However, even after century, they have not lost its relevance,giving the world the astonishing in its beauty products that could beautify even the royal chambers. The fact the area is now themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry bed.
- Please show somewhat about yourself and exactly how you receive started in an uncommon talent - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children is certainly creative individuals. In line with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered on the list of masters in the business among the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for various kinds of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it turned out interesting. However a really strong impression on me picture I saw, came once to check out a pal. It was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different types of wood and composed as a mosaic, within a unit. I then was surprised, whenever you can, only using natural wood without the colors, increase the risk for sport of color and texture to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a number of decades is usually to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the situation changed or wooden inlay isstill only available to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I believe that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains to be just the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified kinds of marquetry, however they are far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct put on stream, should never be the masterpieces of the highest level.
- You may already know, this area received the greatest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely for this continuing development of this art in various Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is a result of the lack of a unified style, some sort of layering, that was the hallmark with this form of art in Russia. We had been capable to take up the very best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to take care of marquetry, this sort of art require special knowledge and talent. The number of artists today,in a position to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Thus far, the masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood - one, since this type of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the different varieties of trees, the sense of taste, style and talent to pick up a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry might be called from the names of everyone who is considered an experienced in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- As much as today, popular products, produced in the perception of marquetry? In fact, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
