However, despite one hundred years, it's got not lost its relevance,giving the planet the spectacular rolling around in its cosmetics that could beautify even royal chambers. The simple fact the place is themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry picture.
- Please show somewhat of you and how you will get entered a hard-to-find art form - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has long been creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front end in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and 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 love for different types of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it turned out interesting. But a really strong impression on me picture I saw, came once to check out a pal. It had been a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different kinds of wood and composed like a mosaic, within a unit. I quickly was surprised, as much as possible, only using natural wood with no colors, make sport of texture and color to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the a few years decades would be to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today your situation is different or wooden inlay isstill only available on the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I do think that today the specific situation have not changed. True inlay available remains to be just the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct place on stream, won't be the masterpieces from the highest level.
- You know, el born 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 progression of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is a result of the possible lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which was the hallmark of this type of art in Russia. We had arrived in a position to take in the best of the setand create something of these diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to cope with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,able to create masterpieces away from wood?
- To date, the actual masters, able to create masterpieces of wood Body, because this form of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the different varieties of trees, the sense of taste, style and talent to post a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare keen on marquetry can be called through the names of everyone that is considered a professional in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- So far as today, popular products, made in the perception of marquetry? All things considered, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
