      • MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984)
        Mar. 07, 2018

        MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984)

        Est: $6,000 - $8,000

        MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984) Ladder, 1914-1916 oil on board 36 x 23.5 cm (14 3/16 x 9 1/4 in.) EXPERTISE Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Aleksandr Parnis of the Independent Scientific Research Expertise center named after P.M. Tretyakov. (Available upon request). Maria Sinyakova's Ladder is part of an early cycle of biblical works painted in Kharkov throughout the 1910s and extant in no more than twenty works. Ladder provides an excellent illustration of Sinyakova's eclectic style, one that the artist herself characterised as a synthesis of traditional icon-painting, Russian and Ukrainian folk art, Islamic miniatures, and French Modernism. The conflation of the above results in an avant-garde interpretation of conventional forms, as in the tree crowns, modelled here as near-perfect circles. Silhouetted against a gold-and-green ground reminiscent of early Byzantine Christian art, the women, heads and arms bent energetically, are positioned in a rhythmic pattern across the composition. In choosing simple yet expressive shapes, Sinyakova deftly manipulates conventional iconographic prototypes into a remarkably modern icon. The women’s blank oval faces, framed by burnt-sienna headdresses, as well as the coiled fawns (featured also in Sinyakova's Myrrhbearers as a decorative element), serve as accentuated bursts of red — a colour common in Eastern iconography, particularly for the cycle of the Passion and other monumental events. Sinyakova rarely made the narratives of her icon paintings evident, opting instead, as here, for more symbolic readings, but Ladder likely corresponds to the Dormition of the Virgin (known in the Western tradition as the Assumption).

      • MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984)
        Mar. 07, 2018

        MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984)

        Est: $4,000 - $6,000

        MARIA MIKHAILOVNA SINYAKOVA (RUSSIAN 1890-1984) Myrrhbearers, 1914-1915 oil on board 24 x 17.8 cm (9 7/16 x 7 in.) EXPERTISE Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Aleksandr Parnis of the Independent Scientific Research Expertise center named after P.M. Tretyakov. (Available upon request). Maria Sinyakova's Myrrhbearers is part of an early cycle of biblical works painted in Kharkov throughout the 1910s and extant in no more than twenty works. In Western iconography, the narrative is better known as the Three Marys at the Tomb. Myrrhbearers provides an excellent illustration of Sinyakova's eclectic style, one that the artist herself characterised as a synthesis of traditional icon-painting, Russian and Ukrainian folk art, Islamic miniatures, and French Modernism. The conflation of the above results in an avant-garde interpretation of conventional forms, as in the tree crowns, modelled here as near-perfect circles. Silhouetted against a gold-and-green ground reminiscent of early Byzantine Christian art, the myrrhbearers, heads and arms bent softly, are positioned in a rhythmic pattern across the picture plane; their headdresses mirroring the white-stone church in the background. In choosing simple yet expressive shapes, Sinyakova deftly manipulates conventional iconographic prototypes into a remarkably modern icon.
