The very fact the area is now themarquetry around the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of marquetry work.
- Please reveal somewhat about yourself and just how you will get entered an infrequent art form - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has long been creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in 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 on the list of masters in the business one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My desire for various kinds of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to go to a buddy. It turned out a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different varieties of wood and composed like a mosaic, in a single unit. I quickly was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, result in the game of texture and color to pick ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone include the a few years decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today your situation changed or wooden inlay isstill only obtainable on the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I do believe that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains to be exactly the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but they are far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct put on stream, will not be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- Everbody knows, this 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 associated with the development of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is because of the lack of a unified style, some sort of layering, that was the hallmark on this kind of art in Russia. I was capable of take in the best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to deal with marquetry, this sort of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable of create masterpieces out of wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood Body, as this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of the various varieties of trees, a feeling of taste, style and talent to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry could be called with the names of everybody who is considered a specialist in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.
- As much as today, popular products, stated in the perception of marquetry? All things considered, they are more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
