new year (and Christmas) a selection of our catalogue opens ancient, Dating from the late seventeenth century, the image of the main winter St @St mdas. Nicholas. According to the expert, according to their stylistic characteristics of the image obviously belongs to the "geopodosnovy" direction in iconography of the second half of the XVII century, put into practice icon-painting Studio of the Armory under Simon Ushakov. Moreover, according to the manner of the letter, the author of the way we explicitly sought to emulate the masters of the Armoury chamber. Surprisingly, despite the fact that St. Nicholas is the most loved Russian saints, from the second half of the XVII century preserved not so many icons with his image. Our icon — quite rare example of the iconography of St. Nicholas of Myra this time.

description of the work landscape string will start with academic beautiful "Lunar landscape" (the end of XIX — beginning of XX century) artist of the late XIX century Vasily Egorovich Voronkov. Image night landscape scene is a kind of challenge to the skill of the artist both in terms of composition and choice of color palette. In our work, the artist brilliantly cope with this task, subtly and delicately passing the glow of the moon.

Surprisingly gentle, lyrical composition watercolor on paper "country cottage" (1886) Konstantin Andreevich Somov — one of the works 17-летнего artist. Watercolor made Somov two years before his admission to the Imperial Academy of arts. At the time his drawing was not systematic and creative style was just starting to take shape — especially interesting to consider this without a doubt a talented graphic work.

"the Edge of the forest" (1940-50-е) Vasily Nikitovich Kuchumov — small watercolor landscape sketch of the master of historical and landscape genre. In front of us — work is already a Mature artist, in which he reaches the maximum of expressiveness, the feeling of both immensity and infinity of the forest vistas with the help of quite concise set of graphic tools. Unlike his famous siege of landscapes of the first half of 1940-х years, our watercolor calm and balanced and breathes a sense of peaceful life.

contrast Especially compared to the harmonious, soaked in a sense of peaceful calmness of nature work kuchumova looks expressive, written in a free improvisational manner, by the perception of seeking to abstraction watercolor "Bushes (Song)" (1963) Anatoly T. Zverev, created at the very height of his creative powers. Pauline Lobachevsky said: "Amazingly acted on his nature. He entered the forest silently, solemnly, if he had come for a big and important holiday... Suddenly stopped and stared —, it was a sight of the devil or pan" (source: azbuka.gif.ru). This sense of mystery and celebration permeated our work.

an Example of pure abstraction this week is pochoir "theatrical Sketch" — reference example graphs of the first wave of the Russian avant-garde, Mikhail Fedorovich Larionov. This bright, Sunny work was created by the artist in the second half of 1910-х years in a mannerclose lucismo (rayonism), the popular avant-garde direction, which years later formed the world-famous abstract art.

Another bright abstract work in our holiday collection — "Composition" from series "Crumbs of memory of the last century" Boris I. Zhutovski. In his works he often uses non-standard scenic materials — various varnishes, etc., gives a pictorial surface of his paintings are three-dimensional, almost a relief structure. Its complex author's technique is always recognizable, and the thing itself seemed to breathe a sense of celebration. "For a little-чуть to the New, 2006-го year, I came up with the idea of — to make my lucky young and fun — on one breath. Tried — and turned. <...> Here's the beauty — directly good luck! I called them “Crumbs of memory of the last century”. Hurrah!".

the theme of the holiday returns the viewer only staged still life in our catalog this week — "Russian vodka still-life" (2016) modern Moscow artist Vera Andreevna the Elnitskaya. This bright, colorful holiday still life done in a simplified, close to naive art a manner characteristic of the artist's work.

the Genre of string opens a wonderful example of a classic hunting scenes of the early XX century — "Hunting with greyhounds a wolf" (1904) brush Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Tikhmenev. The expert notes that the story is the motive-hunting of a wolf, the manner of performance, style and imagery of the composition of our work typical of the artist, many working in the genre of hunting, animal and military genre.

a Direct relation to the New year has an interesting, multi-part and multi-graphic work "Lisbon. Portugal" was created David Davidovich Burliuk at the fresh, first impressions of the country from January 1, 1954. According to the researcher Nobert evdaev following the diaries of the artist's wife Marusya Burliuk, "Beauty "Andrea Doria" has crossed the ocean, and on December 30 of 1953, two tugs pulled her to the Lisbon docks, the burlyuks stayed at the hotelin Liberty square.

The composition is made in filigree, reminiscent of mosaics and a close divisionism fine manner typical of works of the artist. The work is striking in detail and precision and fully endowed with the usual sosnkowski surrealism and a certain sense of otherworldliness, the atmosphere of eternity, outside of time and space.

the Image of a man, strides running to the horizon, drawing the sheet "Long leg" (2002) Victor D. Pivovarov it is figurative, but the brilliant genre beginning in the work of the shaded tangible charm of surrealism.

No less fantastic, however, it looks detailed, very beautiful (and of direct relevance to the upcoming 2017-му year!) graphic sheet Viacheslav Vasilevich Kalinin "Riding a cock" (2003).

the Gallery of female images opens air, very delicate in color the watercolor "Before going on stage" (1960-е) Artur Vladimirovich Fonvizin.

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).
