Pictures graphics! Modern graphics. The largest painters, sculptors, graphic artists all over the world Paintings in the graphic style of famous artists
Rate the most expensive work We have been gathering on the paper of artists in the orbit of Russian art for a long time. The best motive for us was a new record for Russian graphics - 2.098 million pounds for a drawing by Kazimir Malevich on June 2
When publishing our ratings, we really like to add all sorts of disclaimers to warn possible questions. So, the first principle: only original graphics. Second: we use the results of open auctions for works by artists included in the orbit of Russian art, according to the website database (perhaps gallery sales were at higher prices). Third: Of course, it would be tempting to put Arshile Gorky's $3.7 million first place on Housatonic. He himself, as is known, strove in every possible way to be considered a Russian artist, without shying away from mystification, he took a pseudonym in honor of Maxim Gorky, etc.; in 2009, Gorka’s works were shown by the Russian Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery at the exhibition “American Artists from the Russian Empire”, we included him in the AI auction results database, but starting the rating of Russian graphics with him is unfair on formal grounds. Fourth: one sheet - one result. For this rating we selected only works consisting of one sheet of paper; a formal approach would have forced us to take into account three more items, each of which was sold as a single lot: 122 original ink drawings for “The Book of the Marquise” by Konstantin Somov, two folders with 58 drawings and gouaches for “The Brothers Karamazov” by F. M. Dostoevsky by Boris Grigoriev and part of the Yakov Peremen collection. Fifth: one author - one work. If we formally took the top 10 by price (excluding Gorka’s results and prefabricated lots), then there would be five sheets of Kandinsky, three of Chagall, and one each of Malevich and Serebryakova. Boring. Sixth: we analyze the period from 2001 to the present day. Seventh: the price rating was compiled in dollars, results in other currencies were converted into dollars at the exchange rate on the day of trading. Eighth: all results are given taking into account the seller's commission.
Kazimir Malevich’s drawing “Head of a Peasant,” which is a preparatory sketch for the lost painting “Peasant Funeral” of 1911, quite expectedly became the top lot of the Russian auction at Sotheby’s on June 2, 2014 in London. Malevich’s works appear on the art market extremely rarely; “Head of a Peasant” is the first work put up for auction since the sale of “Suprematist Composition” for $60 million at Sotheby’s in 2008, and one of the artist’s last significant works in private collections. This sketch was one of 70 works exhibited by the artist in Berlin in 1927, and then left in Germany in order to save them from the ban and artificial oblivion that would inevitably await them in Russia. The work came to Sotheby’s auction from a certain powerful German private collection Russian avant-garde. Almost all the lots in this collection went over their estimate, but Malevich’s drawing was simply beyond competition. They gave it three times the estimate - 2.098 million pounds. This is by far the most expensive graphic work by a Russian artist.
The list of the most expensive graphic works by Wassily Kandinsky includes as many as 18 original drawings worth more than a million dollars. His watercolors are in no way inferior to his paintings in their abstract message. Let us remember that it is from Kandinsky’s graphic work - “The First Abstract Watercolor” of 1910 - that the history of modern abstract art. As legend has it, one day Kandinsky, sitting in the semi-darkness of his studio in Munich and looking at his figurative work, could not discern anything on it except color spots and shapes. And then he realized that he had to abandon objectivity and try to capture the “movements of the soul” through color. The result was work devoid of any connection with outside world- “First abstract watercolor” (Paris, Center Georges Pompidou).
Kandinsky's canvases are rare on the market and are very expensive, but the graphics will fit perfectly into any collection and will look decent in it. You can afford circulation graphics for several thousand dollars. But for original drawing, which, for example, is a sketch for a famous painting, you will have to pay many times more. The most expensive watercolor to date, “Untitled” from 1922, was sold during the 2008 art boom for $2.9 million.
Marc Chagall was an unusually productive artist for his time. Today Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons are helped by an army of assistants, and Mark Zakharovich single-handedly created thousands of original graphic works over the 97 years of his life, not to mention mass-produced works. Our database of Chagall auction results includes more than 2,000 original works on paper. This artist is steadily rising in price, and the investment prospects for purchasing his works are obvious - the main thing is that the authenticity of the work is confirmed by the Chagall Committee. Otherwise, the work could almost be burned (this is exactly what the Chagall Committee threatens the owner, who recently sent a painting to Paris for examination that turned out to be a fake). So the choice should be made only in favor of unconditionally authentic graphics. Its price can reach 2.16 million dollars - this is how much they paid in May 2013 for the drawing “Riders” (paper on cardboard, gouache, pastel, colored pencils).
The pastel “Reclining Nude” is not only the most expensive graphic work of Zinaida Serebryakova, but also her most expensive work in general. Nude theme female body was one of the main ones in the artist’s work. Serebryakova's nudes evolved from images of bathers and Russian beauties in a bathhouse during the Russian period of creativity to reclining nudes more in the spirit of European art V Parisian period. Looking at Serebryakova’s beautiful, sensual, idealized nudes, it is difficult to imagine how tragic the artist’s fate was - her husband died of typhus, leaving her with four children in her arms; I had to live from hand to mouth and, in the end, emigrate to Paris (as it later turned out, forever), leaving the children in Russia (only two were later transported to France, the other two had to be separated for more than 30 years).
