However, even though one hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the world the astonishing in the cosmetics that can beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The very fact the spot is now themarquetry about the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry cabinets.
- Please inform us a bit about yourself and how you will get entered a rare talent - marquetry.
- I was born in Sokol, Vologda region, my loved ones has long been creative individuals. In accordance with the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in the front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and it was considered one of many 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 passion for a variety of applied art began throughout his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it absolutely was interesting. However a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to go to a pal. It had been a smaller operation onRussian folk tales, carved from bits of kinds of wood and composed as a mosaic, within a unit. I then was surprised, whenever you can, only using natural wood devoid of the colors, increase the risk for sport of color and texture to decide on ??? Only years later Ilearned it's my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone include the a number of decades is to learn this art and master it toperfection.
- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the specific situation has evolved or wooden inlay isstill only available for the elite?
- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only very rich people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich as well as the court nobility. I believe that today the problem have not changed. True inlay available remains to be only the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified kinds of marquetry, but they are far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct wear stream, won't be the masterpieces with the highest level.
- As you know, el born area received the greatest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?
- Progression of the Russian school of marquetry was closely associated with the growth and development of this art in various Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, in my view, is a result of the possible lack of a unified style, a type of layering, which has been the hallmark on this form of art in Russia. We had arrived able to take in the best of the setand create something with their diversity.
- In tsarist Russia unit could only handle marquetry, this kind of art require special knowledge and talent. What number of artists today,capable to create masterpieces beyond wood?
- Thus far, the real masters, capable of create masterpieces of wood - one, because this kind of art requires perseverance, attention,knowledge of the various species of trees, the sense of taste, style and ability to grab a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare keen on marquetry can be called with the names of everybody who is considered a professional in cases like this. Each master their ownstyle, a unique personality.
- So far as today, popular products, manufactured in the appearance of marquetry? In fact, they're more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly joined with modern design.
