However, despite century, it has not lost its relevance,giving the globe the astounding in its beauty products that will beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The simple fact the area is currently themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry portraits.
- Please inform us a little of you and exactly how you will get started in a hard-to-find art - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children has long been creative individuals. In accordance with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front 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 industry the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My desire for several types of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. But a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to check out an associate. It absolutely was a little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different varieties of wood and composed as a mosaic, within a unit. However was surprised, wherever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, make the game of texture and color to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned rrt had been my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone are the many decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only very wealthy people, today the situation has changed or wooden inlay isstill purely available towards the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do believe that today the problem have not changed. True inlay available remains to be just the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct placed on stream, should never be the masterpieces of the highest level.
- As you know, this 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 for this 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 caused by having less a unified style, some sort of layering, which was the hallmark on this type of art in Russia. We had been capable of take up good the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to cope with marquetry, these kinds of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,capable to create masterpieces beyond wood?
- To date, the actual masters, able to create masterpieces of wood - one, as this sort of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the various varieties of trees, the experience of taste, style and ability to get a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare keen on marquetry could be called with the names of everybody that's considered a specialist in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, manufactured in design for marquetry? All things considered, they're a lot more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