Zinaida Serebryakova cultivated perfect, eternal, classical beauty in her works. In some ways, pastel conveys the lightness and airiness of it even better. female images, in which there is almost always something from the artist herself and her children (daughter Katya was one of her favorite models).
A rather large pastel, Reclining Nude, was purchased during the art boom in June 2008 for £1.07 million ($2.11 million). No other work since then has managed to beat this record. Interestingly, in the top 10 auction sales of Zinaida Serebryakova there are only nudes, and three of the works are just pastels.
At the Sotheby’s London auction on November 27, 2012, dedicated to paintings and graphics by Russian artists, the top lot was not a painting, but a pencil drawing on paper - “Portrait of Vsevolod Meyerhold” by Yuri Annenkov. Eight participants argued for the job in the hall and on the phones. As a result, the drawing, estimated at 30–50 thousand pounds, cost the new owner several dozen times more than the estimate. The result of 1.05 million pounds ($1.68 million) overnight made “Portrait of Vsevolod Meyerhold” the author’s most expensive graphic and took third place in the list of the highest auction prices for Annenkov’s works in general.
Why was the interest in the portrait so strong? Annenkov is a brilliant portrait painter who left images of the best figures of the era - poets, writers, directors. In addition, he was very talented in graphics: his style combined the techniques of classical drawing with avant-garde elements of cubism, futurism, expressionism... He succeeded as a theater and film artist, as a book illustrator. The public's attention was certainly attracted by the personality of the model in the portrait - famous director Vsevolod Meyerhold. Well, to top it all off, this drawing comes from the collection of composer Boris Tyomkin, a native of Kremenchug, who emigrated to the USA and became famous American composer, four-time Oscar winner for musical works to the cinema.
One of the main artists of the World of Art association, Lev (Leon) Bakst, of course, should have been on our list of the most commercially successful graphic artists. His sophisticated theatrical works - costume designs for best dancers era, the scenery for productions - give us today an idea of what a luxurious spectacle Diaghilev’s “Russian Seasons” was.
Bakst’s most expensive graphic work, “The Yellow Sultana,” was created in the year when Diaghilev’s ballet first went on tour in the United States. By that time, Bakst was already a widely known artist, recognizable style his theatrical works has become a brand, its influence is felt in fashion, interior design and jewelry. Sensual nude “Yellow Sultana”, which grew from his theatrical sketches, caused a fierce battle between two phones at Christie's auction on May 28, 2012. As a result, they reached the figure of 937,250 pounds ( 1 467 810 dollars) taking into account the commission, despite the fact that the estimate was 350-450 thousand pounds.
The world of noble nests fading into oblivion, foggy manor parks and graceful young ladies walking along the alleys appears in the works of Viktor Elpidiforovich Borisov-Musatov. Some call his style “elegy in painting”; it is characterized by dreaminess, quiet melancholy, and sadness for a bygone era. For Borisov-Musatov noble estates were the world of the present, but there is something otherworldly in his reflections of this world; these parks, verandas and ponds seem to have been dreamed of by the artist. It was as if he had a presentiment that soon this world would no longer exist and he himself would no longer exist (a serious illness took the artist away at the age of 35).
Viktor Borisov-Musatov preferred pastel and watercolor to oil painting; they gave him the necessary lightness of brushwork and haze. The appearance of his pastel “The Last Day” at the Russian auction at Sotheby’s in 2006 was an event, since the main works of Borisov-Musatov are in museums, and only about a dozen works have been offered at open auctions over the years. The pastel “The Last Day” comes from the collection of V. Napravnik, the son of the Russian conductor and composer Eduard Napravnik. This pastel was depicted in the “Portrait of Maria Georgievna Napravnik” by Zinaida Serebryakova, now stored in Chuvash art museum. In the monograph “Borisov-Musatov” (1916), N. N. Wrangel mentions “The Last Day” in the list of the artist’s works. So, as expected, the undoubtedly genuine item reached a record price for the artist of 702,400 pounds, or $1,314,760.
Alexander Deineka was a brilliant graphic artist, initial stages his creative path graphics attracted him even more than painting, primarily because of their propaganda potential. The artist worked a lot as a book and magazine illustrator and created posters. Later, this “magazine-poster work” tired him, he began to work more and more in painting, in monumental art, but the acquired skills of a draftsman turned out to be very useful - for example, when creating preparatory sketches for paintings. “Girl tying a ribbon on her head” - a sketch for the painting “Bather” (1951, collection of the Tretyakov Gallery). This is Deineka’s most expensive work to date. late period creativity, when the artist’s style from the avant-garde searches of the 1920s–30s had already strongly evolved towards socialist realism. But Deineka was also sincere in socialist realism. The power and beauty of a healthy human body is one of Deineka’s favorite themes in his work. "Girl Tying a Ribbon" refers to his nudes, similar to greek goddesses, - Soviet Venuses who find happiness in work and sports. This is a drawing by the textbook Deineka, and therefore it is not surprising that it was sold for a record 27,500,000 rubles ($1,012,450) at the Sovcom auction.
