Opens the directory a sketch of the costume of Berendeyka to the Opera N. Rimsky-Корсакова "the snow maiden", made Konstantin A. Korovin in 1928 for the first production of "Private Opera in Paris." Author's droppings in the figure indicates that this festive women's costume designed for the prologue of the Opera, which Berendei wires having fun at the carnival and meet Spring. Our Berendeyka — young girl (headband and scarf — details of the maiden suit), dressed in festive dress, the upper part of which is closed beautiful embroidered desagree.

One of the most interesting works catalog — "Collage of the virgin Mary" (1930-е) Russian artist of the Paris school Maria Ivanovna Vasilyeva (see: "artist of the week: Maria Vasileva"). Religious compositions of this creative period in different techniques, a number of which included our work, the artist often mentions in his memoirs, noting that the image of our lady in demand (especially in times of crisis). In our work, the artist uses a number of techniques decorative folk-прикладного art, which she was deeply interested, and which was a true master.

Watercolor "Landscape with wheat sheaves" (1953) Alexander Nikolayevich Benois, according to the expert, "perfectly captures his unique style of working with watercolor". It is known that at the time of his creative maturity Benoit often painted landscapes, not only on field experience but also on memory. And who knows, maybe a small watercolor, presented for auction this week, not only reflects the reality surrounding the artist, but also is a kind of window into a far bygone past, filled with numerous rides and experiences.

Lithography "the Coronation of the forms" (1963) Alexander porfiryevich Archipenko is a sheet from the folder Les Formes Vivantes ("Living form"), containing 10 tracks and released in Switzerland in 1963, edition of 75 copies.

is Quite substantial and interesting content this time was the the Soviet art of the first half of the twentieth century.

it Opens with a charming little watercolour "moonlight night" (early 1920-х) — "the characteristic Maximilian Voloshin from the series of watercolors with views of Koktebel, — said. — It is written in a refined and harmonious manner with a special, poetic and mystical, "woloszynski" mood and status".

Since the early 1920-х years, the artist Alexander Davidovich Drevin, the author "Evening landscape" (1928-1929), in search of inspiration and new forms of nature, made several creative trips — from Moscow to the Altai mountains, each of whichsubsequently embodied in separate scenic loop. Creative trip to the Urals in 1926-1928 given to the artist material for an extensive "Ural cycle" and work "Altaic series", created on motives of travel to the Altai mountains in Eastern Kazakhstan, was shown at the famous exhibition of group "13" in 1931.

the Expert notes that "Evening landscape" "in all probability, refers to a series of landscapes of the Altai, made A. D. Drevenym in 1928-1929, and depicts the neighborhood Totaly". In 1927 the village of Tudela — "one of the most visited by vacationers places of Altai, located in 260 km from Biysk and 202 km from the Fast Source (Marina Obi)";, local historians have collected and published the remarkably interesting story of the village and stories about him (vtourisme.com), and even if the artist had the opportunity to travel to hear at least a small part of these stories, they had of course to enlist Tutalo.

About the years of hard creative searches of the artist wrote: "I have dealt with the environment limits for yourself. And always astounded me is that things don't reach the goal. Not everything that I write only from nature, is a work of art... Since 1930, I tried to write the same nature, but in the Studio, and strangely, she began to turn gradually into something else; nature disappeared, and the language of painting intensified, it created another reality" (source: artinvestment.ru).

the Author of a portrait "Nura" (1935) Nikolai Borisovich Terpsichore received a good artistic education: in the years 1911-1917 he studied painting at the art school of K. F. Yuon and I. O. Dudin in Moscow, she continued her studies at the school of painting and drawing NR. Meshkova, Moscow school of painting, sculpture and architecture under the guidance of N. A. Kasatkin, A. Vasnetsov and K. Korovin (ru.wikipedia.org). However, he was a brilliant representative of the picturesque aesthetics and consistent supporter of the ideology AHRR, one of the organizers and participant of all exhibitions. Even more interestingly, our work in 1935, executed in a realistic style, perhaps, almost devoid of ideological overtones. Almost — because the look of the girl in the bright suit is too serious, no jokes, which is sure to be slid in the eyes, if the girl struggled to restrain a smile, and because his hands are stacked on the-взрослому: so peasant work-worn hands folded, trying to hide them from prying watchful eyes. And only the name of the picture — "Nura" — issues in models of ordinary village girl, not yet grew to a more adult name.

