A magnificent bucket in the style of Russian Modern. A small masterpiece from the 11 artel. It embodies the fabulous world of Russian Art Nouveau and intertwines with the aesthetics of early Kandinsky, where epic beauty and adornment are a symbol of the moral greatness of man and the harmony of the universe. The bucket represents an original drawing, where the unity of the elements of nature and the change of times are combined in a decorative and mature abstraction. Belts of the finest shades symbolize the stability of the earth, the deep pool of waters and the lightness of the northern atmosphere. They are fused with pinkish spheres, a shining feather of a firebird or a night flower. And at the boat`s nose, like yin and yang, transformed by a Russian master into red and blue drops of a circle, the serene eternity of a transparent northern sunset splashes.
