However, even with century, they have not lost its relevance,giving the planet the astounding in the beauty items that can beautify even royal chambers. The actual fact the spot is currently themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of marquetry furniture.
- Please show just a little about yourself and exactly how you receive began in a rare form of art - marquetry.
- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children has been creative individuals. In accordance with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he would have been a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered on the list of masters in the industry one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My passion for different types of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. However a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to go to a pal. It turned out a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from items of kinds of wood and composed as being a mosaic, in one unit. However was surprised, whenever possible, using only natural wood with no colors, increase the risk for sport of texture and color to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be 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 has changed or wooden inlay isstill only obtainable to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I do believe that today your situation has not yet changed. True inlay available is still only the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. It is obvious that theproduct wear stream, won't be the masterpieces with the highest level.
- You know, el born area received the best flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Continuing development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely linked to the continuing development of this art in several Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is a result of the possible lack of a unified style, a sort of layering, that has been the hallmark on this sort of art in Russia. We were in a position to soak up the best of the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only take care of marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable to create masterpieces from wood?
- To date, the masters, capable to create masterpieces of wood - one, as this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different species of trees, the sense of taste, style and talent to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry can be called through the names of everyone who's considered a specialist in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.
- As far as today, popular products, stated in the appearance of marquetry? After all, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
