Odalisque - a new article
 

Need this article
of litigation Vekselberg Christie's place.

Yeah, I do.
And believe me, with good reason.
But who is listening to them, it will be?

I may have missed this point, but from the article it is understood that Russian historians Natalia Semenova and Vladimir Poliakov /Natalia Semenova , Vladimir Polyakov found evidence that this " Odalisque " Kustodiev exhibited in Riga in 1932 with 42 other paintings from the collection of Leo Makovsky and even found her picture in any of the Riga Russian newspapers report about the exhibition. That is, at least 32 m, it already existed.
And indeed the collection L. Makovsky was, as I understood, serbeznaya and included works by such famous authors as Fyodor Roars , Vasily Surikov , Valentin Serov and Mikhail Nesterov.
In 1939, before his emigration from Latvia to Germany , a collector most of his collection sold, taking only small pictures, among which was this " Odalisque ." And already in 1989, widow sold it to Christie, s for £ 19,000 ( $ 51,000 ), and by the way , nobody in its authenticity questioned anything . :)>

Absolutely. Moreover, this has been known for at least two years ago, and I think - I wrote about it at the beginning of last summer, when discussing the history of the "Odalisque."
Moreover, it is no secret that one of the curators of the exhibition was the Riga-known Russian artist :)>, not only familiar with the very Kustodiev :)>, and excellent knowledge of the peculiarities of its brushwork, and would hardly miss the exhibit frank fufel.
Plus - unpublished until recently, drawing from Yaroslavl Museum, plus the canvas and the ground, and the ground identical canvases, Kustodiev those used during the creation of the picture under discussion, plus so much more. And now I'm sorry, was holding in his hands, and looked tinyscope. Nice old painting. All this said - talked over, but if, in the opinion of leading stch their employees GRC and timing (in the TG, to my knowledge, opinion is divided) - "legs shown not grow from there," and " couch it a bit short "- so, therefore, it is. Well, winter and flew to Tashkent. Polovtsian Dances half began with scientific debates (such as occurred in this forum a few years ago. On "Who is the author of Plato's" Naymichki ":D>) - Makovsky or Lucian Popov ...)
Picture - sorry. Thrown away, crazy woman, painting, ten years now with its mention of the public will suffer from spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm (hiccup, in other words) ...
Of course, ten years - is nothing compared to eternity, but still - sorry.
P.S. Leo - Ma a kovsky.

Figure that's just in the subject remember well.

Now I do not find this debate, which is a pity . Painfully Artists (those recitative ) then excited, and clearly (well, just that - not for myself ) have shown , from which place a true widow should grow a foot. And how to write the couch sogdasno latest guidelines of the Ministry of Higher Education. I remember my friend and I read aloud - and ugorayu .

So here they are - just give
with Yaroslavl pattern.
