Ему, привыкшему к кропотливому труду станковиста, было весело придумывать декоративный образ спектакля... Художественный образ пименовских декораций был синтезом наших совместных исканий и всегда обогащал режиссерский замысел». - актриса и режиссер М.О. Кнебель о Юрии Пименове Юрий Пименов - художник из среды Общества станковистов, увлекшись театром, много и охотно работал на поприще художника-постановщика, проявив себя в сценической работе как живописец и станковист, наглядно иллюстрируя важную для театрально-декорационного искусства 1930-х годов тенденцию – мощный приток художников-станковистов, монументалистов, архитекторов, графиков в театре. Эскиз декораций "Гостиная Маргариты" к неосуществленной постановке "Дамы с камелиями" 1946 года в Театре Красной армии, даёт представление о выразительности театральных решений художника, его таланте сценографа. Позднее, в 1947 г. за оформление спектакля "За тех, кто в море!" Б.А. Лавренёва, художник был удостоин Сталинская премия второй степени.

PIMENOV, YURY (1903-1977) - Wet Posters
Est: £150,000 - £200,000
PIMENOV, YURY Wet Posters, signed with initials and dated 1973. Oil on canvas, 70 by 55 cm. Provenance: Private collection, Europe. Authenticity certificate from the expert T. Zeliukina. Authenticity certificate from the expert T. Levina. Related literature: For a poster design, see Yu. Pimenov, Tainstvennyi mir zrelishch, Moscow, Sovetskii khudozhnik, 1974, Liubov k trem apelsinam, illustrated. For similar work and a poster design, see Yury Ivanovich Pimenov, Moscow, Sovetskii khudozhnik, 1986, No. 123, illustrated; p. 194, No. 446, listed; No. 114, illustrated. Yury Pimenov, one of the leading artists in the legendary Society of Easel Painters (OST) in the 1920s and later - of the "thaw" generation in the 1950-1960s, worked a lot as a set designer for the theatre and cinema. For 50 years, he designed many productions in the most diverse genres - drama, ballet and opera - at various theatres in Moscow, Leningrad and London. When creating a unified image for a play or film, besides handling the stage layout and creating costume sketches, Yury Pimenov focused particularly on the poster as the defining exponent of this multiple system of "spectacle art". A poster, in his view, extended its purpose significantly, having as its main purpose not only sudden attraction of a viewer's attention, but also preservation of the heartfelt feeling of empathy or elation gained from what has been seen in a film or stage performance or at an art exhibition in a museum. It was this "mysterious world of spectacles" that caused a whole eponymous series of paintings to appear in Yury Pimenov's work in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The presented for auction painting Wet Posters belongs to this series (there were three versions of the canvas). Being an artist of the "ordinary, real-life occurrences of every day", in Wet Posters Yury Pimenov switched to an updated form of impressionism, acknowledging that his main creative principle was "the wonderful moment, the delicate and artistic image of an impression". We are grateful to the art historians Tatiana Zeliukina and Liubov Lapteva for providing additional catalogue information. Yury Pimenov's lyrical canvas Wet Posters is one of the artist's most recognisable and popular images. It is impossible to determine the genre to which it belongs - urban sketch, decorative fantasy or landscape: everything blends seamlessly together in this wonderful, delicately coloured canvas. We have a city scene. Warm summer rain is pouring down, blurring the clarity of the outlines. The city folk are going about their business, hurrying past a building plastered with posters. In the foreground is a graceful, girlish profile beneath a black, rain-dampened umbrella. At one and the same time, this alludes to the artist's earlier compositions of the 1950s and 1960s ( Heavy Rain, 1957; Downpour, 1963 and Pensive Girl 1965), pays homage to Renoir's The Umbrellas (1881-1886) and acknowledges the lyrical mood of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, an extremely popular film in the late 1960s that drew on the legendary music of Michel Legrand. Such Moscow scenes provided the basic inspiration for Pimenov's best works from the second half of the 1950s to the early 1970s. The everyday life of the capital and the vibrant signs of the times, viewed seemingly by chance and in passing, emerge from the features of the city, its squares and main thoroughfares, and from the poster pillars with their announcements marking the major events of the moment. Even if the work had not been dated, it would be quite easy to identify the time at which it was painted. The artist embarks on a kind of game with the viewer, making real posters about Moscow's cultural life in the early 1970s integral subjects of the canvas. These posters - abo

PROVENANCE INFORMATION 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. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