1930-40-ми years expert dates a little work "Collection of potatoes" the Nadezhda Andreevna Udaltsova and notes that "the work is characteristic of the Mature period of creativity of N. Udaltsova. Works of the artist of this time (1930-е g) often represent a small full-scale genre scenes, characterized by the generalization of the shape, saturated color and textured dynamic brushstroke)".

Adjacent to the works 1920-50-х years "self-portrait in a hat" (1961) Okorokova Valentin Mikhailovich. When discussing his artistic career researchers usually distinguish two crucial phases: tallinsky and belyutinskoy. And seemingly nothing in between.

the Artist-самоучка with the drawing skills acquired in Moscowhigher technical school, in the mid 1910-х — early 1920-х worked in the Studio of Vladimir Tatlin and practiced in the workshop of Rodchenko, was familiar with Malevich. Then went to his home in the town of Kozlov, where he worked as a "Commune Kozlowski creative artists", founded by Sergey Gerasimov, participated in dozens of exhibitions. (artinvestment.ru).

About 1925 Ham settled in Lianozovo near Moscow, graduated from Moscow art class-графиков and entered the service in Moscow. Often, however, instead of having to pore over book illustrations, he experimented. The fruits of these experiments is not only profitable, but over time became threat; work 1930-40-х years no one except the closest friends, not seen. If 1920-30-е years he was interested in typical for that time tasks of an adequate image of the Overspeed and motion forms in free space, overcoming earth's gravity, then in abstract painting, he was fascinated by the possibility of exit through a color harmony to a sense of infinity, from the microcosm to the macrocosm, to the discovery of the greatness of thoughts, the revelation (tg-m.ru).

In General, Hams lived in intellectual isolation, without communication with like-minded people. Lived a "left" (artinvestment.ru). To "thaw" was still 30 years.

Enlisting in the "New reality" Elia Belutin in 1959, Ham was finally in an environment where he lacked. All 13 of lifetime exhibitions 1959-1974 Okorokova years — this exhibition with the Studio Eliya Belyutina. Moreover, the next four posthumous exhibition Okorokova also was organized by Velutinum. Not accidentally in the "no time to explain" Okorokova is referred to velutinum. But if you look at the year of birth, in 1959, when Hams began to exhibit with the artists of the city Committee of artists books, charts and posters, with the participation of the creative studios under the guidance of Belyutina, he was 68 years old. That is the moment of the beginning of work with the Studio Hams were already Mature, much-traveled man and an artist who needed, rather, in the energy of the young team or in dialogue with him, but not the coaching or the following General settings, as was customary at belyutintsev. Ham died in 1974. The last, a posthumous exhibition was held at the Patriarch's ponds, in the Studio Belutin, in January 1976. And then, alas, almost 30 years the name of the artist fell from the exhibition process. Enough time to get into the forgotten names (artinvestment.ru).

the Revival of interest in the legacy of Valentin Okorokov occurred only in 2008, when in the Tretyakov gallery in the hall in Tolmachev, Victor Spengler (the Foundation of "Old years") organized the exhibition "Valentin Okorokov. Subject and outside the subject: 1920-е — 1970-е". On it, next to the early avant-garde works, exhibited our "self-portrait in a hat" in 1961. According to the materials of this extensive exhibition, the critics noted that graphic works and collages 1920-30-х years before the "cosmic" abstractions of recent years the work by Valentin Okorokov surprisingly rhymes with the development of abstract art beyond the borders of the iron curtain. And that's very important, works of the second half of life are not a pale rehash of the avant-garde youth, and represent a new, even more vivid rise (tg-m.ru).

the Next big section of the directory — the works of the sixties.

figure Anatoly T. Zverev "can Not continue! Not!" (1956) — illustration of the product of N. V. Gogol's "Tale about how quarreled Ivan Ivanovich with Ivan Nikiforovich". According to the expert, "the figure relates to great early series of illustrations A. T. Zvereva, the works of N. Gogol, many of which he knew nearly word for word. These illustrations are distinguished by the virtuosity of performance, liveliness and fluency of lines, the accuracy of the figure. Skill Zverev-рисовальщика delights and makes each picture a masterpiece. Is no exception" and it's our job. Separately, the expert points out that the pattern "is rare and has a Museum value".

