However, even with a century, it's got not lost its relevance,giving the entire world the spectacular in its cosmetics that will beautify perhaps 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 pictures.
- Please inform us a bit of you and exactly how you get started in a rare form of art - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has long been creative individuals. In line 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 engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered one of the masters in the commercial among the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My love for a variety of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to see a friend. It turned out a tiny operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different kinds of wood and composed as a mosaic, in a single unit. I then was surprised, whenever possible, using only natural wood minus the colors, increase the risk for game of texture and color to select ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone include the a number of decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the specific situation is different or wooden inlay isstill only accessible for the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I do believe that today your situation hasn't changed. True inlay available remains to be only the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but you are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct placed on stream, should never be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- As you know, el born area received the best flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Progression of the Russian school of marquetry was closely linked to the progression of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, for me, is a result of having less a unified style, a type of layering, which has been the hallmark of the sort of art in Russia. We had arrived capable to take in good the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit are only able to handle marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. The amount of artists today,able to create masterpieces away from wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, because this sort of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of various types of trees, the sense of taste, style and ability to get a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry could be called by the names of everyone who is considered an expert in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- In terms of today, popular products, manufactured in the appearance of marquetry? In fact, they are a lot more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly combined with modern design.
