BORIS CHETKOV (Russian, b. 1926) Composition , 1969 Acrylic on board 14 x 20 inches (35.6 x 50.8 cm) Signed, titled, and numbered verso in Cyrillic PROVENANCE: Pushkin Collection, acquired directly from the artist "Certain works of the late 60s recall the Action Painting of Jackson Pollock, but the basic premise is totally different. Chetkov came to his conclusions uniquely, independently and at the same time. Action painting, founded on bodily gesticulation, is simultaneous and extrovert, while in these works the effect of unbroken movement, of contrasts, flashes, sparkles and color repetitions, is subordinated to arrangement and order."

Stepan Razin
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
BORIS CHETKOV (Russian, b. 1926) Stepan Razin, 1971 Acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) Artist monogram lower right in Cyrillic Titled, numbered, signed, and dated verso in Cyrillic PROVENANCE: Pushkin Collection, acquired directly from the artist LITERATURE: Chetkov, the Portraitist, Pushkin Group, 2008 "This is a work of many layers, its painterly realization representing Chetkov's perpetual interest in one of the most interesting artistic phenomena of the 1920s, the school of Matyushin. Indeed, in this work, there arises a sense of movement of two color masses, in accordance with Matyushin's theory of additional color, facilitating the appearance of a third, linking color. This dense, viscous color environment creates an almost psychedelic sense of an engulfing color haze that seems to swallow one up. There is no depiction here at all, just a sense of color, accumulating living, natural sensations in all their dynamism, to create that sense of the organic, that "sign of a return to Nature" (Mikhail Matyushin). But in this case, this organic essence also has a biographical, subject connotation. Stepan Razin is one of the most popular or all Russian heroes in folk mythology, a man of Nature. He is the embodiment of elemental, natural protest (Soviet historiography sought to fit him into the scheme of Russia's revolutionary, anti-exploitation movement but it never took on and the people have always prized their hero for his spontaneity and unpredictable qualities.) Chetkov too, it seems to me, turns to the image of Razin with quite specific aims in mind, aims related to his sense of autobiography, of self-portrait. Disguised in this image of the elemental, natural, down-to-earth nonconformist, he seems to play out his life as an artist born of the people, an artist who suffered throughout his life from pressure from above." Dr. Alexander Borovsky - Chetkov, the Portraitist

The viewer can almost feel the contrast created by texture and the juxtaposition of colors and shapes. In an emotional sense, there is no alarm here, no tension. On the contrary, there is a sense of calm and balance." Dr. Alexander Borovsky

In certain works, horses and their riders have a sense of characterization, their poses, gestures and movements carefully noted and recorded." Dr. Alexander Borovsky - Chetkov, Across All Barriers

The interpretation of dreams is an ancient profession, with traditions that pass through shamanism and that have been taken up and made relevant by all versions of psychoanalysis." Dr. Alexander Borovsky - Chetkov, Across All Barriers
