fross, is quite true. Caught in the top ten. Thank you. If history is known to many, can tell it makes little sense, but tomorrow will try to show how the picture was mounted.

In my opinion, to tell the meaning is. Something tells me that your story will be more interesting that wrote about this "Kommersant "...:)

In "Komersant" Baku argued that the thing was not of their museum.

In May 2005, was sold Makduggalse work Larionov imaginary journey to Turkey in 1910 for a fairly decent amount of about 900 thousand dollars. Shortly after the auction appeared in the media information that contradicts provenance pictures. (See above footnote from Fross).
My friends, people are not far from art, been to the viewing of works, expressed its deep in the authenticity of this work. One of them. Good specializing in paint technology, to the naked eye noticed that the paint (especially cobalt) used in the picture, could not exist in 1910. Yes, and many differences in style, strokes, etc.

In 2005, the boom in Russian art, and the more avant-garde was at the peak, the new Russian everywhere was full, was not measured by money, and therefore in the halls of auctions were battles between Vasyami and Petyami,
embody his idea of a private home muzeychikov. Money was swell, but the knowledge and experience for the money can not buy it ...
Well it is, in general.

We will try to lay out his analysis of how the idea of this work.

Leafing through the monograph Yevgeny Kovtun Mikhail Larionov, "published by Parkstone Press, illustration for illustration, I immediately noticed an interesting coincidence. The original work of Larionov's "The Turk and the Turk" 1910 is located in the Russian Museum. This series (I stress - of the series) "an imaginary journey to Turkey." Experienced guys decided to create another work from this series, but already his. By bringing in different elements of the composition and characters of the real work Larionov created their own pseudo-version.

Look.
At 1, 2 photos - Work with Makduggalsa
3 photos - the original work with the Russian Museum.
In both works the same character - the Turks and Turk, Turks smokes here and there, his red vest with a yellow belt, and here and there, with the wall bars, resembling the configuration of cabinets with shelves to the original museum work.

On the other paintings from the same series "The Turk" (8 th photo) went on Makdugalsovskuyu color trousers, cross-garters for stockings (let's call them so), accentuating the shape of cross walls, a red cap with Larionovskogo Turka migrated to the pseudo-Turk.

Orange pants with a pseudo-Turk were borrowed from the next reproduction in the book Kovtun ( "Pastoral. Turkish Idyll"), 1911 (11 photos).\r\nThere were also, of course, without a peacock, which resembles a bird with ease guashnogo picture (13 photos), but the shape and direction of gaze shifted from the work of the Peacock in 1910. (14 photos).

Notice how the Turkish woman dressed in a pseudo-movie. Razkoshistoe neckline and all the charm in it. Photo 15. (at this moment I will focus your attention below). At 15-16 photo Larionov introduced Turkish women in typical female clothing period of 1910. I think that there is a significant difference between Turkish women clothing from the originals and Makduggalsa. I do not think that the Turk had the opportunity in this stage to sit in a blouse with a neckline and at the same time be chelmu on the head. See the photo fragments.
Where did the idea of cleavage?
Ironically, flipping through a monograph on, find a summary of zemetku Pirosmani (we talked a lot about it yesterday) and I find a reproduction of one of his works - photo 18. Not like?

I have the impression that the guys have worked on this painting, it is guided by the monograph Kovtun.

And someone said that we have their spies there. There is, moreover what!

Oh, how interesting! Thank you!

OlegTsi, are in fact must be admitted, "have made" a very high quality of the Turks.\r\nBut that's the story with the museum but also creates noise Azerbaijani negotivnogo sound. In vain are they. Here, a puncture in the creation of a legend. "Provenance" worse than the "works". Even sorry for the "producers" ... :D
