Open 158-е trading electronic trading platform "AI Auction".

first make one General remark: at this time, the papers collected in our catalogue cover more than half century development, domestic fine school — from 1861 to 2015.

Traditionally, the vast and varied collection of landscape works chronologically opens a small oil "Water mill" (1861) Peter Petrovich Vereshchagin — beautiful, delicate, lyrical composition, belonging to the early period of creativity of the painter, in the future, academician of landscape painting, whose works are distinguished by a mastery of perspective and the transfer of illusory space. The picture "Water mill" was established in the training period of the works included in the Academy of fine arts (1858-1865) and, as pointed out by the expert, stylistically (by the nature of the composition and the color scheme) is close to the famous landscape artist 1860-70-х years.

Like whitewashed the hot southern sun gouache Delos (1920-1924) representative of the Cimmerian school Mikhail latri Pelopidovich — is a vivid example of the species field works of the outstanding artist of the first half of the twentieth century. In 1920, with the first wave of Russian emigration Mikhail latri left Crimea and settled in Greece, where he lived until 1924. At the new location, the artist led a rich life — led the Royal ceramic factory in Athens, participated in archaeological excavations of the ancient cities of Delos and Mykonos, during which the fresh impressions, and probably have been created by our gouache.

Another example of the "otherworldly beauty" — harmonious, quite simple composition, imbued with a sense of calm and freedom of the lyrical landscape species Oleg A. Gosteva "Latvia. Saldus. Motive", performed by the author in 1950-х.

To the more familiar types of capital returns the viewer a wonderful, subtle in color and delicate in their expressive techniques oil "nikolovorobinski alley" (1994) brush Mikhail Vsevolodovich Ivanov. Artist — native son of Isaac Babel and stepson of writer Vsevolod Ivanov, who raised him, was one of the founders and permanent participant of the "group of nine", saying his first exhibition in the Khrushchev thaw (1961) about their right to decide purely creative, artistic challenges. He was very fond of Moscow and I loved the painting. "...In 1957 I write Moscow at all times of the year," — he said (source: artpanorama.su). In landscapes Mikhail Ivanov etched something very Moscow, even old, from childhood — warm, colorful, cheerful, open and native.

the Pastels from the series "Different landscapes" (1982) one of the most important Russian authors of the first half of the XX century Alexander Arkadevich Labas refers to the last period of the artist. "I tried, — wrote Labas, — to convey motion to the speed limit... I wrote quickly passing car, a plane at a close distance... In a stationary movement is also expressed. Take, for example, a birch tree with its softly hanging branches and dynamic oak, sometimes its sharp branching resembles a zipper. It grows as developing with unusual force, swinging their branches, it has lots of power, energy" (source: labasfond.ru). It is this energy of nature gives the internal dynamics makestruthful and life and our pattern.

another city skyline in our collection — lithograph "the locomotive" (2014) Oscar Yakovlevich Rabin the figure of 1957. French book-монография "Oscar Rabine — Forty years on" open this pattern. While working on a lithograph of an original drawing of 1957 was provided in workshops in Italy for compliance with the maximum accuracy and reliability. All the dies are hand-made and painted also by hand. According to legend, when George Costakis saw the figure of 1957, he so liked the story that he asked Rabin to repeat the "locomotive" especially for myself, but only oil on canvas ("You, Oscar, write with guts"). This canvas was seen recently at the exhibition in the Tretyakov gallery "Departure from the USSR", dedicated to 100-летию birthday of a famous collector.

Large (80 × 100), beautiful interior oil "Birch. Snow" (1992) contemporary artist Alexey V. Firsov — delicate in color, graceful in every line, full motion, and the frosty silence the work.

In a similar, low-key, gray-жемчужной colour scheme, contrasted by the azure glimmer of clear sky, created "Winter landscape" (1990) naive artist of Vladimir Maslov.

