KOSHARY. PAVEL KUZNETSOV (1878 - 1968) RUSSIA, 1912
Est: €500 - €600
A poetic and rare sheet from the flourishing period of Pavel Kuznetsov’s Symbolist painting, belonging to his celebrated “Steppe Cycle” of the 1910s. The composition is structured through broad horizontals, where the vault of the sky dominates the pictorial space and dissolves into subtle transitions of azure, lilac-pink and pearlescent tones. The low horizon, with barely indicated outlines of shepherds’ huts and rounded haystacks, evokes the boundless steppe and a contemplative stillness.The chromatic structure of the work is based on a refined contrast between cool celestial planes and warm ochre-golden expanses of land. The soft tempera technique on cardboard lends the surface a velvety texture and an inner luminosity characteristic of the artist’s works of this period. The laconic treatment of form and the generalized silhouette enhance the Symbolist nature of the image, in which a real motif is transformed into a poetic vision of space.The work is signed and dated on the reverse in ink: “Koshary. Pavel Kuznetsov 1912.”Dimensions: 19.3 x 29.5 cm.Material: Tempera on cardboard.Condition: Good collector’s condition. Minor traces of age, no visible paint losses.Provenance: Private collection. Width: 44cm, Height: 57cm, Depth: 4cm, Weight: 2.5kg, Condition: Good, Material: Tempera, ID: ID-ANTQ-16359

Kuznetsov was one of the organisers of the exhibitions Scarlet Rose (1904) and Blue Rose (1907), which became central to the development of Russian Symbolism. Kuznetsov also worked briefly as a theatre designer. In 1914 he collaborated with Alexander Tairov on the first production of the Moscow Kamerny Theatre, Sakuntala by Kalidasa, for which he created stage and costume designs. Although theatre remained a relatively small part of his career, these works reflect the same poetic and decorative sensibility that characterises his painting.

Trombadori", in italiano, a matita, al recto Stato di conservazione superficie: 90% (macchie rugginose) Stato di conservazione supporto: 95% Pavel Varfolomevich Kuznetsov (1878–1968) fu pittore e grafico. Ebbe in famiglia un pittore di icone e il nonno giardiniere. Ha studiato a Saratov alla Bogolyubov Art School (1891–1896) - sotto la guida di V. V. Konovalov e G. P. Salvini-Baracchi, con Viktor Borisov-Musatov e lo scultore Alexander Matveev -, dunque alla Scuola di pittura, scultura e architettura di Mosca (1897–1904) e per un anno a Parigi (1906). Nel 1902 si avvicinò a Valery Bryusov e ai simbolisti e inizio a collaborare con pubblicazioni simboliste, come le riviste "Arte" e "Vello d'oro" ("Искусство", "Золотое руно"). Nel 1902, insieme a Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin e Peter Utkin, dipinse la Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Kazan a Saratov, ma l'eccessiva libertà espressiva suscitò scandalo e le opere vennero distrutte. I suoi primi dipinti furono esposti dal gruppo formatosi intorno alla rivista "Mir Iskusstva". Kuznetsov contribuì a organizzare la mostra "Rosa scarlatta" (1904) ed è stato uno dei fondatori e leader, nel 1907, della Rosa Blu (Голубая роза), una associazione di artisti simbolisti moscoviti che prendeva nome dal poema "Fiore blu" di Novalis. Nel 1906, su invito di Sergei Diaghilev, si recò a Parigi, dove visitò studi d'arte privati, esponendo ad una mostra di arte russa, che gli valse l'elezione a membro del Salon d'Automn a vita. Nelle steppe del Trans-Volga (1911-1912) e in Asia centrale (1912-1913), Kusnetsov elaborò un nuovo stile - memore anche della lezione di Chagall - in cui è centrale “separare un sogno da un altro sogno”, mantenendo vivo il ritmo e la poetica dell'Oriente, il respiro della storia millenaria dei popoli orientali, vagabondi nell'Asia, rovesciando con l'esperienza della vita la pessimistica metafora del leopardiano "Canto notturno di un pastore errante nell'Asia". La luminosità e allo stesso tempo la sottigliezza della riproduzione dei colori, la semplicità e la stessa irrealtà della trama: la "Suite kyrgyza" e la "Serie Bukhara" collocano Kuznetsov tra artisti di livello mondiale. Durante gli anni della rivoluzione lavorò con grande entusiasmo, prese parte alla pubblicazione della rivista "La via della liberazione", insegnò allo Stroganov Institute (1917–18; dove tornò tra il 1945 e il 1948) e all'Istituto di Belle Arti di Mosca (1918– 37); e diresse la sezione pittura del Narkompros, il commissariato del popolo per l'educazione ( 1919-1924), in rappresentanza della quale espose a Parigi nel 1923. Creò, in questo periodo nuove variazioni di motivi orientali, in cui si nota l'influenza dell'antica pittura russa, dipinse bellissimi ritratti della moglie Elena Bebutova, disegnò le serie litografiche "Turkestan" e "Mountain Bukhara" (1922-1923). Tra il 1925 e il 1930 svolse altre spedizioni etnografiche e per lo studio della pittura in Crimea, nel Caucaso e in Armenia. Con l'avvento del realismo socialista, tuttavia, perse il favore ufficiale. I primi dipinti di Kuznetsov sono tipici delle esplorazioni poetiche del gruppo della "Rosa blu" di un mondo interiore e immaginativo attraverso simboli archetipici. Dopo il 1910 attinse sempre più alla cultura popolare, continuando ad attingere alla ricca cromia e ai ritmi armoniosi dei simbolisti, ma semplificando le sue composizioni per rappresentare la vita quotidiana delle comunità dei villaggi del Kirghizistan in Asia centrale. Alcune delle sue opere più importanti sono conservate alla Galleria Tretyakov ("Fontana Blu", tempera, 1905; "Mattina", tempera, 1905; "Miraggio nella steppa", tempera, 1912; "Sera nella steppa", tempera, 1912).