Watercolor "Perioptic" (1960-1961), the expert notes, "a unique and rare early work of the famous Moscow artist-нонконформиста Nicholas Evgenyevich Vechtomova, included in the cosmogonic cycle of things "one Million years BC". It is written in the characteristic of this period of creativity Vechtomova complex writing style, with interesting, invented "scientific-фантастическим" story and a kind of philosophical view and attitude of the author to the Universe, the Universe".

In the work Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin Jack of diamonds is a kind of author's genre. Our "Jack of diamonds" (1970) — bright, colorful, dynamic, and certainly recognizable, in a free manner. But in this work, the author contrasts the boiling energy of the lower and middle part of the song — the top. The artist paints beautiful face with fine features and closed eyes, in a red beret, and with him — a little red flower, semi-abstract, but very simple and touching. A unique thing in the works Nemukhin — Jack-романтик!

Meter canvas "Composition" (1979) Eduard Arkadievich Steinberg filled with familiar to fans of his art forms. Cross, circle, line — they are all for the artist and at the same time signs and symbols — concepts, phenomena and allusions. It is possible to offer, for example, are their interpretations: "the triangle recalls the Trinity, the cross means the cross, the circle — idea of perfection in the world. The line may look like the border between life and death, between day and night @all mdas that haunts the metaphysical imagination of the artist"; <...> "circles and white rectangles Steinberg appear in two forms, marking a desperate man, lost in the boundless space, and the triumph of conquering life returning to normal" (Dominique Fernandez. CIT. at knife.media). To the question about finding your way in art, the artist replied that an understanding of geometrical abstraction "came through the Russian avant-garde, primarily through the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich. But I almost did not discover anything new, I just gave the Russian avant-garde a different perspective. What? Rather, religious. Their spatial geometric structures I base on the old catacomb wall painting and, of course, icon painting. My little achievement is that I almost-чуть turned Russian avant-garde. But, on the other hand, I develop in his works the traditions of Russian symbolism...<...> the Internal concept of my works, therefore, is based on a synthesis of mystical ideas of Russian symbolism of Teens and plastic solutions to the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich" (source: books.google.de).

the Work Vladimir Borisovich Yankilevsky the catalog contains a large colorful pastels with collage elements from the cycle "Space of experiences" (1990), made on colored paper.

And another work by Eduard Shteinberg in our catalogue — porcelain plate "the Black sun" (1991-1992). "Edward Steinberg for his first series of porcelain made three sketches of the murals — reminiscences rustic theme, which he developed in 1980-е years of painting. Large plane, painted in thick dark colors, conventional figurative drawing, the use of inscriptions, geometric building songs — all your beautiful tools Steinberg migrates to disk porcelain plates. Sincerity and rural simplicity of explanation emphasizes easy negligence, "obrannou" colorful layers that create the effect of a deliberately Amateur nature of the painting, softening the pomp noble porcelina" (Victoria Petukhov. Porcelain as nepriglyadnoy art or another facet of nonconformism // Porcelain of the sixties: an Exhibition in Romanov gallery. M: Bonfi, 2012. P.14).

a Strikingly beautiful and full of meaning small undated work in the author's technique — "the Vladimir mother of God" Edward L. Zelenina.

Apart in the catalog is the landscape "Wild autumn" (2004) Aaron Froimovich Buch, in which the artist masterfully conveyed the play of colors and shades of the autumn forest.

Completes the selection section of creativity by modern artists.

In a peculiar manner written fine abstract composition Omar Chkhaidze valeryanovich "Waiting" (1990). Painting of the artist is laconic in all — in color, in graphics, in detail; and this simplicity emphasizes as if unearthly character of the composition.

the Theme of motherhood is devoted to the bronze sculpture with a mysterious name the"Madonna of Mars" (2018) Paata Merabishvili of Marasovich.

In 2019 written a large canvas "I Love you" Lucy Raven. In her work 2019-й as the day today, — is a joyful period, when the artist appeals to the favorite motifs and reveals their-новому when-новому play and sparkle paint, and the images on the-новому deep and compelling. The artist works happily and freely. Lucy always gives names to their canvases, accurate and reflective of the author's most important idea, which at first glance may not be obvious, but is revealed gradually. Here is our picture of "I Love you".

For this work the artist posed for only one model. Lucy tells us, love yourself, experience this happiness, this freedom! Flowers, colours, light — they are just there, they are out of time, — all concentrated in a single moment of realization of love!
