About the Item

Iwan Albertovich Puni (Russian: Иван Альбертович Пуни; also known as Jean Pougny; April 3, 1890 – December 28, 1956) was a Russian avant-garde artist (Suprematism, Cubo-Futurism) who later became French. His style evolved towards Lyric Primitivism, influenced by Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. After his exhibition at the Salon des Indépendants in 1910 during his first stay in Paris, where he discovered Fauvism and Cubism, Puni returned to Russia and joined the avant-garde group Union of Youth, where he became associated with Mayakovsky and Velimir Khlebnikov. At his Futurist exhibition in March 1915, he presented eleven Cubist-inspired works, along with a relief titled "Card Players," which has since disappeared. This painting, which continues the theme of the lost piece and "The Ace of Clubs", also presented by our gallery, depicts the game of "Whist," a classic English card game. Puni deconstructs the world of cards, fascinated by the shapes and colors of the deck. This is a typical example of Russian avant-garde painting in the Cubo-Futurist style. Oil on cardboard, framed, signed at the bottom right and dated "1915" on the back. Numerous annotations on the back: in Russian, the artist's name, the title "The Ace of Diamonds," the date, an old English label (collection or gallery), and a stamp from the Russian State Archives. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from expert Jean Chauvelin, dated January 18, 2024. Dimensions without the frame : H : 29 cm L : 23 cm With the frame : H : 36 cm W : 30 cm D : 2 cm _______________________________ Iwan Albertovich Puni (russe : Иван Альбертович Пуни ; également connu sous le nom de Jean Pougny ; 3 avril 1890 – 28 décembre 1956) était un artiste russe avant-gardiste (Suprématisme, Cubo-Futurisme) devenu français, dont le style a évolué vers le Primitivisme lyrique dans la direction de Pierre Bonnard et Édouard Vuillard. Après son exposition au Salon des Indépendants (1910) lors de son premier séjour à Paris, où il découvre le fauvisme et le cubisme, Puni retourne en Russie et rejoint le groupe avant-gardiste de l'Union de la Jeunesse, où il se lie avec Mayakovski et Velimir Khlebnikov. Lors de son exposition futuriste en mars 1915, il présente onze de ses œuvres d'inspiration cubiste, ainsi qu'un relief « Joueurs de cartes », disparu depuis. Cette peinture, qui poursuit le thème de l'œuvre perdue et de « l’As de Trèfle », également présentée par notre galerie, représente le jeu de « Whist », un jeu de cartes classique anglais. Puni décompose l'univers des cartes, fasciné par les formes et les couleurs du jeu. Peinture typique de l’ avant-garde russe dans le style cubo-futuriste. Huile sur carton encadrée, signée en bas à droite et datée « 1915 » au dos Nombreuse annotations au dos : en russe le nom du peintre, le titre «L’As de Carreau » , la date , une étiquette ancienne en anglais (collection où galerie), un cachet des Archives de l’état russe Accompagnée d'un certificat d'authenticité par l’expert Jean CHAUVELIN en date de 18 /01/2024 Dimensions sans cadre : H : 29 cm L : 23 cm Avec le cadre : H : 36 cm L : 30 cm P : 2 cm
