NATALIA GONTCHAROVA - Huile sur toile
Est: €100,000 - €125,000
NATALIA GONTCHAROVA LADYJINO, 1881 – PARIS, 1962 Pot de bleuets Vers 1960 Huile sur toile 63 x 49 cm Monogrammée en bas à gauche en latin « N. G.» Provenance Atelier d’artiste, Paris ; Alexandra Tomilina, vers 1965 ; Collection particulière, Paris, dans les années 60/80. Bibliographie Denise Bazetoux, Catalogue Raisonné, Natalia Gontcharova, son oeuvre entre tradition et modernité – Tome 1 – N°1301, illustrée en couleur p. 384 (erreur concernant les dimensions dans le catalogue raisonné). Certificat Jean Chauvelin, Paris. Du bleuet elles ont la couleur mais c’est du tournesol que ces fleurs tirent leur allure avec leurs rangées régulières de pétales couronnant de larges pistils. Qu’elles tournent vers nous leur large corolle ou nous en présentent le revers, ces lourdes têtes gonflées d’étamines font ployer leur tige hors du vase qui les contient, non sans difficulté. L’une d’entre elle est d’ailleurs tombée sur la table au milieu de quelques pétales. Les feuilles dentelées qui les accompagnent ajoutent leur foisonnement à la composition rayonnante du bouquet. Bleues sont ces fleurs mais bleu aussi est le vase qui les accueille offrant ainsi un harmonieux camaïeu ponctué çà et là de touches violacées. Mais c’est le fond de la composition qui apporte la modernité à ce sujet convenu. Rayonnant autour du bouquet, des coups de brosses réguliers dessinent une trame géométrique où dominent les tonalités blanches venant délayer celles du bouquet. Les fleurs semblent alors irradier d’une lumière irisée. Cette géométrisation de la touche du fond invite alors à considérer les corolles comme autant d’ellipses ou de disques qui répondent à ce damier. Le tracé devient motif et rappelle ainsi le rayonnisme dont Natalia Gontcharova fut l’instigatrice au début de sa carrière.

NATALIA GONTCHAROVA - Huile sur toile signée
Est: €180,000 - €230,000
NATALIA GONTCHAROVA LADYJINO, 1881 – PARIS, 1962 Au café 1912-1913 Huile sur toile 67,5 x 57 cm. Signé en bas à gauche en latin « N. Gontacharova » Provenance Collection privée Certificat Jean Chauvelin, Paris. Ce couple attablé à la terrasse d’un café nous offre une scène de séduction où l’homme, empressé, débite un discours à l’oreille d’une femme qui lui prête une oreille attentive mais une moue dubitative. Derrière eux, la silhouette massive d’un serveur les domine et semble les surveiller du coin de l’œil. A la limite de la caricature, Natalia Gontcharova, saisit ses contemporains dans leur quotidien, leur prêtant des mimiques comme s’ils jouaient une pièce de théâtre. Sans être morale, la scène s’inscrit dans cette tradition de la scène de genre qui capte quelque moment quotidien en l’exacerbant. Ici l’homme, dont le canotier est posé sur la table, appartient à la bourgeoisie comme l’atteste son costume élégant. La femme, en revanche, est issue du peuple avec une mise simple et un fichu noué sur les épaules qui recouvrait probablement sa tête. La kossovorotka, chemise blanche, du serveur témoigne par ailleurs que nous sommes en Russie. Tracées à grands traits, les silhouettes des protagonistes se détachent sur un fond presque abstrait où la touche du peintre est omniprésente, diffractant l’espace en un patchwork de couleurs devenant presque motifs. Organisés en faisceaux alternés de hachures, les bleus, gris et blancs occupent l’espace aérien supérieur de la composition, quand un camaïeu d’ocres jaunes évoque l’aspect terreux du sol. L’espace est ainsi d’ordre plus symbolique que topographique, où l’arbre rectiligne sur la gauche prend valeur de signe pour indiquer que la scène se passe en extérieur. Reprenant les codes de la peinture médiévale d’icône, qu’elle s’approprie, Gontcharova expérimente ici une simplification radicale de l’espace qui la mènera au rayonnisme.

