Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov. Graphic portrait of a woman with a book. 1915
Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov. Graphic portrait of a woman with a book. 1915 The cubo-futuristic composition shows a lady reading. Squinting her eyes, she carefully dug into the book, which she holds with her claw-hands. The entourage of clothes is well read. Wide semi-circular lines of the dress, a button on a la sailors collar. In addition to the pointed fox look of a pretty young lady, the artist adds character to her in wide cheekbones and lowered corners of a focused mouth. Indicates a high hairstyle-hat with feathers. Bangs and intense knowledge personifies the mirror reflection of the book in the ladys head. An open book with bangs of pages covers the head and forms a rhombus of the cornerstone of knowledge. The atmosphere is supplemented, apparently, by diffused light from behind the heroine’s back, where on the right at the bottom you can guess the corner of the locker, and above under the feathers, a fragment, possibly with a reduced projection, of a window from which light enters the interior. However, there is more observation of the random depth of character. In the lower right corner, the initials of the master and the date: AB, 1915 Kyiv. On the back, in blue pencil, is the signature of Bogmazovs widow Wanda: “I certify the work of AK Bogomazov: V. Bogomazov. The inscription was made during the sale of works in 1979.

Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov. Easel drawing Female portrait. 1916
Alexander Konstantinovich Bogomazov. Graphic Portrait of a woman. 1916 A sharp-nosed and pointed-eyed lady with a headscarf and a veil. Impulsive figure and nature with a cuboid head covered with a veil. With an obligatory attribute of beautiful femininity - a feather falling from the head and a handkerchief in a claw-shaped hand. Her frustrated determination does not bode well. But how good she is in anger! The zigzags in the lower right part of the work are a possible allusion to the touching beauty of corset lacing, which we notice in the lady of the diagonally descending street. However, in the depths of imagery, there is more of a warm feeling of impressionistic transience than of the coldness of avant-garde manifestation. In the lower right corner, the initials of the master and the date: AB, 1916. On the back, in blue pencil, is the signature of Bogmazov`s widow Wanda: “I certify the work: V. Bogomazov. The inscription was made during the sale of works in 1979. Half cardboard, charcoal pencil. 66.5 x52.3 cm.
