where he was Ivan Mikhailovich after 1918?
|
In Moscow, he lived.
The first picture - a fragment of the phone book "All Moscow" for 1911. Scan not really, but thank you though this is.
A second picture - a fragment of the same handbook, but for 1923. And - the professor.
I agree with
tivat in all its assumptions, but what about churches of Vladimir - starting only from the fact that the owner of a lot of work there - very shaky assumption. On the other hand, the monastery's wall is very recognizable, so you can try to find the monastery on the old photo on it and look for the author.
No matter how hard, but the pre-revolutionary orthography not spotted.
I suppose that this owner's inscription made by hand, an elderly person.
Another suggestion: the inscription "№ 14 Carry icon" and owner's inscription made around the same time, obviously, after the revolution - perhaps for a large (posthumous?) Show large well of a Moscow artist, so even if study with an icon (!) On this exhibition ended. Perhaps the inscription needed because The exhibition was very large and the owner was afraid that a small plaque, although with a catalog number, get lost. Still very shaky assumption: the show was highly formal, pompous (but there's quite explain their motives will not
>).
intart1, you know something about the provenance of work?
Judging by the number of rooms at the back (the more modern hand made and modern ink and pencil) work in life was very rough, with a trip abroad in the past (marked QRO). And it seems to me that not all rooms - exhibition (auction?).
I wonder: was the owner of a collector, there is really a collection? No one accidentally similar possessory writing does not come across?
In any case, it is clear that the work had value to him - either as a memory (probably still about the artist, not the places, events, donor) or as part of the collection. So another way to search is viewed through a biography of the owner.
