Help identify the artist 50 - s oil on canvas 105 x 130 cm


Thanks in advance!

Wonder, sir.

Some very fine artist should be.

Signature contrast ...

Good job.
Shows some of the famous people (big size too as indicated).
Ask around in musical circles.
Shostakovich?
Vishnevskaya?
...
etc.

Is similar, and quite!

You are talking about what Vishnechkoy?

Hope is not about Galina Pavlovna?


Here she is in 1959:

I'm certainly not an avid physiognomist, but there is a certain similarity.

But you enough for such a statement:



Of course it is.
In women, two eyes, two ears, have a mouth and nose and on his head - the hair.

Well , of course, Shostakovich and Vishnevskaya <! - ~ 1 ~ -> , but the idea to ask around in musical circles of support . Best of all, it seems to me to apply to the Museum of the Bolshoi Theatre . They certainly have a photo of soloists and accompanists of those years.

In my opinion, the initial of the artist - whether a DA , or AA name - Er ... but references I did not find this .

In what city found a job?

  
The painting was bought in Estonia - Tallinn

tomas, but more important to you to determine the authorship of pictures or persons depicted on it?

tomas, addressed the participants of our forum with the nickname Valerit. If it is written Estonian artist , it is likely , Valerit knows.

If indeed this is the Estonian and Estonian artists artist , the purely speculative guess that shows Elsa Maazik . But the man rather than a composer and accompanist .

It seems to me that the signature can be read as " D. Bumblebee" . Yandex gives a mean information Shmelevo Dmitry Ivanovich (1918-1992 years) . He was born in Tambov , studied in 1950-1959 yy in the Estonian Art Institute . In 1958-1959 gg taught in Gorky , later moved there , joined the GOSKH . One can try to obtain therefrom a polrobnuyu information, in particular concerning the signature. In the picture , it is likely depicts the Tallinn Conservatory .

The database AI have pictures D.I.Shmeleva.
Signed by only one, and even then - a very big thank auction! - The signature is cut by half.
But it's better than nothing.
In my opinion, it is not - not in the manner or by the signature.


And here's the Estonian Theatre and Music Museum: http://tmm.ee/?s=10205