Dopo il 1910 attinse sempre più alla cultura popolare, continuando ad attingere alla ricca cromia e ai ritmi armoniosi dei simbolisti, ma semplificando le sue composizioni per rappresentare la vita quotidiana delle comunità dei villaggi del Kirghizistan in Asia centrale. Alcune delle sue opere più importanti sono conservate alla Galleria Tretyakov ("Fontana Blu", tempera, 1905; "Mattina", tempera, 1905; "Miraggio nella steppa", tempera, 1912; "Sera nella steppa", tempera, 1912).

KUZNETSOV, PAVEL (1878-1968) - Fountain
Est: £250,000 - £500,000
KUZNETSOV, PAVEL Fountain, signed and dated 1904. Oil on canvas, 64 by 87 cm. Provenance: Important private collection, Europe. Authenticity of the work has been confirmed by the expert I. Geraschenko. Authenticity certificate from the expert I. Gofman. Related literature: For similar works, see L. Budkova, D. Sarabianov, Pavel Kuznetsov, Moscow, Sovetskii khudozhnik, 1975, pls. 6 and 8, illustrated; p. 320, Nos. 85 and 89, listed; p. 322, No. 96, listed. The appearance of Pavel Kuznetsov's Fountain at the forthcoming auction is a notable event. The symbolist "fountains" make up an extremely important stage in Kuznetsov's creative biography, a stage that largely determined the future development of Silver Age in Russian art and of symbolism in particular. The subject appeared in his canvases, becoming a favourite theme, between 1904 and 1907, even before the famous Blue Rose exhibition that formally inaugurated the legendary association. Kuznetsov is thought to have been inspired by the real fountains that he saw in his teenage years in his home town of Saratov on the Volga. In the future painter's memory, this artificial, ornamental source remained as an indelible recollection of the life-giving moisture and freshness that water the natural world, and it symbolised the flow of radiant, fantastic dreams. However, the image of Kuznetsov's fountains is amazingly attuned to the poetic and musical quests of his time and comes to be a kind of symbol of aesthetic world-weariness and decadent, transcendental and romantic yearning and expectation. In his "fountains", Kuznetsov showed himself to be a direct heir to Viktor Borisov-Musatov, who died early in life. But his compositions, so full of unaccountable sadness and meditative poetic sentiment, amount to a development on a different level. For instance, the work now offered tends towards harmony, which the artist sees as something intrinsic and mandatory for a coherent artistic image. His twilight, silver-shimmering colour scheme ushers the viewer into a dreamy ecstasy. By expressing abstract, universal ideas, the artist aspires to an amalgamation of thought and emotion. This elusive indefinability of content, its irreducibility to words and concepts, which presupposes the presence of something immaterial and something else, "superterrestrial", led to the emergence of a special language of colour and form in painting. Light lost its substance, and objects seemed to start emitting light themselves. As a result, the pictorial plane, which is perfectly "woven" like a tapestry, forms a kind of curtain, a veil over the distance that shows through behind it. The paint and even the very soil seem to be saturated with light, and this brings Kuznetsov's painting closer to fresco art. The blurred outlines of the figures in "Fountain", the ethereal, hazy contours of the drooping trees, just slightly wrapped in a covering of autumnal yellow, the mist, the fluidity and the half-wakeful, half-dreamy state of what is happening, come close, as if hiding the secret source of the awakening of life, to the cycle of the universe of the "mysterious fountain" described by Osip Mandelstam, who clothes his soul in a moist "robe of thought". The showing of Fountain at the auction is also important because a 1911 fire that occurred at The Black Swan, Nikolai Ryabushinsky's villa just outside Moscow, destroyed many canvases painted by members of the Blue Rose association and owned by the patron and collector. Pavel Kuznetsov's works were the main ones to suffer, since he had been given the principal role in decorating the interior of the mansion. This disaster, which occurred when the symbolist stage in the artist's work had almost ended, cast over Kuznetsov's works of the 1900s the veil of a lost dream, which so befitted them, and, to use Abram Efros's figura
