KONSTANTIN ALEXANDROVICH VYALOV (RUSSIAN 1900-1976)
Est: $50,000 - $70,000
KONSTANTIN ALEXANDROVICH VYALOV (RUSSIAN 1900-1976) Surami Pass, 1933 oil on canvas 99 x 79.5 cm (39 x 31 1/4 in.) signed, titled and dated lower right PROVENANCE Acquired from the family of the artist Collection of Victor Kholodkov Private Collection, New York Konstantin Vyalov was a well-known Russian (Soviet) painter, graphic and theatre artist known for his large-scale industrial and naval paintings as well as posters and book illustrations. In 1914-1917 studied at the Stroganov School of Applied Arts, reorganised during the revolution as GSKhM (Independent State Art Studios), better known as a part of VKhUTEMAS, where Vyalov studied under Kandinsky and Tatlin (1918-1920) and later Shterenberg (1920-1924). His early period was highly influenced by Malevich and the Constructivist and Suprematist movements at large. Vyalov was one of the founding members of OST (along artists such as Aleksandr Deyneka and Yuri Pimenov). After the dissolution of the collective, he became part of Izobrigada (1931-1932). Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Vyalov worked primarily as a book illustrator and on political and anti-religious posters (he would go on to also create a series of war posters for TASS` "Windows"), eventually turning to Social Realism. While traveling throughout the USSR in the early 1930s, Vyalov made a series of works documenting the industrialisation of the country, from Crimea, Turkmenistan, and the following work, painted in Georgia in 1933. Vyalov was apparently thrilled by the rapid appearance of technology (like the train at the focus of this composition) in predominantly-agrarian regions. From 1933 to 1940 Vyalov also designed the All-State Agricultural Exhibition, later known as the VDNKh trade shows. He exhibited frequently around the USSR (in 1923 along Popova, Rodchenko, Exter; in 1930 with Malevich) and abroad, including in Paris with Altman, Kandinsky, Mayakovsky, and Stepanova (1925), in Leipzig (1927) with Lissitzky, as well as in Berlin (1927, 1928), Venice (1932), New York (1933) and London (1934). His works are held in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and the Russian Museum, as well as smaller regional museums and private collections.

Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American istitutions.

RUSSIAN, 1900-1976 THE LAST COLLECTIVE FARMERS measurements 31 by 25 1/2 in. alternate measurements 78.8 by 64.8 cm signed in Cyrillic and dated 39 (lower right) oil on canvas PROVENANCE Sale: Phillips, London, November 27, 1989, lot 94, illustrated NOTE Konstantin Vyalov was a Moscow artist who studied under the greatest masters of the Russian avant-garde: Lentulov, Kandinsky and Tatlin. Their influences directed him to make stylistic choices in line with the Suprematist philosophy. He attempted at incorporating the concept of montage into his painting, by layering flat shapes of color to create imagery; this tendancy can still be seen in his later social realist work of the late 30s and 40s. Vyalov worked in all mediums, but is most renowned for his success in the graphic arts. His work has been exhibited internationally in Paris (1925), Berlin (1928), Venice (1932), New York (1933), London (1934), among others.
