About the Item
Alexandre Jacovleff (1887–1938), born in Saint Petersburg and later naturalized as French, was a prominent Russian painter. The son of a naval officer, he studied at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg under Dmitri Kardovsky and formed a friendship with Vassili Choukhaiev. Active in the Mir Iskousstva movement, he left Russia in 1917 to travel through Asia, including China and Japan.
Settling in Paris in 1920, Jacovleff gained recognition through exhibitions and publications, including Drawings & Paintings of the Far East. In 1924, he became the official painter of the Black Cruise, traveling across Africa and creating 300 drawings. He later designed sets for the ballet Semiramis at the Paris Opera and directed the drawing school at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
This painting is one of the portraits Alexandre Jacovleff created during his journey with the Black Cruise. It depicts a Congolese man.

Blue (Sepia Toned Figurative Oil Painting of Boys on Bikes with Blue Ball)
By Carl Grauer
Located in Hudson, NY
Blue (Sepia Toned Figurative Oil Painting of Boys on Bikes with Blue Ball)
Contemporary figurative painting based on a 1960's photograph, plays deeply on feelings of nostalgia and identity.
oil on wood panel
20 x 20 x 2 inches
Carl Grauer’s 'Blue' plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past through the renderings of the family unit. Inspired by images on found slides or old family photos, Grauer provokes mixed responses of delight and sadness, reminding us that unlike space, time cannot be returned. Grauer paints 'Blue' in black and white, sepia tones, and blue oil paint on wood to capture the nostalgia of a vintage 1950's photograph. Two young children ride bicycles in a charming landscape while one child holds a big blue ball. The blue ball beautifully contrasts with the sepia toned landscape. The brushstrokes are smooth, with little texture built upon the surface.
About the work:
Recollections, a series that plays with the tension between memories, the “return to home”, and the actual experienced past, is an idea that I explore through the renderings of the family unit. Nostalgia comes from the Greek word nostos, meaning “to return to home” and algos, meaning “pain”. Before the rise of pathological anatomy and bacteriology made it less credible, medically; nostalgia was considered a “disorder of the imagination. Through time, nostalgia’s meaning became a more generalized reaction to the sad fact that, unlike space, time cannot be returned. I initially began with source imagery of found slides and photos of people I find at flea markets, second hand stores or from my own family’s collection. I take the source imagery and change elements to signify specific moments that could be seen as memories that are remembered or forgotten. I aim to represent nostalgic scenes that may relay a tension, sorrow or humor that could be constructed memories or actual experienced events. The exact narrative may be forgotten or unknown, but the complex projection of an idealized story that I find intriguing may serve to reflect a feeling or memory for another person.
