Форум по искусству и инвестициям в искусство - Продам Kuznetsov, Kim Arkhipovich (1925)

- can be a little more detail about your collection?

- It has a picture of 40-ies, 50's, 60's - in general, the Soviet era, and is also present. The older the painting, I tell you, so it is interesting. For example, a picture of Kim Arkhipovich Kuznetsova (pointing to a picture of a girl in colorful dress sitting on a chair). Look at it and immediately feel the spirit of 60-ies. Sincere, trusting, clean look - a completely different era. What a good time, you think, looking at this picture! In our time, The Model of something and not find.

- And how did you find this picture?

- Kuznetsov - an interesting artist, studied with Saburo Abdrasulovichem Mambeevym, was friends with Eugene Matveyevich Sidorkin and his wife Gulfairus Mansurovnoy Ismailova. In 1984, after his death, all the pictures of the master's family dragged into the basement, since they have no interest. Last year I read in a book that in 1959 the artist Kim Kuznetsov was in a creative assignment in the city of Aral Kyzyl-Orda region and has written such a picture.

I was wondering how he painted my native land, the Aral in the period when there was a sea. The same day I found a widow Kuznetsova Vileninu Pavlovna, who also was an artist. This year, unfortunately, has died, but I managed to talk to her. It turns out that all the paintings remained with his second wife - Svetlana Grigorevny. Having learned the address, I ran into the second seven Kuznetsova. I was met with bewilderment: why do you need old pictures? The answer is that I - a collector, pull out all the pictures from the basement, I'll buy! And I say: oh, we have no time. In general, almost daily called them: "Well, they drew pictures of the cellar?" And finally achieved his goal. It turned out that almost all legacy Kuznetsova - about 200 paintings - lay in the basement. Ask me: how much will be buying? Apparently, at first they did not anticipate that I would call a fair price. Immediately nodded approvingly: "The money we renovate the house." What's interesting is, a week after me to the family of the Kuznetsov in search of his paintings have already contacted other collectors. It turns out, lucky me! To find a collector of paintings, such Kuznetsov - rare!