Autumn magic or the wind blowing the leaves, hats, refined figures of ladies in crinolines, the rain and the motionless female figure at the edge of the sheet — concise in the colour relation and unusually rich watercolor "Rain" of Tatiana B. Alexandrova. This illustration (for, alas, unknown work) interesting paper, on which it is made, — as echoed in the costumes they just drift away with delicate dresses for ladies, printed advertising sheet for ladies magazine Der Bazar in January 1895!

Genre section opens quite rare for our directory of hunting scene — oil "hunting with Hounds" (1895) the well-known St. Petersburg painter and draftsman Alexei Danilovich Kivshenko. The expert points out that "hunting genre since the early 1880-х years has occupied the main place in the work of A. D. Kivshenko, who himself was an avid hunter. Dynamic composition and ease of pictorial interpretations of the works reflect the immediacy of the perception of the artist's hunting scenes and characteristic interpretations of such stories in his work 1890-х years."

the Picturesque sketch "On the veranda" by the great landscape painter, academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts Konstantin Yakovlevich kryzhitskogo, according to the expert, the nature of the performance gives a great experience of the artist with nature: the scene on the porch briefly transferred to canvas. "This summer sketch artist conventionally depicts a landscape background, focusing on the figure in the foreground. Features of the model, in all probability, pass someone-то from the inner circle of the painter" (A. Makhotkina).

Gouache on cardboard "American panorama" (1930-е) Sergei Yurevich Sudeikin — version of the eponymous paintings of the mid-1930-х years. In 1920-30-х the artist traveled extensively in America. These trips inspired him to create an extensive series of paintings dedicated to the American heartland; to this series included our work.

figure gouache and ink on paper "Dostoevsky and the girl" IgorE. Mayorova — surprisingly delicate work. Student Marina Grigorievna Tim-Блок, the artist was deeply affected by the aesthetics of the Silver age. As a consequence, the main theme of creativity Mayorov was the seventies Petersburg — eighties of the XIX century and its inhabitants, as exemplified by our figure.

the Only representative of the genre of the Nude in our catalog this week — small bronze "Reclining" (1997) sculptor Elena Mikhailovna Surovtseva from the collection of Alexander Mironov. The female Nude is very natural, plastic and fascinates the viewer from any angle.

still life string opens "the Apple in the landscape" (1992) Igor G. Snegur — interesting combination of naturalistic Apple in the foreground and background, however, is quite typical for a representative of the Moscow underground and student of the Studio Eliya Belyutina.

"Blue flowers" (1989) Victor Semyonovich Kazarin — bright, his expression tending to abstraction floral staging, created in the style reminiscent of the works of an older friend and associate artist — Anatoly T. Zvereva, with whom the author has successfully communicated and worked in the late 1980-х years.

Description abstract works start with the composition "still life with house" (1995) Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin — author's "House in the village" in 1993.

the Uniqueness and undeniable recognition of the original author's style characterizes the work of one and the main representatives of the Leningrad underground, Evgeniy G. mihneva-Войтенко, whose latest art experiment on the comprehension of the boundaries of graphic techniques and materials presented on our auction work untitled from the series "Horizontal" (1967).

"the Color I attach the greatest importance. The color has active influence on the birth of the image, which in itself is a miracle and a revelation. Color, like musical sound, creates an emotional mood and harmonizes the inner space of the soul", — wrote the artist Elena Keller in the introductory article in the catalogue of his exhibition in the state Russian Museum in 2003 (source: forum.artinvestment.ru). It is color that distinguishes the "Blue version," 2002, done in shades of blue, yellow and orange, — one of the most colorful and festive works of this week.

Completing the description of lots 158-го of the Auction printing on metal "Phenomenon of the Kazan Mother of God on red square" (2015) Konstantin Khudyakov and Alexander Anatolyevich Sploshnov — interesting example of collaboration of two talented artists creating a deep and yet easy to read work that combines the latest achievements of digital technologies and timeless themes.

Those who are going first to buy a painting or drawing, would be helpful to know that no monitor ever authentic will not give works of art. Color, texture, not to mention the aura of a particular work, the impression from the meeting with her, the monitor is not subject. Good thing he can do at least wishy-washy, and not very good, on the contrary, to embellish (the last one we have, but it is fair to say it's worth).
