Ale marquetry (inlaid wood) became known 100's of years ago. However, even after century, it's not lost its relevance,giving the entire world the spectacular rolling around in its cosmetics that could beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The very fact the area is currently themarquetry for the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of marquetry pictures.
- Please tell us somewhat of you and the way you will get were only available in an infrequent art form - marquetry.
- I became 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 would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered among the masters in the business one of 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 was interesting. But a really strong impression on me the photo I saw, came once to go to an associate. It was a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of different kinds of wood and composed like a mosaic, in a single unit. Then I was surprised, whenever you can, only using natural wood devoid of the colors, increase the risk for sport of texture and color to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the many decades is always to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the problem has evolved or wooden inlay isstill purely available for the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia could afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich along with the court nobility. I think that today your situation has not changed. True inlay available remains to be merely the elite, butnew technologies let produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. There's no question that theproduct put on stream, will not be the masterpieces of the highest level.
- Everbody knows, el born area received the highest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Growth and development of the Russian school of marquetry was closely for this growth and development of this art in different 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, that has been the hallmark with this type of art in Russia. We were in a position to take in the very best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to cope with marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,in a position to create masterpieces away from wood?
- Up to now, the masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, because this type of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the various type of trees, the sense of taste, style and ability to post a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare partial to marquetry might be called from the names of everyone that is considered a professional in such cases. Each master their ownstyle, its own personality.
- As far as today, popular products, manufactured in the style of marquetry? After all, they are similar to the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly along with modern design.
