Catalogue of the Auction № 314.

Opens the directory section of traditional Russian art early twentieth century. "the Staging of a costume model, — said the expert, — included in the compulsory program of study at the Imperial Academy of fine arts of the time for these tasks at the Academy of Arts had an extensive collection of antique costumes, furniture, weapons and decorative objects-прикладного art". Our catalog includes one such performance — picture "the Sitter in the costume of a warrior of the XVI century" (1900) Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev, fairly early, the training period in the Higher art school of painting, sculpture and architecture at IAH, but not the student's performance by the work of the artist. In the biography Kustodiev noted that even as a student he gained fame and began to participate in exhibitions. 1900-го (year of creation of the image) exhibited his works at the Spring exhibitions of the Imperial Academy of arts. In the same 1900-м for the painting "Festivities" was awarded a silver medal at the International exhibition in Brussels.

Tushev figure Alexander Nikolayevich Benois "the Gentleman with the lute" made in 1905-1906 year, with engravings of Jean Lepautre (Le Pautre, Jean, 1618-1682) "estans Homme a la Promenade" (1676-1678). 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) drawings "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"".

In 1920, the last year of life the artist created the picture "In the Studio" Vladimir Yegorovich Makovsky — master of the genre. This work is not painted brilliant author's humor, irony, it is rather tender and romantic. Images of the artist and women have distinct personality, so we can assume that this is not just a genre the graph, and a double portrait of the who-то of close friends or acquaintances of the artist — with such warmth and sensitivity made this small watercolor.

Next big section of the directory — the art of Soviet artists.

Watercolor "Staged the still life" (1927-1928) was established Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov, painter, teacher and art theorist, one of the first masters and theorists of the avant-garde. In a theoretical paper "Painting andelements of the" he explored the visual nature of the simplest elements of — lines, shapes, colors, the picture plane, and later, developing theoretical propositions of this study, wrote its sequel — "Thoughts about art", where he applied to the psychology of color perception. "Art — endless rhythm, artist — its sensitive resonator", — said Alexander Bogomazov his students at the Kiev art Institute (sources: encyclopedia of the Russian avant-garde: art, architecture: [in 3 volumes]/ авт.-сост.: V. I. Rakitin, A. D. Sarabianov. — M.: global Expert and Service Tim, 2013. Vol. 1. P. 74-75; ru.wikipedia.org). In our late still life, written already a Mature artist and a scientist and stylistically close to the classical paintings of the late 1920-х (see for example, "edit drink" (1927)), embodied the results of many years of theoretical research.

undated pencil drawing "woman in a headscarf" George G. Nyssa. Made precise, confident movements of a female head with modelkami to his temple and delicately tied a scarf suggests 1920-х years, but this is only our assumption.

still-life "view of the Moskvoretsky bridge" (1930-е — 1943) belongs to the last period of life and creativity Nikolai Mikhailovich Grigoriev — remarkable artist, pupil of N. Benkov and N. P. Feshin, A. Arkhipov, K. Korovin and L. O. Pasternak. Grigoriev was born in Vyatka province, and studied at the Kazan art school, arrived in Moscow almost thirty years. Member and Exhibitor of a number of creative unions — in particular, groups "the Moscow salon", "Makovets", the society of Moscow artists, Grigoryev wrote a lot of views of Moscow. His works are in the Russian Museum, Pushkin Museum im. Pushkin, art museums in Kaluga, Izhevsk, Cheboksary and a number of public art collections. Grigorieva beautiful canvases stored in the Museum of I. V. Savitsky in Nukus.

In the late 1940-х years painted a large watercolor of the "ball Scene "Eugene Onegin"" Alexander Mikhailovich Gerasimov. The artist turned to the theme of Pushkin in the 1930s-х, and in 1940-х, and in 1950-х (see "Gerasimovsky Pushkiniana"). In 1949, for the anniversary of the six-volume, prepared for the 150-летию poet, Gerasimov completed illustrations for "Eugene Onegin", 6 of them were included in the publication. It is obvious that the artist working on the illustrations, search for and select subjects. Presumably, our watercolor illustrates the eighth Chapter of the poem, but the artist later left the story without elaboration, — is the scene of the ball where Onegin "was, like Chatsky, from the ship to the ball." The huge hall and "the crowd" Gerasimov chose a warm, intimate, rustic ball at the Larins.

In 1952 written "still life with a portrait of van Gogh" Victor Markovich Midler. Student of K. Kostandi and G. A. Ladyzhensky at the Odessa, pupil of A. V. Kuprin, I. I. Mashkov, R. Falk in Moscow, Midler had a real thirst for life and startling interest for her, sincerely happy with the beauty of the world, which was reflected in his drawings and paintings. He was passionate about learning, work in those amazing places where brought to his fate. "a Huge role in his work played a business trip in 1927 in France and Germany on the instructions of TG to study the performances of museology, modernthe art and creativity of Russian artists working abroad.

Now V. M. Midler with all the depth and fullness could perceive the tradition of the French school of painting that had such a profound influence on Russian art of the early twentieth century and the interest was great from the artist since the exercises in Odessa, Kostandi and Ladyzhensky.

