Dear participants and spectators of the auction AI! No monitor and no modern gadget 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).

INFANTE-АРАНА Francisco (1943) Artifacts. From the"Addition". 1983
Paper, photograph. 49,7 × 50

Next in chronological order work — "Artifacts" from the "Add" (1983) Francisco Infante. "In 1976, as an artist, designed the book, Clifford Simak, — told Infante in an interview. — In it they talked about the Artifact, mysterious and coveted by all. Especially fascinated by the metamorphosis taking place in life with the emergence of this Artifact. The theme of the Artifact is very fascinating to me, and I decided to bring him in nature and thus create a kind of organizing principle, frame or sphere within which it is possible to dispose of the attributes of nature: sunlight, air, snow, earth, heaven, etc.

the Word “artifact” refers to the thing second nature, i.e., something man-made and, therefore, Autonomous in relation to nature. A symbolically important moment, a distillation of the artifact as an artificial object, additional to nature. It is appropriate to recall the concept of “frame” — design that simultaneously limits the infinity of the world, and focuses on the infinity. The fact that since ancient times we know about the artifact, demonstrates the infinity of the world, about the connection of all things with Mystery, this world is really filling. The consciousness of the artist who inspired the situation of interaction between artifact and nature, creates field lines of the game. So my work, in which man is absent is always about the person and his spiritual world, articulated consciousness" (nsad.ru).

GRIGORIEV E. Alexander (1949) Hourglass. 1968
Paper, tempera. 53 × 73 (light)

Tempera "Hourglass" Alexander Yefimovich Grigoriev written in 1968. The artist is 19 years old and a year ago began a short but interesting period in his life — participation in the group of Russian kinetists "Movement" led by Lev Nusberg.

"We were friends, shared everything and looked into each other's work. Had an interesting life, even though we were all alone. Nothing like no one else did... Until we have reached fragmentary information about the Western kinetic art — and we accepted Russian equivalent of the term "Movement"" (interview with Francisco Infante, member of the "Movement"). "Kinetische longed to overcome the real art of aesthetic objects and static structures. Constructivists 20-х years understood the movement not only as a mechanical movement, but also as a form of perception of time and space, the movement as a universal position. Hence thesis Nusberg, confirmed the entire group: “I want to work with electromagnetic fields, with glowing and pulsating concentrations in space, with various movements of flows of gases and liquids, mirrors and optical effects, with changes of heat and smells ... and, of course, music.” In the text of the program in 1965 under the title “What is kinetic art?” Nusberg determines the kinetic of the synthesis: “...we require the use of all opportunities and resources, both technical and aesthetic,physical and chemical phenomena, all arts, all processes and forms of perception, as well as the involvement of the mental reactions and the influence of various sensory capabilities of a human, as a means of artistic expression"" (quartagallery.ru). Grigoriev joined the group in 1967 (left the group in 1972-м) and managed to participate in several of her projects. To the same period belong his first works in the style of abstract-геометрической minimalist painting and kinetic spatial objects (alegrig.ru), including our tempera "Hourglass". The creativity of the participants group in our country is not very well known, the more valuable the work of a member of the "right" period.

Of key importance for it was at that time the images of the Crimean, Caucasian and Baltic "popular resorts" and "creativity houses"" (ru.wikipedia.org).

"Yes, strange, sometimes mysterious world of Natalia Nesterova, with its conditional characters, faces with-масками, gambling houses and creatures, with the sculptures, what alive people with cold and melancholy of old buildings with the dead and attacking dogs with nervous flight of birds-кардиналов, with fantasies of the author, with its speculations and its hot everyday sense, with its grotesque, with its elegiac admiring, with her mischief and her virtue. But this is our world. Another thing is that he's seen a true artist, which hitherto was not, and we are invited: become a co-sponsor, call to the aid of their soul, their life experience, attitude, and you guess what lives and works by Natalia Nesterova. But you would never suspect, and just take in the beauty and sadness of life, the mystery shall remain a mystery" (Vladimir Viktorovich Orlov. The mysterious world of Natalia Nesterova, lib.ru).

In 1988, G. S. Kregzde enters the artistic group “HAMMER”, attributed by experts to the Russian neo-expressionism, although individual creative manner of the artist is clearly beyond the scope of this direction.

Kregzde develops under the influence of various stylistic impulses. The combination and synthesis of styles and techniques are characteristic for the artist. It can be argued that the manner of S. Kregzde polystylene in its essence, and this method is mandatoryare psychology, associative thinking, the work of the subconscious, explosive and spontaneous nature of the writing. A lot of attention to the psychology of a living being "generally", by merging the essence of animals, birds, insects, people with animating elements winds, waters, fire, stones..."

Shilnikova). For many years the artist, born in Vladivostok, live in the North, in Vologda, Arkhangelsk region.

oil on Canvas. 57 × 48

In 2018 written elegant canvas is the "nature" of the artist from the city of Vladimir Sergey V. Kremneva. In his works one can discern not so much the tradition of the Vladimir landscape school, how obvious the author's love for this brilliant and original scenic area. Painting of Sergey Kremnev was distinguished by a kind of recognizable architectural flavor, not like the color of the solution of recognized masters of the Vladimir school, more strict and laconic composition, more attention to the chart. Confident, independent manner of Sergey Kremnev, its luxurious color scheme is wonderful and manifest in our work, combining landscape and still life, favorite genres of the author.
