Romanov, Tovarishchestvo peredvizhnyh hudozhestvennyh vystavok 1871-1923, St. Petersburg, Encyclopaedia, 2003, p. 367Aleksandr Moravov was a painter of genre scenes and life in the Russian countryside. His favourite subjects were old people and children, and he always depicted the latter as radiating with special warmth and tenderness. In this respect, his works can be compared to the paintings of another famous Russian artist Nikolai Bogdanov-Belsky, a friend and a colleague of Moravov. At the watering place, which can be dated to 1910, belongs to one of the most mature and prolific periods of the artist's career. Influenced by his trip to Europe, the artist was interested in working en plein air, painting figures within a landscape, with air and light. He lived and worked with other artists, graduates of the Moscow School of Fine and Plastic Arts, in an art colony in the Udomelsky district of Tver region. Here the artists spent most of their time painting in the open air and they were very interested in the life of local people. 'Moravov and Bogdanov-Belsky loved to talk to people. Wherever they appeared with their boxes of paints, they were immediately surrounded by people, old and young alike. A heartfelt conversation would start' (from the memoirs of Elena Alekseevna Belianitsky-Birulia).This sincerity and kindness spilled over into Moravov's works. At the watering place was painted with great feeling and mastery and it radiates with serenity and quiet happiness. The focus is on the grandfather and his grandson seated on a horse. Calm confidence and wisdom emanate from the old man who holds his grandson with great care. One can feel the child's joyful curiosity, mixed with a hint of fear from sitting so high upon the horse, maybe even for the first time. The boy is excited but relaxed, feeling safe and supported by the large and strong hands of his grandfather. The same tranquillity is present in the horses, quietly drinking the water. The background of the painting does not detract from the main scene because houses nestle in the upper right corner, brightly lit by the red and golden glow of the last rays of the waning sun.At the watering place was exhibited in 1910-1911 at the annual exhibition of the Peredvizhniki Society and was highly praised by contemporary critics. The work was originally in the collection of Antonin Hrabe, the owner of a framing and gilding business in Moscow at the turn of the XIX century. This collection, assembled during 40 years spent in Moscow, was taken to Prague in 1918.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Mikhail Fedorovich Larionov (Russian/French, 1881-1964)Still life with fish and flowers signed in Latin and dated '1909' (upper left)oil on canvas40 x 55.8cm (15 3/4 x 21 15/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceSotheby's, London, 20th Century Russian Paintings, Drawings and Watercolours 1900-1930, 12 April 1972, lot 10 Christie's, London, 19th Century Impressionist Paintings, Drawings and Watercolours, property of The late Mrs J.P. Dewhurst and various properties, 7 December 1979, lot 353 Acquired from the above by His Honour Judge Bruce Griffiths, QCThence by descentExhibitedParis, Galerie Granoff, Larionow, no. 344 (according to label on verso of frame)His Honour Judge Bruce Griffiths, QC, (1924-1999) was chairman of the Art Committee of the Welsh Arts Council, the Welsh Portrait Sculpture Trust and the Contemporary Art Society for Wales.Still life with fish and flowers, dated 1909 by the artist, falls into an important transitional period in Mikhail Larionov's oeuvre in which the artist moved away from the influence of the French Impressionists towards the development of a new language known as Russian Neo-Primitivism. This was a time of a great artistic experiment defined by attempts to reconcile the sensitivity to the influences of European modernism with a profound interest in Russian motifs and painterly traditions. Larionov's continued interest in everyday genres and motifs is notable in his entire body of work. The artist repeatedly addressed the same subject in a variety of stylistic and conceptual approaches. As such, the fish motif, presented in Still life with fish and flowers, has a story arc of its own within the course of Larionov's evolution as an artist. For example, Larionov's early Impressionist-inspired dynamic composition and colour scheme in Fish, 1906, (Centre George Pompidou; published in G. Pospelov, E. Ilukhina, Mikhail Larionov, Moscow, 2005, p. 47) by 1908 would be replaced by a significantly more stable structure and solid palette in Flounder, 1907-1909 (Private collection, Moscow; ibid. p. 51). Although preserving a similar circular composition, Larionov now sets the fish among the other ingredients of a simple peasant meal spread on the kitchen table by a window. Larionov's method changes as he shifts from a rhythmic Monet-like brushstroke towards a flatter expressionist application of paint, from a vibrating palette of blues, greys and pinks to subdued blues, browns and greys. As though having lost interest in colour, light and movement in the painting, Larionov begins to focus primarily on form and space to convey a different symbolic meaning for the object. This approach is taken further in the present lot, Still life with fish and flowers. The two fish are now set against a flat non-specific abstract background which is divided into two contrasting panes. The composition is counter-balanced by the roughly outlined flower vases on each side while the white fish at the centre become the main focal point for the viewer. The surface is painted in rough flat brushstrokes which create three colour sections: the table, the background and the fish, which dominate the space with their contrasting palette and primitive form. This simplification of form and expression of colour allude to the tradition of distortion of the figure of the German Expressionist painters in an attempt to convey the inner beauty and spiritual meaning of the object. Hence, in the present lot, the fish - detached from their physical properties or decorative function - become symbolic of both penury and abundance and the transitory nature of both, while the painting brings to mind the biblical trope of two fish divided by Jesus to feed five thousand people. The idea of ephemerality is also brought to the fore in the artist's treatment of the flowers: the roughly outlined branches at first appear brittle only to display barely distinguishable young buds in red and white to convey the notion of birth and the cycle of life. These elements also refer the viewer to the the traditions of Russian Orthodox icon painting, from which Larionov continuously drew inspiration in search of his own concept of the 'spiritual in art' and which he would describe at length later, in the 1920s, in an essay on Russian icons: There are two artistic principles. The first is to render nature on the basis of acquired knowledge and to involve naturalistic forms in a composition using various methods... The second is to study life as it is with no regard to the influence of the external world, and, based on this dynamically changing and moving form, to depict the essence of the object or scene in the most expressive way... Russian icon painters were inspired by the second principle as they, as painters, were boldly led towards an important abstraction. This abstraction manifested itself in the use of schemas and pre-established formulas related to a predetermined style through which they expressed the abstract and mystical sense of life.... It is through the nuances of colour and the finesse of the graphic forms that the religious and mystical state we experience when contemplating icons manifests itself.... The beauty and finesse of the drawing of these stylised forms and the fascinating abstract harmony of their colouration aspire to render the world of the beyond... It is a kind of spiritual realism.... You really believe that they concern another life. (M. Larionov, Les Icônes, c. 1920s, cited in Mikhail Larionov, Une Avant-Garde Explosive, Lausanne, 1978, pp. 132-133).Натюрморт с цветами и рыбой, датированный 1909 годом, был создан в важный для Михаила Ларионова переходный период, во время которого художник отходит от импрессионистического влияния предыдущих лет и встает на путь создания новаторского языка в искусстве, известного как русский неопримитивизм. Это время больших экспериментов в работах мастера, когда тенденции европейского модернизм&... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
