KOSHARY. PAVEL KUZNETSOV (1878 - 1968) RUSSIA, 1912

KOSHARY. PAVEL KUZNETSOV (1878 - 1968) RUSSIA, 1912

A poetic and rare sheet from the flourishing period of Pavel Kuznetsov’s Symbolist painting, belonging to his celebrated “Steppe Cycle” of the 1910s. The composition is structured through broad horizontals, where the vault of the sky dominates the pictorial space and dissolves into subtle transitions of azure, lilac-pink and pearlescent tones. The low horizon, with barely indicated outlines of shepherds’ huts and rounded haystacks, evokes the boundless steppe and a contemplative stillness.The chromatic structure of the work is based on a refined contrast between cool celestial planes and warm ochre-golden expanses of land. The soft tempera technique on cardboard lends the surface a velvety texture and an inner luminosity characteristic of the artist’s works of this period. The laconic treatment of form and the generalized silhouette enhance the Symbolist nature of the image, in which a real motif is transformed into a poetic vision of space.The work is signed and dated on the reverse in ink: “Koshary. Pavel Kuznetsov 1912.”Dimensions: 19.3 x 29.5 cm.Material: Tempera on cardboard.Condition: Good collector’s condition. Minor traces of age, no visible paint losses.Provenance: Private collection.
