The skill of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known hundreds of years ago. However, even after a hundred years, they have not lost its relevance,giving the planet the spectacular in their beauty products that will beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The fact the spot is themarquetry on the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry panels.
- Please reveal a bit of you and how you will get were only available in a hard-to-find form of art - marquetry.
- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has been creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered on the list of masters in the commercial one of the best. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My adoration for several types of applied art began in his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the image I saw, came once to go to a pal. It absolutely was a tiny operation onRussian folk tales, carved from pieces of different types of wood and composed like a mosaic, within a unit. However was surprised, as much as possible, only using natural wood devoid of the colors, make the bet on texture and color to choose ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the years and 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 specific situation is different or wooden inlay isstill only accessible to the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia meet the expense of only very wealthy people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and the court nobility. I believe that today your situation has not yet changed. True inlay available remains only the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified forms of marquetry, however they are far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct placed on stream, will never be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- Everbody knows, the bradenton area received the greatest flowering of art in Europe is different than a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely associated with the progression of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my opinion, is a result of the lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which was the hallmark of this sort of art in Russia. We had been in a position to soak up the very best of the setand create something of their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only cope with marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,in a position to create masterpieces from wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, able to create masterpieces of wood - one, simply because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,understanding of the various species of trees, the experience of taste, style and ability to get a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry could be called through the names of everyone who is considered an experienced in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its very own personality.
- As far as today, popular products, stated in the perception of marquetry? In the end, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
