Break tradition to open each section of the scenery and talk about life. The work is graphite pencil on paper "still life with porcelain figurines on the fireplace and the reflection in the mirror" (1933) one of the best Russian artists of first half of XX century Konstantin Andreevich Somov — sketch "a Date", (1933, private collection). The picture wins an amazing mixture of elements of portraiture and still life. The main characters of this work are depicted so precisely that without difficulty discern their prototypes. Image of girl with braids, the artist used portrait study oil, written with a young artist Valeriya Bogdanova-Успенской in September 1933 to his summer house in Granville (now kept in the Museum Ashmolean, Oxford). For the young man's head, according to-видимому used one of the many drawings of Boris Snezhkovskogo, permanent sitter in the 1930 Luba-е years. Moreover, connoisseurs will surely learn Somov and still-life part of the composition. Fireplace and porcelain figurines — part of the furniture of the Paris apartment of the artist, which he repeatedly portrayed in his works. Meanwhile, the scene of Dating, despite the recognition of prototypes and the environment, — is an example of compositional skill and unique imagination of the author. The picture was a success and was highly appreciated by the artist, as soon as he was almost exactly transferred to canvas and filled with color and light coming from the left side of the invisible window and if the saving of porcelain figurines and girl look from the twilight mirror.

let us turn to the landscapes. The earliest of them today — watercolor "in Bukhara. The "minaret of death"" (1930) Alexei Nikanorovich Komarov. The figure shows the Kalyan mosque (one of the oldest in the East) and a small part of the minaret Kalyan — it is the center of ancient Bukhara, the center of urban life. Sunlit watercolor evokes the image of the national sage Khodja Nasreddin, adventure which Mosquitoes could be heard in the Bazaar or teahouses. The hero of folk legends who lived in the XIII century, it was a ride on a donkey at the footalready built by the time the Kalyan minaret, but only after 10 years of Leonid Solovyov talk about it around the world and find these amazing words: "the sun was Rising, the old, unchanging friend of Nasreddin Hodja; every morning they met, and every morning Nasreddin Hodja was able to rejoice in the sun like you haven't seen him for a year. The sun was rising, as a kind, generous God, still pouring out all grace, and all the world, thankfully rejoicing, opened to meet him, her beauty glowed and shone in the morning light — fluffy clouds, tiles of the minarets, wet leaves, water, grass and flowers;, even a simple gloomy cobblestone, forgotten and deprived of nature, even he, meeting the sun, managed to decorate myself, sparkled and shone in the fracture, as if sprinkled with diamond dust".

a species of Gallery work continues is another example of a talented, air, plein air painting — lyrical and laconic spring landscape representative of Russian impressionism Sergei Vasilyevich Gerasimov. The artist paid tribute to all the seasons, but more than others he used to write the early spring, in which images with special luster manifested his gift of a magnificent colorist. Many spring types Gerasimov, on which he worked throughout his creative activity to conquer the audience with lyricism, soft harmonious color relationships, light sensitivity-теневой development. Is no exception and our "Spring", performed by the author in 1940-50-х.

two of the artist's famous Society of easel artists represented in our catalogue, and both — landscapes. "Morning" (1954) Nikolai Fedorovich Denisovsky — subtle in color and permeated the cool air of the first dawn minutes. In ostrowskie times Denisovskaya brilliantly conveyed motion even in still life, and this skill is embodied in our small late landscapes, where moving everything from sunlight and clouds to dense grass, disturbed by the wings of soaring birds.

the figure "Transition to the street 25-го October" (1959) from the series "Moscow" Alexander Arkadevich Labas invites us into one of the nooks and crannies of the ancient town centre. The transition to the street, which is now returned to its historical name of St. Nicholas, appears to us in a wonderful urban landscape, one of those that the artist, in love with your city, write and draw all my life.

