Dear experts, tell me please
 

Please help me how to appreciate this painting or to make a review (whether it is necessary).
The story is - painting ended up in Germany after the war, and a few years ago has been presented in Germany for one person and taken to Russia.
The quality of photos wants the best -t.k. canvas not framed as simply lies folded.

Strange canvas.

About this artist Gusev personally I first heard of it.


Quite a rare example of glamor in these portraits, and with a full set of awards Comrade.
Stalin comes across very rarely.


How much does it cost?

Well, if you're lucky, you can and sell for 200 euros.

A technique is also unusual!
Basis (no canvas, herringbone weave, as in jeans)))) is not primed, apparently there are only sizing.
Strokes on the head are made semi-dry brush.
A portrait of the technique of execution is similar to the graphics.
:shy:

In EXP mentions the artist as Gusev Konstantin, born 1914
No more information about it I have not found.
Other Gusevs there, but their name does not begin with "K".


Portraits IV
Stalin, with two gold stars, indeed, very rare.

Yes, the modern thing.

The second Zol. star in 1945, received. There have been similar.
All the portraits of the leader with photos wrote.
 How many at that time was of orders, and writing.
Such a set (2 stars, 2 wins, 2 Order of Lenin), he was in 1945-1949gg
And if it is a modern copy, and in general

Make sense?

================


Very strange and obscure bug with the size of his ears: right (it) is much longer than the left.


But in general I do not remember such a mechanistic manner in 40 years: as if the deposition with photoshop.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union to the west in the 90 exported everything that relates to the period of WWII ... Perhaps that this portrait was written for a specific order ..

IMHO

Someone asked for a portrait of Stalin, and that's drawn.


And where is the West.
Painted for us and I think no matter what the West is not exported.

I also thought so. Perhaps even an artist with "south", or Chinese ... there's something in the manner of images. Technique of "dry brush", so it was called in the Soviet era, when artists have earned the portraits of "leaders" to process events, demonstrations, etc. This is a very "bread" were orders ... here on it looks like ... tissue, probably, was chosen from those times, shinelnoe cloth or the like ...
