The ability of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known 100's of years ago. However, even after a hundred years, it's not lost its relevance,giving the globe the astonishing rolling around in its beauty items that can beautify even the royal chambers. The simple fact the spot has become themarquetry for the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry cabinets.
- Please show somewhat with regards to you and how you receive were only available in a hard-to-find art form - marquetry.
- I became born in Sokol, Vologda region, my children is definitely creative individuals. According to the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died at the front end in 1943 in Leningrad, he would be a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was engaged in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters available one of the better. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands
My desire for various kinds 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 little operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different varieties of wood and composed as a mosaic, within a unit. However was surprised, whenever possible, only using natural wood minus the colors, increase the risk for game of texture and color to select ??? Only years later Ilearned it had become my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the years and decades is to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today your situation changed or wooden inlay isstill only available for 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 think that today your situation have not changed. True inlay available remains only the elite, butnew technologies let it produce simplified types of marquetry, however they are far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct wear stream, won't be the masterpieces in the highest level.
- You may already know, 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 from the progression of this art in numerous Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is due to the lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which has been the hallmark of this sort of art in Russia. We had been able to soak up good the setand create something of the diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit can only take care of marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,in a position to create masterpieces out of wood?
- Thus far, the true masters, able to create masterpieces of wood - one, since this sort of art requires perseverance, attention,familiarity with the different type of trees, the sense of taste, style and ability to grab a tree coloured, texture. Specialists, whoare attached to marquetry might be called with the names of everyone who is considered an experienced in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- As much as today, popular products, manufactured in design for marquetry? In the end, they're much more the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
