Figure without attribution
 

Dear Guru! Help to find out something about this figure:
Author unknown.
Drawing on the skin of dirt, pencil, it seems that the graphite, but it does not shine as graphite, not smeared.
Size 30,5 x39 cm
Established unknown.
No inscriptions and no signs, either the front or the back side.
Good condition, the crack is, but did not showered.
Expert opinion - no
Figure bought by me personally in St. Petersburg on the specific, in 1991, for 50r. By the way is not cheap in those days. I bought it it because he liked the picture, and cool, that on the skin. And always interesting, how often do artists have used the skin as a basis? I have never met. Typically, oil on board ...
I would be grateful for any information.

Information can not give, but the picture I really liked.
If its owner was I would call his "Portrait Filonova.

I call it easier, conditionally of course, "Gonchar"

kirill, "pottery" in St. Pete a lot (LPF, LFZI), and Filonov one!
As has been said here, "Name portrayed increases capitalization works. :)

A Filonov that for a person? This is an artist in my opinion, this was? I heard something. (fill in if I am mistaken, I apologize for the darkness)

Yes like Filonov.
One of the most (if not most) significant artists of the 20 th century. Ask a lot of information search. And in the discussion at the forum must read.

CHERTVOZMI!!!! Really like!! Only in the photo, in my opinion, he is younger. A Filonov then, I feel alone, have probably slept? If so, at what age? And whether he modeling?

Rather like the Indian potter ..

Cyril, the first thing I thought when I saw your photo, this picture zek. That's why he made on the skin - scrap materials that were available. Maybe I'm wrong, but blows some "samostrokom. Do not be angry.

Colleagues! Note: kirill, I think, the first novice, who wisely asked, apparently reading "list of Eugene.
Kirill, thank you!
And what is in the bottom right corner - on a similar figure 8, there is no monogram hour?

Eugene, as you have access to Central Asia is no association does not occur? Still very professional image. I think that probably the author - a professional artist, repressed, and then exiled to Central Asia (or moving there himself after his release). Another option: war, evacuation.
