Completely insane price for a painting of Danzig.

Stozharau VF " Bath " . 1961 .


http://www.sothebys.com/app/ecatalog...mgSize = 338 /

Very interesting Stozharau . Theme for him is not the most common - as a habit of waiting for his landscapes , and there are luxury nude in Russian bath :) " But this is absolutely recognizable , " stozharovskaya " painting ...
Maybe I 'm wrong , but in my opinion , such work - it's sort of a small opening in the work of recognized masters.

Here here you can look at another one of the options future picture , compare .
In fact , VF Stozharau , worked on the theme of " Bathhouse " from late 50 's to 1961 .
Planned for the big picture , whiling away , alas, has not been written .

Thanks , it was interesting to see this sketch . It is obvious that Stozharau began seriously to develop a theme.

Alas , of course , but I must say that the picture provided by Sotheby's , already presentedin all the features of the deep self work . Not only larger and elaborate set it apart from the one shown you sketches , but also that the theme is the artist completely uncovered .
Difficult for me to believe that even if Vladimir Fedorovich conceived and wrote a large canvas - it would be very different in composition and coloring of this work . To her , in my opinion , nothing can not add - says it all . And he answered brilliantly - the language of painting .

Very accurately you wrote . It really is option number 2, where VF Stozharau stopped on the final version .
And this thing is almost finished , you are also right .
Yes, you can compare options .
1 . '3 Women in the bath house ' in 1958 , 29 x 42 cm.
2 . Bath , a sketch for the painting [2] 1961 , 47h70 ( since the author signed on back ) .
3 . Fragment .

But the image thumbnails to Bane.

Incidentally , this bath was in that year were imported for temporary to Russia , Alexander Vladimirovich Stozharovu shown ( to our dear Granddaddy, God rest his soul ) , he confirmed the authenticity of this work and issued a certificate of authenticity to the owner Facility VF Stozharova .

Here are some sketches for this stuff :