Completing the description of the landscape in tempera "Crimean landscape with pine trees" (1965) Rostislav Nikolayevich Barto, written in a restrained flavor and is filled with what-то ancient power and nobility.

a Small scenic view "After haymaking" — is rather a landscape with staffage than genre work. The picture belongs to the brush of one of the most original artists of his time — Noah Nestorovich Gedenidze. Subtle in color, executed in his favourite artist blue-розовой, interspersed with shades of green and ochre colours; it affects the rich color and texture development, as well as a feeling of lightness and a certain fluctuation of the space in which fell into silhouettes of people, trees and animals.

We rarely combine in one lot several works. But today we had just such an opportunity. To the poster "Give the motorSoviet border", printed in 1931, with a circulation a hundred thousand copies attached to original pattern — pencil sketch of the Central figure made by the author of the poster Nikolai Borisovich Terpsihorova. Creative kitchen of the artist is always interesting, and the new owner will have together with the author go from sketches to a finished thing.

In the work "untitled" from the series "Incidents" Konstantin A. Batynkov hand of the author is immediately recognizable. Branded black-белая acrylic painting, there is a hard center of attraction of composition, there are numerous small figures, there are wires that are hanging low and block the sky. But above all the huge bird flying wedge — above, people running, dogs, wires, and construction cranes, and suddenly what happened no longer seem to us as important important. Very good work of a contemporary artist. Philosophical, requiring meditation.

Completes the genre section hardboard "plein air" (2014) of Natta Ivanovna Konysheva — author's view not only on reality but also on colleagues on picturesque shop.

And again breaking the traditional order of the description catalogs AI Auctions. The following section of our catalog — works of the sixties. They were subject to any genres. When available means of expression was not enough, they created their own, and you did it so naturally that they took not only the audience but also his brother artist.

The largest size (120 × 150,5) our catalog — semi-abstract still life "untitled (Tulip)" Yuri Leonidovich Cooper, the scale of which is attached a simplified image of the flower on a neutral, like gleaming pearly tints the background of a timeless, contemplative value.

But the earliest thing, probably, "Song No. 3" (1961) in a series of similar works Nicholas Evgenyevich Vechtomova. In 1965, Leo Kropiwnicki, like Vechtomov, member of the Lianozovo group, named Vechtomova, perhaps, the only person not without the bases counted among the Surrealists.

later, in 1974, pencils, and markers Anatoly Zverev painted "horse's Head" — wonderful this pattern funny horses with luminescent eyes.

Powerful, full of energy, commitment to goals and overcoming, a philosophical painting (Yes-да, it is also his own!) seems to us on the canvas Victor Semyonovich Kazarin "Flying together" (1990). In an absolute sense — for love — everything according to a simple and quiet title.

the Song "Dedication Matushino" (2017) Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Kalinin reminiscent of the most colorful, decorative quilt, where each "flap" — is a encrypted associative way, but all together they create original work-описание, worthy of close attention.

Author's genre in its purest form — Jack "Marc Chagall" Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin.

Female beauty can be admired on two graphic sheets created in the beginning of the XX century: bilateral figure in charcoal on paper, "Standing Nude / kneeling Nude" (1910-е) Nicholas A. Stipa and pastel "Girl with domra" (1925-1927) Ivan G. Nikolaevaa.

In the same 2016 made "Portrait of Yuri Gagarin" Alexey Yuryevich Gintovt and "angel Eyes" Konstantin Khudyakov with the participation of Alexander Medvedev Sploshnov. So different, both works have similarities. Both are made in unique author's technique: Alexey Gintovt uses offset ink, gold leaf and varnish, and Konstantin Khudyakov uses the achievements of printing technology. "Angel eyes" — drawing (3/3) work on metal, and "Portrait of Yuri Gagarin", despite the author's signature 2/3, is exactly the author's version of the story, and all three options @different mdas.

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). In addition, each person sees and feels by-своему. So come see all the work with my own eyes we have, Gorokhovsky, 7 (only need to call and make an appointment).

we Wish you all a good bargain and good shopping!