Not only as a curator and scholar of art, but above all as a painter he established for himself a living link between artistic phenomena.

<...>

in 1928 In Moscow there was held the exhibition of modern French art, and one of the organizers it was V. M. Midler. Being with 1924, a member of the artistic group “4 of art”, he did a lot of comparison to the latest Russian and Western research, aiming to identify and emphasize both the uniqueness and commonality psychological factors that characterize the perception of the modern artists. The traditions of Russian realistic painting seamlessly floated into his creative consciousness with the findings of Western masters.

<...>

the ABCs of beautiful craftsmanship never tired and did not bother him. Rouault, M. Vrubel, Watteau, Cezanne, Poussin, Picasso, Derain — such different masters troubled the artist throughout his life. It wished to comprehend the elements of their pictorial language that was in tune with his personal worldview. Therefore, features of formal pictorial language V. M. Midler are not striking and don't form a coherent picture of his evolution as an artist. His "multilingualism" does not obscure the personality of the master, inquisitive, a keen artist who says his word softly, but accurately and succinctly" (source: artpanorama.su). Our canvas — is a kind of dedication, but not what-то or anyone-то one, but at the same time a lot of people, phenomena that has attracted and thrilled him in different years.

the Following landscape — small cardboard "Summer clouds" (1976) Elena Nilovna Yablonskaya. Work with a very dynamic composition and complex, bold color solution: dark-зеленой ground in the forest thickets and dense violet night the remnants of clouds, the artist masterfully sets off a pink glow of light pre-dawn clouds, which rapidly disperse the first rays of the sun.

the largest section of the directory dedicated to the works of the sixties.

Printed graphics of the sixties — is a huge world, the world of classical techniques and experiments, world of virtuoso masterpieces and inconspicuous at first glance, philosophical compositions. In our current catalog includes a small lithography "Abstract composition with gauze" (1964) Yevgeny Leonidovich Kropivnitskogo — elegant minimalist geometric composition, interesting game and a variety of textures.

Dynamic composition, restrained colour and noble combination of colors is quite early canvas Model "in the gray tone" (1967) abstract expressionist Mikhail Alekseevich Kulakov. Read on AI biography the artist and his letter chief-редактору AI.

Gouache landscape "Bloody sunset" (1972) Lidia Alekseevna Masterkova — extremely rare for the artist figurative work, besides more and the landscape. A talented colorist, Masterkova a little workconveys a huge range of fast-changing colors of the passing of the winter sun.

In 1975, before the exile, is written on canvas "Night cows" Oscar Yakovlevich Rabin. Subject it is more than concise: the barracks, a huge moon, snow and cow. Winter, all shades of iridescent mother-of-pearl Rabin's grey colors of the urban landscape. The barracks and the cow (by the way, she makes the winter's night on the street?) indirectly talking about the presence of a person, and if the barracks (very important image for the artist) create an atmosphere of bleak wretched existence, the cow, let the skinny and what-то unsettled, as, indeed, all around, makes this atmosphere of hope for a warm and meaningful life. Emotionally it is Rabin's work.

In a large number of artists other art Slepyshev Anatoly Stepanovich, perhaps, had no equal in color, to illustrate what is a very small canvas "Farewell" (1979). Interesting plot, tight, but very dynamic composition and a very unique and bold color scheme work and put it in some of the most interesting works of our current catalog. You can, of course, to write that the author in perfect harmony gathered on the canvas with scarlet, a whole range of shades of pink, orange, terracotta, brown tones, but such films as "Farewell", you need to see with your own eyes.

One of the absolute top-лотов directory — "Portrait of Velimir Khlebnikov" (1982) work Anatoly T. Zverev. 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). By-видимому, talk about the poet and described the scene made the artist a strong impression in the second half of 1981-го and later Zverev repeatedly appealed to Velimir Khlebnikov, made several charcoal drawings and painted the oil portrait.

a Complex, multicomponent, with a large number of different materials composition "Guitar" (1981), — according to the expert, — "typical work Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin its series of works with a guitar and geometric shapes in which he pays tribute to the masters of Russian avant-garde. Artists-новаторов 1910-20-х years guitar, because of its specific form, played a special role in the structures of composition. Suffice it to recallLove Popov or Hope Udaltsov. Have Nemukhin is not only a continuity with the great masters of the avant-garde, but the attempt of dialogue, development, reinvention, moving forward".

"still life. Copper objects" (1985) Igor V. Kislitsin — refers to the early cycle of works of the artist Post Tenebras Lux (1973-1985). Still lifes and landscapes of this period is marked by a certain degree of raseliniste, giving space and form to the specific ambient illumination.

undated wonderful sculpture "untitled" of Vladimir Lemport — group member Loess (1954-1968), uniting three friends-единомышленников: Vadim Sidur, Nikolai Silis and Vladimir Lemport. The work confirmed with the photograph and attesting signature of the nephew of the artist with the sculpture in our hands, taken in the Studio of the author.

Contemporary art in the main catalog is a little funny and completely snowless canvas "the Snowman" (1963) of Natta Ivanovna Konysheva. Maybe we had it before to set, finally, in Moscow the snow is gone?
