Oil on canvas, 67.5 x 95 cm (unframed), 82 x 109 cm (framed). This impressive painting from the Russian school, painted around 1880, presents several variants of the work Aivazovsky produced in 1875 (sold by Christie's in 2008). The scene takes place in Feodosia, southern Crimea, by the light of a full moon. Traces of an illegible signature can be seen at the bottom left. Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, born on 17 July 1817 in Feodosia, was noted from an early age for his talents in languages, music and drawing. At the age of 16 he was admitted to the Russian Academy of Arts in St Petersburg, specialising in seascape painting, a passion that arose after taking part in training with the Russian naval fleet. In 1839 he won his first gold medal, and although he had the opportunity to study in Rome, he preferred to return to Feodosia to perfect his technique. Later, in Rome, his work The Bay of Naples in the Moonlight was praised by J.M.W. Turner. Aivazovsky travelled around Europe, taking part in exhibitions such as the Paris Salon, where he received another gold medal and the Legion of Honour in 1857. Provenance: French private collection.

Golovin moved to St. Petersburg in 1901, where he worked prominently as a stage designer until the Russian Revolution of 1917. He was the leading designer for the theaters in St. Petersburg at this time, and an important contributor to the legendary Ballets Russes, which commissioned the most esteemed choreographers, dancers, musicians and stage designers of the era, including Natalia Gontcharova, Mikhail Larionov, Marc Chagall, George Braques, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso.

He was influenced by cubism and futurism and created his own language of geometric forms. These lithographs were based on sketches of dancers which Bomberg had executed in 1914. After attending a Ballet Russes performance of La Boutique fantasque in 1919, he felt a connection between the original drawings and the André Derain set designs for the ballet and took this as inspiration to develop the set of lithographs.The proposed edition was 100 although it is uncertain how many were actually printed and only a few copies were bound.

Marc Chagall (Russian/French, 1887-1985). Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Published by the French government. Signed and dated 1962 lithograph poster depicting his work "La Baie des Anges" printed for tourism purposes for advertising Nice and Cote d’Azur.Literature: Mourlot 350.Lot Essay:Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opera.Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern Europe and Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1923.He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk." "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is."Sight; height: 39 in x width: 24 in.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist known for his pioneering role in the development of abstract art. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky initially pursued a career in law and economics before turning to art later in life.Kandinsky's early works were influenced by Russian folk art and the Symbolist movement, but he later developed his own distinctive style characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and dynamic compositions. He believed in the power of art to express inner emotions and spiritual truths, and he sought to create paintings that resonated on a deeper, more emotional level.One of Kandinsky's most famous works is "Composition VII" (1913), which exemplifies his mature abstract style. The painting features a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and vibrant colors, evoking a sense of movement, rhythm, and harmony. Kandinsky saw his abstract paintings as a form of visual music, with color and form serving as equivalents to musical elements such as melody and rhythm.In addition to his work as a painter, Kandinsky was also a prolific writer and art theorist. He wrote extensively on the spiritual and philosophical aspects of art, and he played a key role in the development of abstract art theory.Kandinsky's work had a profound influence on the development of modern art, inspiring subsequent generations of abstract artists and helping to establish abstraction as a legitimate artistic style. His bold experimentation with color and form continues to be admired for its innovation and originality, and his legacy as one of the great pioneers of abstract art endures to this day.Measures 38.0 x 53.5.

Thence by descent to his children, Monaco; German art marketPublished: Kashi, Ceramiche islamiche dal IX al XVI secolo, Marcello Giampiccolo, 1996, p. 114Footnotes: Luigi Anton Laura (June 21, 1922 - August 3, 2007) was one of the most outstanding fine and decorative art dealers of post-war Italy. Born in San Remo to a family who could trace their lineage back to 1260, he was trained in the fine arts in Genoa, Florence and Turin, with a small interruption due to war service on the Russian Front. He was an expert connoisseur in fields as diverse as the early civilisations of Asia, the Middle East and Europe, 17th and 18th-century English and European furniture, decorative works, early Venetian painting, armour, graphic arts, textiles and much more. He opened his first shop in 1946 and his dealership sustained him, but, with his art historian wife Renate (Nera), he indulged his true passion for collecting. He travelled the world to learn about ancient cultures and to buy rare objects to add to his stock and collection. He travelled with Nera and his nieces across Asia and the Far East by Land Rover or camper van and he was a frequent visitor to London and other European cities, amassing an astonishing collection of some 6,000 diverse treasures. This collection was donated to the Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano (FAI), an organisation based on the model of the British National Trust, and is now housed in his old residence in San Remo. Laura possessed, he said, a genuine mania for owning, as well as making it possible for others to own, objects of rare interest and beauty. Almost up to the time of his death he carried on dealing with energy and enthusiasm, regarding his clients as his scholars; encouraging them to learn about the diverse objects he introduced into their homes.Condition Report: This dish is repaired and restored from multiple breaks.
