George Rublev - Russian Matisse
 

The brilliant representative of the "Russian Avant-Garde" George Rublev, because life's circumstances is known as the socialist-realist schedule. It is very rare in the market, but I was fortunate to be involved in a number of masterpieces by this artist. Unfortunately, after the exhibition in 1934, which was his painting "Stalin in his chair, he had to drop out of the history of painting of the USSR until 1990.

George I. Rublev (1902-1975) was born and raised in Lipetsk. In 1922 he came to Moscow and entered into Higher Art (from 1926 - Vhutein), where he studied until 1930. His teachers were A. Osmerkin, SV Gerasimov, I. Mashkov. In his student years Rublev participated in exhibitions of art associations "Genesis" (1926), "Wing" (1927), "OMX" (1928), associated with the picturesque line of "Jack of Diamonds". Later, however, the artist demonstrates an interest not so much to the tradition bubnovovalettsev as a painting by Henri Matisse, Paul Kuznetsova. Particularly impressed by Rublev, by his own admission, made acquaintance with the works of Amedeo Modigliani and Niko Pirosmani. By the end of the 1920 master developed his own individual style. Restraint, color finesse, clarity plastic, chamber plots determine lyrical intonation of most of his works.

He also earned a monumental, and he wrote "in the table." After the death of the artist's heirs left a lot of pictures, hundreds of them. I have not even heard of it somewhere on sale. One of the year at Sotheby's and popped up for sale.
