In the section of Russian art early twentieth century today, we put the only work — pattern Alexander Nikolayevich Benois "the Duchess of Portsmouth", made in 1905-1906 with the same engraving 1695 French master Antoine Truvo (Antoine Trouvain, 1656-1708). According to the expert, the work of artists working for French fashion magazines of the late seventeenth — beginning of the eighteenth century, was well known and loved by Alexander Benois, who wrote that the works of the masters, depicting "in a series of craft-тонких engravings intimate life of Versailles yard... priceless for the history of life and clothing." In 1905-1907 A. Benoit worked a lot in the French libraries — such as the library of Versailles, with a large collection of engraved costumes. Obviously, at this time was made, and our drawing, which, together with other materials the artist used when working on historical research and in the design of the performances. However (experts emphasize) the figures "have all features of the author's manner of A. Benois. <...> Filled with prints, they, of course, represent the author's interpretation of the source. The artist enlivens the printing equipment, returning a fresh feeling of the original image. The nature of the transformation of the source allows to understand the peculiarities of the formation of the plastic language of graphics A. Benoit, his amazing, distinctive drawing style rooted in the art of past epochs, keeping the "echo elapsed time"".

Quite a large and diverse section made up this time of the work artists of the Russian Diaspora.

1910-20-ми years expert dates "still life" Adolf Feder. A native of Odessa and artist of the Paris school, a lot and quite seriously studied painting, Feder absorbed everything new that was seething and boiling in the Bohemian life of Paris in the early twentieth century. Feder has been exhibited in galleries and Salons, experienced the praise of critics and incredible popularity with the public, was not only an artist but also well-known and serious collector of African art, in 1931 he designed the pavilion of Madagascar at the Colonial exhibition in Paris; earlier took part in the expedition to Palestine, and then enthusiastically worked on landscapes and portraits of inhabitants of the East. Wrote still lifes, genre scenes, portraits, landscapes. Track artist ends in Auschwitz, where he was deported in December 1943. Then, as often happened, came oblivion. Today Adolf Feder returns to the orbit of not only Russian but also world culture. His legacy has not been well studied, but-таки, fortunately, survived it, works are in Museum collections.

a Thin, lively, spirited young woman's face depicted on the graphic "Female portrait" (1929) David Burliuk. According to the inscription, this portrait of the actress Esther Loess, wife of the actor of the "Worker's theatre" in new-Йорке Leonard Kopelevich-Луганова, which, as write, he was well acquainted and even friends. The inscription on the portrait of her connection to the theater "Habima" (the Soviet Habima theatre) who toured in the U.S. since the end of 1926-го until the middle of 1927, when most of the troupe returned to Europe, and from there moved to Palestine (source:ru.wikipedia.org). It can be assumed that the couple left in 1927-м with the entire cast, and left to live in the United States. The new owner of the portrait will be in contact not only with the work of David Burliuk, but also the history of one of the most interesting theatres of the first years of Soviet power, closely associated with the names of Konstantin Stanislavsky, Evgeny Vakhtangov and artist Nathan Altman.

On Canvas "Evening. Landscape with fisherman" (1920-30-е) Nikolai Kharitonov it is written, obviously, in the United States, where the artist arrived in 1923. The son of a peasant family, Kharitonov got a good art education, was awarded prizes, traveled to Russia and Europe, studied painting in Paris and Munich, he painted portraits of members of the Royal family, with great success exhibited in Russia, was the organizer, a member and participant of several art societies. In 1919-м emigrated — but not broken: he worked in Zagreb, then moved overseas in new-Йорк. Our canvas is written in "American" manner of the artist — perhaps more loose, atmospheric and, most importantly, more colorful than the style of the works created in Russia. The expert notes that "the artist liked to portray autumn foliage, streams, waterfalls, surface of water with reflections. Subtly convey the state of the strict silence of the evening river from the deserted white boat with the figure of a fisherman". And that state of silence has a strange way brings to our work a masterpiece by Peter Doig, "White canoe" (1991).

"Peasant woman with a cow" (1930-е — beginning 1950-х) brush David Burliuk as a portrait, refers to the American period of the artist. As you know, at that time, he often wrote such a small genre scenes on a Russian theme with elements of the landscape, characterized by grotesque-примитивной manner of execution, decorative, complex and vibrant colours and characteristic texture of the paint surface. "do Not forget that the series itself was originally designed for the American audience. It is linked to the desire of the artist creating the image of the Russian countryside, to use the language, say, Russian folk, not familiar to Americans, and more understandable to them and, according to Burliuk, the equivalent language of "national" American art" (V. Polyakov the Artist David Burliuk. CIT. by: Expert conclusion of the NINE them. P. M. Tretyakov coolant 10236, No. 6125-25 28 March 2017).

Etching Leopold Syurvazha — sheet from the cycle "Pegasus" (1965), based on the poetry of Jean Cocteau. The idea of the publication of Jean Cocteau's works under the title "Pegasus" (which is traditionally the symbol of poetic inspiration) came from friends of the poet. Cocteau liked the idea, and he selected ten small poems from their collections of Renaud and Armide, Neiges, Plain-chants and Seek Apollo. In October 1963, Cocteau invited me to his friends, to give them texts and the Preface, which he has specially written for this edition. However, this meeting never took place: October 11, Cocteau died. Prepared the Foreword was one of the last texts written by the poet.

In memory of the Cocteau society members Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre decided to complete this edition. The artist Leopold Survage was to each of the ten poems created by etching with the image of the mighty Pegasus. The book was published in 1965 (source: ar.culture.ru). The etchings were published in several editions, with poems on leaves andwithout them. Circulation refers to our sheet, is not installed.

