However, despite a hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the globe the spectacular in its beauty items that will beautify even the royal chambers. The actual fact the area has become themarquetry for the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry picture.
- Please inform us a little about yourself and just how you receive began in a hard-to-find art - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has been creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered on the list of masters in the industry one of 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 the photo I saw, came once to visit a buddy. It was a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different kinds of wood and composed being a mosaic, within a unit. Then I was surprised, as much as possible, using only natural wood with no colors, make game of color and texture to select ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years decades is always 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 meet the expense of only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I do believe that today the problem has not yet changed. True inlay available continues to be just the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. There isn't any doubt that theproduct wear stream, will never be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- You may already know, the bradenton area received the 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 linked to the progression of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is because of having less a unified style, a sort of layering, which was the hallmark of the form of art in Russia. I was capable of take in the best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit can only take care of marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable of create masterpieces beyond wood?
- To date, the true masters, able to create masterpieces of wood Body, since this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of the various species of trees, the sense of taste, style and skill to get a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry could be called by the names of everybody that's considered a specialist in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- As much as today, popular products, made in the perception of marquetry? In fact, they're a lot more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
