He lived in Ukraine, Leningrad, and Moscow. Studied in VKhUTEMAS from Kupreyanov. From 1926 on Boim participated in hundreds of exhibitions at home and abroad. He exhibited with such prominent artists as N. Altman, S. Chekhonin, G. Klutsis, V. Lebedev, El Lissitzky, K. Malevich, L. Popova, A. Rodchenko, V. Tatlin, P. Filonov, Stenberg Brothers, and V. Stepanova. His favorite subjects included architecture and cityscapes (mostly Leningrad/St. Petersburg and Moscow), nautical themes and the Navy, and Great Patriotic War. Boim's paintings were influenced by Socialist Realism and Russian Impressionism. Boim's works are widely recognized. They may be seen in the former Soviet Union in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and other major museums.This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev.

MARCEL JANCO (ROMANIAN 1895-1984)Grand Collage Dada,oil, collage and tempera on linen51.5 x 70 cm (20 1/4 x 27 1/2 in.)signed lower leftPROVENANCESotheby's New York, 7 October 2008, lot 65Acquired at the above by current ownerESSAYRomanian-born visual artist, architect, art theorist and leading exponent of Constructivism in Eastern Europe. However, most notably he is the co-inventor of Dadaism, co-writing and contributing to the Simbolul a Romanian art Magazine, working jointly with Ion Vinea and Tristan Tzara. Janco explored Art Nouveau, Futurism and Expressionism. In 1919 Janco departed with Dada and later founded a Constructivist circle, Das Neue Leben with fellow abstract artist Hans Arp. Janco’s art was revolutionary, envisioning a new and unique way of urban planning, designing innovative landmarks of his hometown Bucharest. While Janco remained one of the leading Romanian Jewish intellectuals of his generation, he was not immune from anti semitic persecution before and during World War II causing him to relocate to Palestinian Mandate. Here, he became increasingly involved with the local artists, Janco had a formative influence on the development of modern Israeli art, awarded the Dizengoff Prize and Israel Prize while founding Ein Hod, a utopian art colony. Janco created art in a multitude of forms, including illustration, sculpture and oil painting. This lot is a prime example of Dadaism, constructivism and expressionism that Marcel Janco achieved throughout his artist career.CONDITIONObserved in frame, the painting appears in good condition.

Roerich, Agni Publishing, Gallery of Art Academy, Art Center Kunstberatung. Samara-Moscow-Zurich, 2011. Vol 2, pg. 458 (illustrated)LOT NOTESWhen Nicholas Roerich published a monograph of 62 of his works in 1924, he chose to include two landscapes from his stay in Karelia (1917-1919). One of the two is the present work, painted in 1917, a landscape of Lake Hympola (Hymppelä in Finnish). His choice suggests that Roerich held this painting in particularly high regard and it remains one of the best representations of what was a prolific period in his artistic career.The calm waters and vibrant blues of this work betray none of the turmoil that surrounded Roerich's personal life during this time. He was suffering from chronic pneumonia and had just fled from Russia to escape the violence and chaos of the Revolution. He settled in the Lake Ladoga area, living on the Yhinlahti estate with his family, and painted almost 100 works in 1917 alone. That year was marked by struggle. Letters to friends reveal a lingering sense of detachment and depression, and more than one of his Karelia landscapes lack the life that he was so desperately seeking.This painting was a breakthrough, proof that Roerich could retaliate against adversity by immersing himself in waters and rock formations that had stood the test of time. He grounds himself on a ledge, inviting the viewer to sit with him and gaze across the lake, past the distant mountain range and cloud formations. The vast distance between the brown rock in the foreground and the deep blue horizon is not unlike Roerich's own journey from sickness and strife to hope and a renewed sense of purpose. In the middle, the rocks display an intense battle between the elements, full of conflicting twists and turns. But, despite the cool Northern light, tiny flecks of deep golden yellow peak out from the icy blues, signs of warmth in a desolate landscape.Roerich exhibited most of the works painted in 1917-1918 in his personal exhibitions in Stockholm (November, 1918), as well as Copenhagen and Helsinki (1919) and later London (1920. The present work was almost certainly among them, even though we are unable to identify it in the exhibition catalogs as the titles of the Karelia landscapes kept changing at the time.We would like to thank Gvido Trepša, Senior Researcher at Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York, for providing catalogue information.CONDITIONObserved out of frame, the painting appears in age-appropriate condition.
