Konstantin Somov
Young Man Reclining (Boris Snezhkovsky)

1931

About the Item

Konstantin Andreevich Somov (Russian 1869-1939), Young Man Reclining (Boris Snezhkovsky), 1931, Sanguine and pastel on paper, signed and dated (twice) (lower right), 32cm x 48cm, (46cm x 59cm framed). The frame is a hand-finished lacquered framed, with museum quality UV glass. Eventually emigrating to Paris after the Russian Revolution, Somov was a founding member of Mir iskusstva (World of Art), a Russian artistic movement and magazine, edited by Sergei Diaghilev. In his private life, he had a longtime, younger male companion, Methodiy Lukyanov (who died in 1932), and an ambiguous artistic and personal relationship with a young boxer, Boris Snezhkovsky, whom he painted many times in 1930s; see for example The Boxer, 1933. Snezhkovsky initially modeled for Somov's illustrations for Daphnis and Chloe by Longus (Éditions du Trianon, Paris, 1931). This is a preparatory study for these illustrations.

His interest in the male nude and portraits of...

L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman, 1928, oval pastel
By Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola
Located in Paris, FR
Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman Pastel on paper 38 x 28 cm (oval) Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please) This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature. This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis...