NATALIA GONTCHAROVA - Huile sur toile
Est: €88,000 - €110,000
NATALIA GONTCHAROVA LADYJINO, 1881 – PARIS, 1962 La vendeuse de pain 1911-1912 Huile sur toile 66 x 94 cm. Ce tableau présente une boulangère tenant dans ses mains un grand pain rond, ses bras robustes enveloppés dans un mouvement protecteur. Son visage, encadré par un foulard blanc, est empreint d’une gravité calme et résolue. Vêtue d’une blouse rouge foncé et d’un tablier vert profond, la figure féminine se détache nettement sur un arrière-plan où se devinent des éléments floraux, des couronnes de pain suspendues et un four. Ce dernier se dresse comme un symbole authentique du savoir-faire artisanal, sa structure robuste et chaleureuse rappelant non seulement l’importance de la cuisson dans la transformation du pain en une œuvre d’art gustative, mais aussi la continuité d’un héritage traditionnel où chaque fournée porte la signature du labeur et de la passion. Au contraire, au premier plan, des baguettes et des miches dorées ainsi qu’un panier tressé s’alignent avec une présence presque sculpturale. L’or des pains, après un passage au four, tranche contre la palette sombre et chaude du décor, évoquant la lumière de l’aube et la lueur du fournil. La beauté de cette œuvre réside d’abord dans son intensité visuelle. Les contrastes de couleurs du rouge terreux au vert sombre, puis au blanc éclatant du voile attirent immédiatement le regard et guident notre lecture de la scène. Les formes sont simples et puissantes, presque géométriques, témoignant d’un style résolument moderne. Pourtant, derrière cette stylisation, l’artiste laisse transparaître une profonde humanité, la posture de la vendeuse, solide et dignement ancrée dans son activité quotidienne, suscite une émotion sincère. Ce tableau est unique par le soin porté à la matière et à la volumétrie, qui donnent aux pains et au visage de la vendeuse une force sculpturale. Les pains semblent palpables, presque réels, tandis que l’allure quelque peu monumentale de la femme sublime sa condition de travailleuse. La scène se mue ainsi en un hommage à la vie simple, au labeur et aux nourritures essentielles. C’est cette union magistrale entre la beauté des formes, l’exaltation du travail humain et la chaleur des couleurs qui confère à ce tableau toute sa grandeur et son caractère inoubliable.

