That's what a story: I saw yesterday at Sotheby's Mark, a very beautiful and familiar - thought, Greene decided to sell its Mark at the auction, but no, this is a different brand, though the year is almost identical, and even the price is like:)

But in fact not surprising: he lived in a waterfront Great Augustini and wrote the view from the window. But both pictures, I think, wonderful, I work with Sotheby's love even more than Green's.

Yes ... But me, "Green's" even more love than Sotbisovskaya.
Or more like the photo - do not understand. Once he is softer, lighter, more succinct. And Sotbisovskom version of me something that crooked path annoying. But still be nice if Marche.:)

And I do not know myself what I like: Monday - Sotbisovskaya, its dramatic, today - The Green, transparency and the enlightened one.
In general, well, that I still do not have money, otherwise I would like Buridan's donkey (but donkey - that is another story):)

LCR, if it is no secret how much is the picture? And what kind of image sizes?

The price of one, in 1928, I confess, can not remember.
Green's, in my opinion, is worth (or cost, perhaps he had already sold it) 400000 euro, and score Sotbizovskoy like 350/450000 dollars.

But two more are sold (well, actually more, but these 2 I like):
The first 1928-29 gg., The second in 1917, both in the gallery Fabiena Bulak in Paris, prices did not know (found on artnet).

And I so like this, sunny day.:)

Nikolai Lapshin and Alexander Vedernikov - Leningrad artists. The press called them "markenistami" for the proximity of their manners to the manner of Albert Marquet. It just can talk about a successful crossing of the French and Russian traditions. What has happened in Russian culture repeatedly. This is typical of the culture in general all the interesting and important tends to enrich at the expense of something else significant and interesting.

Portfolio of Alexander Vedernikov (unfortunately these works do not give an idea of the artist's work fully, it is mainly watercolors and not the most successful that turned out to be on hand):

The works of Nikolai Lapshin:

Actually, they should have been called "marketistami" (Mark=Marquet):)

Quite agree with you. In general, crossing cultures (French art in the past was influenced by Italian, etc.), I think, and quite inevitably and very fruitful - there is nothing worse than isolationism, and no intention to lock themselves to not let myself.

Work Vedernikova very beautiful, especially 1, 3 and 7 (for me). The most "marketistskaya" work Vedernikov, again, in my opinion, the eighth, the other more typical "Leningrad", not least thanks to the techniques - watercolors (all for the watercolor of the 20 th century, I am a little cautious, I will not explain why it no one is interested).

As far Lapshin, must confess that special closeness can not see, except that last one? However, it is decorative, unmatched by Marc.
Do you agree?

They offered days.
His landscapes are just "branded": Peter, Neva ...
floating in anguish unexplained
among hurt by brick
night boat unquenchable
