descriptive, grotesque details close to the style of naive art composition oil on hardboard "Izmailovo" (2006) of Natta Ivanovna Konysheva.

From the first glance recognized the hand of the author in a small, powerful illustration ink on paper "Mother of water" (1971) Eugene Iosifovicha Chubarova; this drawing belongs to a series of sketches — memories of growing up in the Bashkir village, presedence in the war.

the Theme of women at work continued in the master field drawing graphite pencil on paper Alexander Davidovich Drevin "Armenia. Women in the garden" (1933-1935). Trip to Armenia, as is commonly believed, had a significant influence on the artistic style of one of the leaders of Russian avant-garde 1920-х: increasing importance in his works acquired the drawing, composition which became more linear, clear, easily "readable" in contrast to earlier and very expressive works. On the back of the picture made a pencil portrait of the artist's wife Nadezhda Udaltsova.

Theatre schedule in the catalog is a colorful, detailed graphic sketch of "Five Polish women's costumes" (1926) Mstislav Valerianovich Dobuzhinsky. The expert stressed that our drawing is of type multi-figure sketches of theatrical costumes mvdobuzhinsky, having a solid plan: mapping of characters on one sheet always takes into account the rhythmic structure of the silhouettes of figures, gestures, decorative items, and coloring of garments. The sketch refers to the period of the trip Dobuzhinsky from Kaunas to Western Europe (1926-1928) in search of work. At this time, the artist and his family lived mostly in Paris and worked mainly with the theatre-кабаре Nikita Baliyeva "Blue bird". At the same time he performed odd jobs for theater performances of other troupes.

the Gallery of female images reveals cast aluminum sculpture "Mother and child" (1981) Vadim Abramovich Sidur from the collection of the artist's family. The theme of family, womanhood and motherhood — is one of the most important for him. She is dedicated to the most lyrical works made on paper and (especially) in the material. Elegant, terse composition "Mother and child" embodies the very idea of motherhood in which the mother figure like includes a small figure of a child.

a Very small graphic "portrait of a lady in a fur coat" (1932) Alexander Vasilyevich Shevchenko reveals the artist's talent not only as a portraitist, but also as a gifted painter.

is Not known, on order or out of friendship Anatoly Zverev wrote "portrait of a man" (1965), but its inscription "In memory" on the back suggests rather the second. Written in a recognizable manner,a portrait of a deeply individual, reflects the psychological and personality traits and character of the model.

Image not specific to human shapes, but bright, abstract humanoids have long been the hallmark of the modern Russian-американского artist Dmitry Vladimirovich Strizhova, the author of the huge ornate oil "Man in the landscape".

Draw sheet "Confrontation. 38" (1977) Mikhail Mikhailovich Shemyakin is one of the main artist of the series "Carnival of St.-Петербурга", over which the artist in various techniques and formats — from the heavy paintings to small prints — worked for nearly three decades. "Studying fanciful masks of Africa, Oceania and Ancient Mexico, I found out their noses, grimaces and shapes they strikingly resemble the masks of Comedy Del-арте and buffoons of Ancient Russia. The study of amphibians, beetles, frogs, and works of Granville helped me to see the similarities with the clown and the human characters. The result is a carnival of colors, characters, feelings!" — said the artist about this cycle (source: shop.mihfond.ru).

String of abstract works opens acrylic and collage on paper "Composition" (2001) bright representative of the Leningrad underground Leonid Konstantinovich Borisov — the present study the interaction of space and form.

the Following abstraction — interesting painting "Composition" (1967) brush Hulot Ilmar Sooster of Johannesovich. "It worked amazingly, — wrote about Austere Anatoly Brusilovsky, — experiments with form and color fan out of-под his hands and covered all the space of the dingy room. His hands were constantly in motion, if they were than-то busy, he tapped the rhythm with his foot. From it came the sound of creativity" (source: art4.ru). The same "noise art" can perhaps be felt in our work.

Completing the description of works 155-го AI Auction a pair of original floral arrangements. Lithograph "Crudeliter Basiantes Tulipa (Tulips-губы)" from the "Surrealistic flowers" (Florals/Surrealistic Flowers) (1972) by Salvador Dali — perfect example of the surreal views of the author of the surrounding world in which the familiar still life a bouquet of flowers becomes recognizable anthropomorphic traits.

"still life with a bouquet of roses and books on the table" (1940-50-е) David Burliuk executed in oil on plywood and refers to the American period of the artist. According to the expert, it "certainly shows the influence of van Gogh, one of the favorite authors David Burliuk" (V. Rybakov). Still life decorative, different expressive textured brushstroke and vivid color combinations.
