However, even with a century, it's not lost its relevance,giving the globe the astonishing in its beauty items that can beautify even royal chambers. The actual fact the place has become themarquetry for the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry chairs.
- Please show somewhat about yourself and exactly how you obtain started in an uncommon form of art - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has been creative individuals. In line with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would have been a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered among the masters available one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My love for different types of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to go to a pal. It had been a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different types of wood and composed being a mosaic, in a single unit. However was surprised, whenever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, increase the risk for bet on color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the many decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the situation has changed or wooden inlay isstill purely available on the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do think that today the problem hasn't changed. True inlay available remains just the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified types of marquetry, however they are far inferior to manual work. There isn't any doubt that theproduct placed on stream, won't be the masterpieces of the highest level.
- You may already know, the bradenton area received the highest flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely for this progression of this art in various Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is caused by deficiency of a unified style, a sort of layering, which has been the hallmark of the type of art in Russia. I was in a position to absorb the very best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only take care of marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,able to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Up to now, the true masters, able to create masterpieces of wood Body, because this form of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different species of trees, the experience of taste, style and talent to grab a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry could be called by the names of everybody who is considered a specialist in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- As much as today, popular products, made in the perception of marquetry? In the end, they're more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
