The ability of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known generations ago. However, even after one hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the globe the astounding in the bath and body goods that will beautify even royal chambers. The simple fact the spot is currently themarquetry around the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry chairs.
- Please show a bit of you and just how you will get were only available in a hard-to-find art - marquetry.
- I used to be born in Sokol, Vologda region, my family is certainly creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front end in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it 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 desire for a variety of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. But a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to see a pal. It was a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different types of wood and composed being a mosaic, in a single unit. I quickly was surprised, wherever possible, using only natural wood minus the colors, make the sport of color and texture to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone would be the a number of decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the problem is different or wooden inlay isstill only available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I do think that today the problem has not yet changed. True inlay available is still merely the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct place on stream, will not be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- You know, el born area received the very best 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 associated with the growth and development of this art in various Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is due to deficiency of a unified style, some sort of layering, that has been the hallmark of this kind of art in Russia. I was able to soak up the very best of the setand create something of these diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only handle marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. The number of artists today,able to create masterpieces from wood?
- To date, the true masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, as this type of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with various types of trees, a feeling of taste, style and skill to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry may be called by the names of everybody that's considered a specialist in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, produced in the perception of marquetry? All things considered, they may be more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
