However, even though a hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the world the amazing in its beauty items that will beautify the royal chambers. The very fact the spot is now themarquetry around the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry picture.
- Please inform us somewhat about yourself and the way you get were only available in an infrequent talent - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has long been creative individuals. In accordance with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered on the list of masters available one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My love for a variety of applied art began during 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 buddy. It had been a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of kinds of wood and composed like a mosaic, within a unit. However was surprised, whenever possible, using only natural wood minus the colors, increase the risk for game of texture and color to select ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years decades is to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the problem changed or wooden inlay isstill purely available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I think that today your situation hasn't changed. True inlay available remains to be merely the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified forms of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct wear stream, should never be the masterpieces with the highest level.
- Everbody knows, this area received the highest flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely linked to the continuing development of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is a result of the lack of a unified style, a sort of layering, which was the hallmark with this type of art in Russia. We had arrived capable of absorb the very best of the setand create something of these diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to cope with marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,able to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Currently, the real masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood Body, simply because this type of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the different types of trees, the sense of taste, style and skill to grab a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry might be called with the names of everybody that is considered a specialist in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.
- As much as today, popular products, made in the appearance of marquetry? In the end, they may be more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
