Est: €1,000 -
Gerasimov, Aleksandr M Szenischer Bühnenentwurf für den 1. Akt von Aleksandr Ostrovskijs Komödie "Der Wald". Gouache auf Papier. Unten rechts signiert. Verso in Rot rechts unten bezeichnet und signiert sowie mit einer flüchtigen Skizze. Ca. 1937. Blattgröße: 38 x 62 cm. Unter Passepartout montiert. Aleksandr M. Gerasimov (1881-1963) war einer der bekanntesten russischen Künstler des sowjetischen Großen Stils. Seine künstlerische Ausbildung absolvierte er am MUZhVZ u.a. bei K. Korovin und V. Serov. Der Einfluss des Impressionismus tritt in den 1930er Jahren hinter das Talent zur Gestaltung "ähnlicher" historischer Sujets und "lebensfroher" Porträts zurück, die ihn zum mehrfach prämierten Lieblingskünstler der Nomenklatura aufsteigen ließen. Die Arbeiten für das Theater sind dagegen weniger offiziös. Das vorliegende Blatt gestaltete der Künstler offenbar für die Aufführung im Malyj Teatr 1937 in der Inszenierung von L. Prozorovskij, dem entspricht unsere Datierung. - Das leicht unregelmäßig beschnittene Blatt geringfügig braunfleckig. Verso mit Resten einer alten Montierung. Die Fixierung der Farbschicht ist geringfügig berieben.

Est: £130,000 - £160,000
*GERASIMOV, ALEXANDER (1881-1963) Still Life with Lilacs, signed, also further signed, titled in Cyrillic and dated "60e g." on the reverse. Oil on canvas, 135.5 by 109.5 cm. Provenance: Private collection, USA. Literature: V. Swanson, Soviet Impressionist Painting, Woodbridge, Antique Collectors' Club, 2008, p. 367, pl. 295, illustrated and listed. Still Life with Lilacs was painted by Alexander Gerasimov, one of the most renowned artists in the USSR and a talented Realist who gained recognition with his large-scale portraits of the Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, as well as the famous marshal, Kliment Voroshilov. However, his landscapes and still lifes were also very highly regarded and are now considered part of Russia's fine art heritage. Gerasimov's works are now in the collections of Russia's principal museums, the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum and the State Historical Museum. Gerasimov studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where his teachers were Mikhail Klodt (Landscape), Leonid Pasternak (Still Life), Valentin Serov, Konstantin Korovin and Apollinary Vasnetsov (Painting). Of all of these, it was Korovin who had the biggest creative impact upon the budding artist. Further, it was also him who introduced Gerasimov to the work of the Impressionists and his influence can be traced throughout his pupil's oeuvre. Still Life with Lilacs is a case in point; its luscious palette and the artist's rendering of glittering sunlight make the painting a prime example of Soviet Impressionism. The masterfully executed structure of the red cloth, as well as the meticulously elaborated voluminous lilac branches confirm Gerasimov's exceptional talent. However, his mastery of painting reaches its peak in his conveying the texture of objects and the practically invisible sunlight flecks on the soft fabric and polished wood of the table, reflected onto the carafe and deflected through the water in the glass jug. Similar to Gerasimov's early masterpiece After the Rain. Wet Terrace, the offered work, which was executed in his mature years, is almost entirely made up of sunlight. This bright, fresh and inexplicably tangible painting is utterly attractive and captivating.

Shabelnikov, Aleksandr Gerasimov, Moscow, Izobrazitel'noe iskusstvo, 1988, pl. 143, illustrated. The canvas Taras Bulba is the result of Aleksandr Gerasmiov's long held fascination with Gogol's eponymous novel which culminated in the artist illustrating the 1950s edition. Gerasimov devoted equal attention to all the aspects of the design, producing not only the larger watercolour illustrations, but also the tail-pieces, head-pieces and other smaller elements. The scenes he chose to depict are largely dynamic crowd scenes populated with Gogol's vivid character types. He often repeated the subjects of his illustrations in large canvasses, as is the case with the present lot, which is a variation of a watercolour now in the collection of the Donetsk Regional Art Museum entitled Stop! The Snuff-Box has Fallen! In the present lot, Gerasimov unusually employs tempera, achieving a matte, antiquated effect appropriate for the depiction of a historic battle scene. The rapid, broad brushstrokes, the sketchily-painted grass and charging riders in the background generate the effect of intense action. However, the figure of Taras Bulba, who has come screeching to a halt, his arm raised signalling for his convoy to stop, takes centre stage. The high drama of the scene is created by this sudden interruption to the action, the cause of which is the loss of the snuff-box, as suggested by the title of the watercolour version of the present work.

GERASIMOV, ALEXANDER (1881-1963) Herd on the Collective Farm , signed twice and dated 1958 and 1959. Oil on canvas, 116.5 by 180 cm. Provenance: Collection of the artist's family, Moscow. Galleria Marco Datrino, Italy. Private collection, Europe. Exhibited: Arte Sovietica, dal regime alla perestrojka 1930-1985, Galleria Marco Datrino, Torre Canovese, 1992. Ot realizma k iskusstvu, Pushkin House, London, June 2008. Stalin's Velázquez. Aleksandr Gerasimov and the Alchemy of Power, Leonid Shishkin Gallery, London, 1 November-5 December 2012. Literature: Exhibition catalogue, Arte Sovietica, dal regime alla perestrojka 1930-1985, Torre Canovese, Galleria Marco Datrino, 1992, p. 34, No. 28, illustrated. Exhibition catalogue, Ot realizma k iskusstvu, London, Pushkin House, 2008, p. 17, illustrated. Exhibition catalogue, Stalin's Velázquez. Aleksandr Gerasimov and the Alchemy of Power, London, Leonid Shishkin Gallery, 2012, illustrated. Herd on a Collective Farm dated 1958-1959, is an excellent example of the work of Aleksandr Gerasimov's late career. His lifelong respect for the accomplishments of Impressionism - the consequence of his studies at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture under Konstantin Korovin, the most revered representative of the movement in Russia - is obvious. Gerasimov's brushstrokes are broad and fluid and he places much emphasis on conveying the changing effects of nature on the canvas. Despite the sun, there are grey clouds overhead auguring an approaching storm, and a general heaviness is descending over the herd and milkmaids. The line of the horizon has been shifted down creating a sense of monumentality and the ominous clouds gathering while the animals idly lie scattered about the field create drama. The artist cuts off the figures of the animals and the milk churns in the foreground, further adding to the sense of vastness of the space. The chief protagonists are the peasant milkmaids and the animals themselves - prosaic characters, to whom the artist devotes his full attention, bestowing them with a sort of everyday heroism - whose simple, honest labour allows for the development of the country.
