Featured A Soviet Edgar Degas...??? Unsigned but Very Interesting..Please Help..!!!

Sorry but I don't agree...Thanks anyway.

 

Not at all...The Large Painting has got this rough thick type of waxed Canvas...The Dancers is a classic linen canvas...But don't want to open it again before restoration...Thanks for your message.

 

Think I did answer...Yes Debora..This painting was part of a Bulk of "Eastern Europe Art paintings and Objects that I have been able to purchase...The best one went for a quite bigger price....Will show next time 2 other one that I booked ...Not yet paid and home...jck

 

Like it a lot..Very fast Impressionist touch....Mine is more a la maniere de E.Degas...Maybe copied from an original one ..???

 

Thank you for this attachment...Can't read Russian..?? But very similar subject...

 

Ok Understand...You might be right...Now ..?? Any idea Painter or School Name..??

 

It is true..?? A mystery..Or a special technique of Impressionism..??

 

Thanks again for your Help....Does Natasha has an Opinion...???

 

I think the fact that they all wear the same pink ballet shoes (as opposed to white or cream) points to a specific dance academy, rather than a professional company. The dance academy could be attached to a company of course.
At my ballet school, which was a pre-school for the British Royal Academy of Dance, we all had to wear a set colour for every article of clothing, even for the headband. Our shoes were sent over from the RAD supplier in Britain.

 

Thank a lot...This accurate point anecdote might help...I hope..!!

 

Hi again Debora...Here is an object I bought beeing part of the Bulk I was speaking about....Unfortunately cracked...But got it for a very cheap price anyway...For sure it is 100% Soviet provenance....jck

 

This one is pre-Soviet, the Gardner's factory in Moscow.
The marks are consistent with 1850-1860, both the impressed one and the one in black.

Thanks very much...Pity I can't read...Thought this jug was more modern.....

 

Have found a Site in french and English for Gardner Factory....Very interesting....Thought my jug was Art nouveau..?? 1900/1920....But 1850/1860 didn't know...Deserves some repair...But pattern not too much affected...Very decorative object.....Big thanks for reply and information...jck

 

The style is not Art Nouveau, it is more consistent with the date bracket @April07 mentioned. It is lovely.

 

MERCI...!!!

 

On the painting: look up “Soviet Impressionism” - it is a particular style of painting in 60-70es. Frequently “no faces” in them! . Also “russian Impressionism” - different timing - early 20th century, different details. Both of your paintings are “academically” well done, a nice purchase.
also, for bigger paintings artists initially would do a smaller one, frequently without faces, for composition and color purposes, sometimes on paper, board, or old canvas. And it would not be signed. A “study” for the larger painting. Yours might be that as well.
Jug is beautiful, even if cracked!

 

Merci Beaucoup Anak.Thanks for your time and response...Just received from France a message that there was a Woman painter specialist scenes of Ballet Dancers in Bolchoi ....Her name is Tamara Ossipova...Have checked on the web and internet...Don't think it can be a study from this Russian Painter....Hopefully will find out one day....JCK

 

You are welcome. Good luck!
