However, even after a century, it's not lost its relevance,giving the entire world the spectacular in its bath and body goods that could beautify the royal chambers. The very fact the area has become themarquetry around the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry panels.
- Please show just a little about yourself and how you get were only available in a rare talent - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children is certainly creative individuals. In accordance with 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 engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of many masters in the industry the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for several types of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to go to a friend. It had been a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different kinds of wood and composed as a mosaic, in a single unit. I then was surprised, whenever you can, only using natural wood without the colors, result in the game of texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the a few years 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 problem is different or wooden inlay isstill only available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I think that today the situation have not changed. True inlay available continues to be only the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified forms of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct placed on stream, will never be the masterpieces with the highest level.
- You may already know, the bradenton area received the highest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the growth and development of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is caused by having less a unified style, some sort of layering, which was the hallmark of this kind of art in Russia. We were capable of soak up the very best of the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit can only handle marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,capable of create masterpieces away from wood?
- To date, the true masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, as this type of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of the various varieties of trees, a feeling of taste, style and ability to post a tree in color, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry can be called with the names of everyone who is considered an expert in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- As much as today, popular products, stated in the appearance of marquetry? All things considered, they're much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