NATALIA GONTCHAROVA - Huile sur toile
Est: €120,000 - €150,000
NATALIA GONTCHAROVA LADYJINO, 1881 – PARIS, 1962 Vase de fleurs Vers 1902-1904 Huile sur toile 56 x 44 cm. Certificat Jean Chauvelin, Paris. Monogrammé en bas à droite en cyrillique « N. Gontcharova» Ce bouquet abondant, dont les gerbes de multiples espèces (iris, églantines, colchiques, fougères…) semblent devoir difficilement cohabiter dans ce même petit vase et à la même saison, revêt une portée éminemment symbolique. Comme le laisse deviner le fond binaire sur lequel il se détache : pan noir dans la moitié gauche, ouverture sur un paysage lumineux dans la moitié droite. Au pied du vase, les multiples pétales fanés jonchent la table au point de la recouvrir totalement. Très fortement inspiré, voire copié (?) d’une nature morte flamande, le tableau évoque les vanités d’Ambrosius Bosschaert ou de Balthasar van der Ast. Il nous montre ici la solide formation artistique de Natalia Gontcharova avant qu’elle ne s’affranchisse de ses ainés et expérimente ses propres voies vers une abstraction qui n’oubliera jamais les maitres classiques. Car la modernité se nourrit de la tradition. Natalia Gontcharova (1881-1962) est une peintre russe naturalisée française en 1939. Ayant suivi une formation à Moscou, elle se consacre à la peinture après sa rencontre avec Michel Lario- nov (1881-1964) qui deviendra son mari. A partir de 1907, après des expérimentations impres- sionniste et cubiste, elle développe un style personnel néo-primitif, fortement influencé par les icônes et l’imagerie populaire russe (loubok). C’est ainsi que les thèmes religieux et d’inspiration paysanne imprègnent son œuvre. En 1906, elle participe à l’exposition d’art russe organisée par Serge de Diaghilev (1872-1929) au Salon d’automne, à Paris, puis lance, en décembre 1909, avec Larionov le néo-primitivisme, lors de la troisième exposition de la Toison d’Or. Toujours à l’avant-garde, elle participe au mouvement futuriste (1911), puis à la création du rayonnisme (1912-1913), ce mouvement non-figuratif dont ils vont rédiger le manifeste. Présente sur toute la scène européenne, Gontcharova expose pour le Blaue Reiter à Munich, en 1912, puis à la gale- rie Der Sturm à Berlin. En 1913, une grande rétrospective lui est consacrée à Moscou, dont le catalogue s’élève à près de 700 numéros, puis elle expose, en 1914, au Salon des indépendants à Paris, aux côtés de Larionov, Alexandra Exter (1882-1949) et Georges Yakoulov (1884-1928). C’est aussi en 1914 qu’elle produit la série des lithographies intitulée Images mystiques de la guerre et réalise les décors du Coq d’or de Rimski-Korsakov pour les Ballets russes. Elle expose avec Larionov à la galerie Paul Guillaume, avec une préface du catalogue par Guillaume Apolli- naire. En 1918, elle s’installe définitivement à Paris avec Larionov et devient l’un des principaux peintres des Ballets russes de Diaghilev pour qui elle conçoit notamment les décors pour Les Noces de Stravinsky (1882-1971), ainsi que pour Ida Rubinstein (1885-1960) et ses Ballets russes de Monte-Carlo. Peintre de l’École de Paris, Gontcharova est aussi membre du Salon d’automne depuis 1921, et participe régulièrement au Salon des Tuileries et au Salon des indépendants. Si la guerre et l’après-guerre sont une période difficile pour Gontcharova et Larionov, c’est en 1954, à l’occasion des grandes rétrospectives de Diaghilev à Londres, qu’ils recouvrent la célébrité. Le musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris lui consacre une rétrospective, après sa mort. En 2019, le Tate Modern de Londres organise la première rétrospective uniquement sur son travail.

Natalia Goncharova (1881-1962), Abstract Composition with Birds
Est: $24,000 - $34,000
Gouache on paper Signed Lower right Dimensions (excluding frame):49.7x 38 cm Provenance:The artwork originates from the distinguished collection of Yehuda Frenkel (1916–2001), a notable Holocaust survivor, cultural figure, and documented associate and partner of Oskar Schindler. Frenkel passed away at the age of 85 in 2001 and is remembered for both his remarkable personal history and his influential role in the international art world. Following the war, Frenkel settled in Austria, where he became the owner of a respected art gallery in Vienna and developed a reputation as a refined collector with significant means. Over several decades, he actively acquired artworks from important European cultural centers, focusing particularly on Paris and Vienna. His collection reflected both intellectual curiosity and an informed appreciation for modern art. According to information provided by the family, the present work was acquired in Paris at the Galerie Charpentier, a gallery active during the mid-20th century and now closed for over 30 years. Throughout its operation, Galerie Charpentier was known among collectors as a boutique gallery dealing in modernist and avant-garde works, attracting international buyers such as Frenkel. This provenance aligns fully with Frenkel’s collecting patterns. During the 1960s–1980s he regularly purchased works in Paris, often selecting pieces from respected galleries with strong reputations in the European art market. The examined work remained in his private collection until his passing in 2001 and has been preserved within the family ever since.

