However, despite a hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the world the astonishing in the beauty products that can beautify the royal chambers. The very fact the area has become themarquetry on the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry cabinets.
- Please reveal a little of you and how you obtain started in an uncommon talent - marquetry.
- I used to be born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters in the industry among the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for different types of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to check out a pal. It was a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different varieties of wood and composed as a mosaic, within a unit. Then I was surprised, whenever you can, using only natural wood with no colors, result in the bet on color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the many decades is usually to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today your situation changed or wooden inlay isstill only available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do believe that today the situation have not changed. True inlay available is still merely the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified forms of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct wear stream, will not be the masterpieces from the highest level.
- You may already know, the bradenton area received the highest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Continuing development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the progression of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is due to the possible lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which has been the hallmark of the kind of art in Russia. We had arrived capable to take up the very best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to cope with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable of create masterpieces out of wood?
- Currently, the masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the various types of trees, a feeling of taste, style and talent to get a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry could be called by the names of everyone that is considered an experienced in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- As far as today, popular products, made in the perception of marquetry? All things considered, they're more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
