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.

Winter Landscape. River Bank in Winter. Boris Bessonov (1862-1934)

Winter Landscape. River Bank in Winter. Boris Bessonov (1862-1934)

The superb landscape River Bank in Winter by Boris Bessonov transports the viewer to the enchanted world of winter nature, filled with an atmosphere of cold and silence. Nature here is frozen in the moment, shrouded in a blanket of soft snow, which shimmers with pink reflections of the setting sun. The light of this warm evening sun heralds the end of winter, adding a special emotional depth to the painting. The main focus of the work is the river, calmly flowing among the snow-covered banks. Its surface, like a mirror, reflects the slender firs that rise above the water like majestic giants, filled with power and tranquility. The snow covering their branches creates a feeling of a winter dream of nature, in which every movement seems to be slowed down by the frosty air. The sky, painted in soft blue, pink and grey tones, adds a sense of approaching spring, promising the imminent awakening of nature. This work by Bessonov enchants with its realism and masterful use of light and colour. The artist managed to convey not only the winter beauty, but also the subtle transition from cold to warm, from winter to spring. The painting evokes feelings of peace and tranquility, recalling the cyclical nature of time and the eternal harmony of nature. Boris Bessonov (1862–1934) Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 63 cm x 80 cm. First half of the 20th century. Provenance: Rayner MacConnell, Bond Street, London