In 1966 made a bright, colored drawing lithograph "untitled" from the series La Genèse ("Genesis") Andrei Mikhailovich Lanskoy. This leaf from the book of the artist on the grounds of gouaches "Book of Genesis", published Lansky at the initiative of the French Union of lovers of the book in 1966 in lithography workshop, Mourlot (Paris) (source: museum.ru).

the Next section consisted of works domestic artists of the mid — in the second half of the twentieth century.

In 1930-х years painted a lovely watercolor "Horses. The milking of mares" one of the best native artists-анималистов, Alexei Nikanorovich Komarov.

the Best works of the outstanding Soviet book graphics, painter, Illustrator Nikolai Kuzmin demonstrate mastery of the fluent, graceful stylized feather pattern; for illustrations characteristic lightness, subtle observation, humour, the ability to convey the emotional structure of a literary work. But in our catalogue Kuzmin presented a very unusual work for myself — vivid landscape "In the Park", executed in watercolor and gouache. No direct or clear line — but how many free and noble color, flowing through the sheet and slightly vibrating in the haze of the summer air!

Light touches of the pen on wrapping paper drawn undated composition "untitled (Nude)" Aaron Froimovich Buch. In this small things — movement: the complex dynamic pose of a young woman, jagged, as if vibrating, lines of the pen. The will of the artist, the model appears lively and lovely, even on fragile wrapping paper.

1960-ми years expert dates the watercolor "Girl with horse (in grey tones)" Artur Vladimirovich Fonvizin (please read about it on AI: "artist of the week: Artur Fonvizin"). "... the most important place in the works of Fonvizin takes his famous rider. How many sheets on this subject was written by the master, counting is unlikely. It is known that this issue has occupied the artist's life. His tsirkachka on horses, usually depicted outside of the specific context — for example, in a circus arena — and written conditional on a colored background or on a white sheet of paper, highlighted a little colored water. This incredible Suite is sparkling improvisatory gift of the artist. It would seem, well how many times can you write, without repeating, female figure sitting astride a horse? But the artist's imagination knows no boundaries: the rider is sitting on horses, that is, dressed in tights, the tutu, and then all half-naked! And the horses — a variety of suits in colorful cloths — are, then trotting, then it is important paced full of grace and elegance!" (Valery Silaev. A unique artist // Artur Fonvizin. Watercolor / Album-каталог. — M. : Virtual gallery, 2019).

it Opens very early, 1958, bilateral "Abstract composition" mixed media Yuri Vasilievich Vasiliev (MON). 14 Sep 1991 Ernst Neizvestny wrote: "he was He and no other, first in the terrible Stalinist times, started to study Russian and Western avant-garde. He's his cheerful freedom has treated many from the lethargy of socialist realism. A generous collector with a wide Russian scale and with a brush in the hands.

I am sure that if we now look at what he did, we see the original and bold artist, fought with the cowardly and grey time." (source: Yuri Vasiliev. MON. M., 1993. P. 71). In 1958, as recorded in a detailed biography of the artist in the catalogue published in 1993, Vassiliev worked on a new series of paintings "Tachisme": "Andromeda", "Love faileth not", "Dog sleep", and others. Our work is done in the same fashistskoi style.

A young girl, with a thick, envy, braids, dressed in that-то light, with a rose pinned on his chest, — who is she? Born whether she, as usual, a fantasy artist, or all-таки is a stylized picture of a beautiful guest?

undated beautiful and masterly in execution "Abstract composition" Lidia Alekseevna Masterkova, but it can be assumed that it refers to the period of fascination with the artist's abstraction and color, i.e., by 1960-м years.

In a string of paintings we offer to the participants on canvas "Madonna" (1970) Elia Belutin Mikhailovich. This image is very important to the author, he actually went through all of his work; pictures, separated from each other for years, even decades, in the great diversity represented in the collections of Russian museums — in Kaliningrad and Nizhny Tagil museums of fine arts, Museum-выставочном complex of the Moscow region "New Jerusalem", in other collections and private collections.

In 1973 watercolor and ink made a small but very interesting work "untitled (Abstract composition)" Sergei Mikhailovich Bordachev.

a Small figure Anatoly T. Zverev "Database names (Portrait of Velimir Khlebnikov)" made a year later, in 1981-м. Apparently, the artist made a strong impression one of the August trip, as in the second half of 1981-го Zverev returned to the image of Khlebnikov times — drew and wrote his portrait in oil. Each artist, priest Alexander Shumsky, recalled: "In August 1981, Zverev went for a couple of weeks at our dacha outside Moscow. <...> Almost every day we went to pick mushrooms and were constantly talking about Velimira poet Khlebnikov, a work which I at that time very fond of. And one late evening, an event occurred at the recollection of which I still heart-stopping. I was lying on the bed, and the painter sat on the edge of the table near an open window. Silent. Suddenly Anatoly Timofeyevich said: “There is a Persian belief that the souls of dead people can make itself felt by the appearance of a butterfly”. Scarcely had he uttered these words, as through the open window of the black starry August night flew a huge bright-красная butterfly and started in different directions to dissect the space of the room, until finally it flew under my bed. Zverev was sitting with his back to the window and could not advance to notice the butterfly. Seeing my confusion, he quietly, with an unabashed smile of a dervish, said: "Well, man, Khlebnikov arrived"" (source: rusk.ru).

Decorative designer porcelain painters of the second Russian avant-garde and those who were a little younger, holds a special place: the artists explored the possibilities of texture and color of the material, embodied it in their favorite subjects. Pictorial composition Leonid Konstantinovich Borisov, the author's plates "mother of God" (2011), is also often shifted from the canvas to the porcelain.