Est: €20,000 - €25,000
(+) NATALIA GONCHAROVA (1881-1962) Archangel Michael signed twice with stamp in Cyrillic ‘NG’ (lower right) pencil on paper 33 x 26 cm executed circa 1911 Provenance: Collection Alexandra Larionov-Tomiline (second wife of Larionov). Private Collection An early and rare drawing, Archangel Michael, executed circa 1911, belongs to Goncharova’s early work with religious subjects, begun around 1906. Archangel Michael—the Archistrategos and protector of the heavenly host in Orthodox tradition. Goncharova was inspired by Russian icons, Byzantine frescoes and lubok prints; as in the present work, forms are flattened and lines are direct, reflecting the principles of Neo-Primitivism developed in close dialogue with Mikhail Larionov. It was a period of renewed interest in early Russian art. The restoration of icons, including Andrei Rublev’s Trinity in 1904, and the 1913 Moscow Exhibition of Old Russian Art brought works from churches and monasteries to a wider public. Goncharova’s own exhibition in Moscow in 1913 attracted over 12,000 visitors, while the 1914 presentation in St Petersburg provoked controversy, with more than twenty works confiscated on charges of blasphemy, though later returned. Within this context, Goncharova sought to reconcile Russian tradition with modernity. The subject of Archangel Michael is recurrent in this period. The present drawing anticipates later projects, notably Mystical Images of War (1914), created in response to World War I.

(+) NATALIA GONCHAROVA (1881-1962) Element of curtain design for the opera-ballet 'Le Coq d’Or' by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, for Sergei Diaghilev’s production, 1914 signed with stamp in Cyrillic ‘NG’ (lower right), numbered in pencil ‘5/9’ (lower left) stencil on paper 26 x 41.5 cm executed circa 1913 Provenance: Collection Alexandra Larionov-Tomiline (second wife of Larionov) Private Collection Literature: Fernand Rude, ‘Nathalie Gontcharova’, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lyon, 1969. Exhibited: ‘Nathalie Gontcharova’, exhibition produced in collaboration with Alexandra Larionov-Tomilina Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lyon 1969, no. 95. Before World War I, Natalia Goncharova was invited by Sergei Diaghilev to create sets and costumes for the opera-ballet The Golden Cockerel (staged by Mikhail Fokin for Diaghilev’s Russian Ballet company based on the opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov). The opera-ballet premiered in Paris and London in 1914. Goncharova’s fresh approach to popular Russian art, her familiarity with contemporary French painting, and her sense of humor allowed the artist to become an intermediary between the Russian avant-garde and Western art. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera, based on Alexander Pushkin’s fairy tale and political satire The Golden Cockerel, inspired Goncharova to create colorful sets that established her as a leading artist and set designer. Her success paved the way for further collaborations between the Russian Ballet and such artists as Mikhail Larionov, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.

NATALIA GONCHAROVA (1881–1962) Pulling a Cannon [Pushku tyanyut]
Est: €1,000 - €1,200
NATALIA GONCHAROVA (1881–1962) Pulling a Cannon [Pushku tyanyut] unsigned lithograph on paper 24 × 32.5 cm. (image) Executed circa 1912 LITERATURE: V. Polyakov, Books of Russian Cubo-Futurism, Moscow, 1998, p. 128. Pulling a Cannon is a rare early lithograph by Natalia Goncharova, one of the leading figures of the Russian avant-garde in the early twentieth century. Between 1906 and 1911 she explored the aesthetics of Neo-Primitivism, drawing inspiration from Russian folk art, particularly lubok prints. Working closely with Mikhail Larionov, the two artists are regarded as the founders of Neo-Primitivism as a movement in Russian art. Deeply attracted to ancient Russian and popular artistic traditions, Goncharova sought to revive a national visual language rooted in folk culture. Goncharova herself articulated the ideas of the primitivist movement: 'The art of my country is incomparably deeper and more significant than anything I know. I am rediscovering the path to the East, and I am certain that many will follow me along this path.'

