ALEXANDER OSMERKIN (RUSSIAN 1892-1953)Still Life with a Beer Bottle, 1946oil on canvas65 x 80 cm (25 6/8 x 31 1/2 in.)signed, dated and titled in Cyrillic on verso [initials and date altered in 1975 upon emigration of family from the USSR]PROVENANCEProperty of the Family of Alexander Osmerkin, to the present day.EXPERTISEThe nephew of the artist, son of Rostislav Osmerkin (brother of Alexander Osmerkin), has provided a notarized letter of provenance and identity to be sold with this painting, a copy of which is available upon request. LOT NOTESAleksandr Osmerkin was an avant-garde Soviet artist, best known as one of the members of "The Jack of Diamonds" group along Pyotr Konchalovsky, Mikhail Larionov, and Ilya Mashkov. Born in 1892 in present-day Ukraine, Osmerkin first entered the St. Petersburg Art School at the Society of Encouraging Artists at the age of 18 (where one of his classmates was Nicholas Roerich) and then the Kiev Art School, until traveling to Moscow in 1913 to study under Mashkov. The following year, Osmerkin began exhibiting with "The Jack of Diamonds" and made the acquaintances of Osip Mandelstam, Anna Akhmatova, and Sergei Esenin, among others. In 1918-1947 Osmerkin was active mainly as a professor at various art institutions in St. Petersburg and Moscow (such as VKhUTEMAS and the Imperial Academy of Arts), until forced to resign from his position under accusations of formalism.Osmerkin often referred to Paul Cezanne as a major influence on his work, in addition to the Fauvists and Cubists. Still Life with a Beer Bottle exhibits these influences of Western modern art, but with Osmerkin's own expressive style, bravura brushwork, and Russian character. The table, featuring a vase of blooming roses, is set luxuriously with lobsters, sausages, cheese, a bottle of beer - foodstuffs not easily available to Osmerkin or the general public in 1946 Soviet Russia. In light of Osmerkin`s personal life - who lived through the Revolution, both World Wars, and was devastated by the execution of his friend Osip Mandelstam - this vibrant, textured painting may be seen as a response to the harsh realities of life.
HALINA, ZORYA (UKRAINIAN 1915-2002)Ukrainian Still Life with Cock, 1960oil on canvas115 x 104 cm (45 1/4 x 41 in.) signed, dated and titled on versoPROVENANCEJurii Maniichuk and Rose Brady CollectionEXHIBITEDNew York, Ukrainian Institute of America, Ukrainian Socialist Realism: The Jurii Maniichuk and Rose Brady Collection, September 14-October 7, 2012.LITERATUREJurii Maniichuk, Realism and Socialist Realism in Ukrainian Painting of the Soviet Era (Kiev: LK Maker, 1998), p. 151 (illustrated) LOT NOTESHalina Grigoryevna Zorya was a Ukrainian still-life painter primarily active in Kiev. A graduate of the Kiev Art Institute (1946), where she studied with influential monumentalist painter Mikhailo Boychuk among others, she is known particularly for her verdant, sensuous flower bouquets.In Ukrainian Still Life With Cock, Zorya presents the viewer with an exquisitely patterned nature morte with blooming pink and red flowers, blue Matisse-esque wallpaper, an ornamental Khokhloma polychrome chair, decorative vessel flutes modeled as roosters, traditional linen red-embroidered tablecloth, and gzhel-like vase. Zorya deftly manipulates the many forms and textures of the setting, modulating her paint opacity from thin washes in the background to the robust impasto on the ceramic flutes. The academic execution of the still life is complemented well by the impressive compilation of folk arts.The following lots come from the collection of the Ukrainian-born American lawyer Jurii Maniichuk (1955-2009), who amassed nearly 150 large-scale pieces of Ukrainian Socialist Realism of the 1950s-1980s. Maniichuk acquired these paintings (primarily from working artists or their heirs) while working in Kiev as a legal consultant for the World Bank in the 1990s, and brought them to the U.S. in 1999. With UkraineÕs newfound independence from the USSR in 1991, Socialist Realism fell out of favor with most collectors and curators. Recognizing their historical value and aesthetic appeal, Maniichuk made it his preeminent goal was to preserve the paintings for future study and appreciation. As part of that effort, his widow, Rose Brady, now the collectionÕs owner, lent nearly half of the collection long-term to the Ukrainian Institute of America in New York (2012-2018). Select works have also been featured at the Brooklyn Museum (Russian Modern, 2011-2016), at East West Fine Art (formerly known as Gallery on Fifth) in Naples, Florida (We the People. Everyday Life in Post-Soviet Union and modern-day Southwest Florida, November 29-December 20, 2014; Rescued from the Flames, Soviet Era Social Realist Paintings from the Collection of Jurii Maniichuk and Rose Brady, December 2013-January 2014), and at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida (Ukraine: The Maniichuk-Brady Collection of Socialist Realist Art, August 27-December 4, 2015).This lot is being sold without reserve.