NATALIA GONTCHAROVA (Ladyjino, 1881 – Paris, 1962) - Au café (1912–1913)
Est: €300,000 - €400,000
Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 67.5 x 57 cm. Signed in the lower left corner in Latin characters "N. Gontacharova". This genre scene, datable to 1912–1913, dates from Natalia Gontacharova's period of experimentation within the Russian avant-garde. The composition depicts a couple seated on a café terrace. The man, dressed in a dark suit and a boater hat resting on the table, belongs to the urban bourgeoisie; leaning towards the woman, he appears to be speaking insistently into her ear. She, dressed more simply with a scarf over her shoulders, listens attentively, though her expression suggests a certain distance or skepticism. Behind them stands the waiter, a solid and almost monumental figure, dressed in the traditional white kossovorotka, a detail that places the scene in a Russian context. The artist captures an everyday moment, intensifying the expressiveness to the point of caricature, giving the figures an almost theatrical air. The silhouettes are defined by firm, simplified outlines that stand out against an almost abstract background. The brushstrokes fragment the space into planes of color organized in clusters; blues, grays, and whites structure the upper portion, while a range of ochres and yellows suggests the ground. The vertical tree on the left acts more as a symbol than a naturalistic element, indicating the exterior space without developing it. The spatial simplification and frontality recall the tradition of the Russian icon, reinterpreted through a modern sensibility. The work is situated at a moment of transition toward Rayonnism, a movement that Goncharova would develop alongside Mikhail Larionov, where the decomposition of form and light would reach a more radical level. The painting encapsulates the balance between Russian folk tradition and the avant-garde characteristic of her work during these years. Provenance: Private collection. Certificate: Jean Chauvelin, Paris. Lot in international warehouse (outside the EU).

Natalia Goncharova (1881-1962), Abstract Composition with Birds
Est: $24,000 - $34,000
Gouache on paper Signed Lower right Dimensions (excluding frame):49.7x 38 cm Provenance:The artwork originates from the distinguished collection of Yehuda Frenkel (1916–2001), a notable Holocaust survivor, cultural figure, and documented associate and partner of Oskar Schindler. Frenkel passed away at the age of 85 in 2001 and is remembered for both his remarkable personal history and his influential role in the international art world. Following the war, Frenkel settled in Austria, where he became the owner of a respected art gallery in Vienna and developed a reputation as a refined collector with significant means. Over several decades, he actively acquired artworks from important European cultural centers, focusing particularly on Paris and Vienna. His collection reflected both intellectual curiosity and an informed appreciation for modern art. According to information provided by the family, the present work was acquired in Paris at the Galerie Charpentier, a gallery active during the mid-20th century and now closed for over 30 years. Throughout its operation, Galerie Charpentier was known among collectors as a boutique gallery dealing in modernist and avant-garde works, attracting international buyers such as Frenkel. This provenance aligns fully with Frenkel’s collecting patterns. During the 1960s–1980s he regularly purchased works in Paris, often selecting pieces from respected galleries with strong reputations in the European art market. The examined work remained in his private collection until his passing in 2001 and has been preserved within the family ever since.

Provenance : Collection privée New Yorkaise Dim : 79 x 119,5 cm. En l'état, petits manques/éclats, restauration ancienne Ce tableau est l'une des peintures sur le thème des paysannes dansant en cercle que Gontcharova a réalisées en 1910. Il y a un autre tableau qui se trouve au Musée de Serphukhov. Gontcharova peignait souvent une ou plusieurs versions d'un même sujet. Dans celui du musée de Serphukhov, on y voit que les cinq danseuses avec une variation des couleurs pour les vêtements, l'accordéoniste n'étant pas présent. Le tableau au musée mesure 100 x 133 cm. En 1901, à Moscou, elle étudie la sculpture chez F. Volnoukhine et Paul Troubetzkoy (disciple de d'Auguste Rodin), et la peinture chez Constantin Korovine. Elle abandonne la sculpture en 1904 et se consacre à la peinture après sa rencontre avec Michel Larionov qui sera le compagnon de toute sa vie. "Tout au long de leur vie commune, ils s’influenceront mutuellement et collaboreront longtemps. Néanmoins les œuvres de Natalia Gontcharova se distinguent de celles de son mari par leur profusion de couleurs vives". Après un passage de l'impressionnisme au cubisme, son néo-primitivisme est, à partir de 1907, influencé par l'icône, l'imagerie populaire russe (loubok), les chromos, l'enseigne artisanale. Les thèmes chrétiens et, plus généralement, religieux ou d'inspiration paysanne dominent alors son œuvre. Elle participe en 1906 à l'exposition d'art russe organisée au Salon d'automne, à Paris, par Serge de Diaghilev. En décembre 1909, lors de la troisième exposition de la Toison d'Or, Larionov et Gontcharova lancent le néo-primitivisme. En décembre 1910, elle participe avec Larionov à la première exposition moscovite du Valet de Carreau.