Boris Dmitrievich Grigoriev emigrated from Russia in 1919. He became one of the most famous Russian artists abroad, but at the same time he was forgotten in his homeland for many decades, and his first exhibitions in the USSR took place only in the late 1980s. But today he is one of the most sought-after and highly valued authors on the Russian art market; his works, both paintings and graphics, are sold for hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. The artist was extremely efficient; he believed that he could handle any topic, any order.
Probably the most famous are his cycles “Race” and “Faces of Russia” - very close in spirit and differing only in that the first was created before emigration, and the second already in Paris. In these cycles, we are presented with a gallery of types (“faces”) of the Russian peasantry - old men, women, and children look sullenly at the viewer, they attract the eye and at the same time repel it. Grigoriev was by no means inclined to idealize or embellish those whom he painted; on the contrary, sometimes he brings images to the grotesque. One of the “faces”, executed in gouache and watercolor on paper, became the most expensive graphic work by Boris Grigoriev: in November 2009, at Sotheby’s auction they paid $986,500 for it.
And finally, the tenth author on our list of the most expensive works Russian graphics - Konstantin Somov. The son of the curator of the Hermitage collections and a musician, a love of art and everything beautiful was instilled in him from childhood. After studying at the Academy of Arts under Repin, Somov soon found himself in the World of Art society, which promoted the cult of beauty that was close to him. This desire for decorativeness and “beauty” was especially evident in his numerous drawings based on images gallant era, interest in which was observed in the work of other world artists (Lancer, Benois). “Somov” marquises and gallant gentlemen on secret dates, scenes of social receptions and masquerades with harlequins and ladies in wigs refer us to the aesthetics of Baroque and Rococo.
Prices for Somov’s works on the art market began to grow at a phenomenal and not always understandable pace since 2006; some of his paintings exceeded the estimate by 5 or even 13 times. His paintings cost millions of pounds. As for graphics, here is the most best result Somov so far 620,727 dollars - this is just one of the drawings of the “gallant” series “Masquerade”.
On April 22, 2010, 86 works - paintings and graphics - by almost two dozen authors were sold as a single lot No. 349 at Sotheby's in New York. This sale, by the way, creates confusion in the auction statistics of those artists whose works were included in this lot. Yes, the collection is very valuable in itself, it is long, complex and tragic story, and, on the one hand, it’s good that the collection fell into the same hands. But, on the other hand, if someday the owner decides to sell individual works, then for most authors there is simply no price level. After the deafening “art preparation” that preceded the sale of the collection, it could have appeared, but no, and upon resale it would be a huge minus.
If you think that all great artists are in the past, then you have no idea how wrong you are. In this article you will learn about the most famous and talented artists modernity. And, believe me, their works will remain in your memory no less deeply than the works of maestros from past eras.

“Using filters such as glass, vinyl, water and steam, I distort human body. These filters allow you to create large areas abstract design, with islands of color peeking through - parts of the human body.
My paintings change modern look to the already established, traditional poses and gestures of bathing women. They could tell an attentive viewer a lot about such seemingly self-evident things as the benefits of swimming, dancing, and so on. My characters press themselves against the glass of the shower window, distorting their own bodies, realizing that they thereby influence the notorious male gaze on a naked woman. Thick layers of paint are mixed to imitate glass, steam, water and flesh from afar. However, up close, the amazing physical properties oil paint. By experimenting with layers of paint and color, I find a point where abstract brushstrokes become something else.
When I first started painting the human body, I was immediately fascinated and even obsessed with it and believed that I had to make my paintings as realistic as possible. I “professed” realism until it began to unravel and reveal contradictions in itself. I am now exploring the possibilities and potential of a style of painting where representational painting and abstraction meet – if both styles can coexist at the same moment in time, I will do so.”

Graphics are the most ancient look visual arts. First graphic works are considered cave drawings primitive man, reflecting his view of the world. The papyrus books of the ancient Egyptians contained graphic symbols (hieroglyphs) and illustrations. Since ancient times, beautiful examples of graphics have come down to us in the form of paintings on vases and ceramic vessels.
For a long time, only writing and calligraphy were classified as graphics. In the Middle Ages, it became widespread book graphics: handwritten books were decorated with magnificent drawings and miniatures, and the creation of fonts turned into a separate field of art.
Outstanding graphic artists and their famous works
The greatest master of the Western European Renaissance, Albrecht Durer, is one of the founders of engraving. His most famous works on copper are “Knight, Death and the Devil” (1513), “St. Jerome in his cell" and "Melancholy" (1514).
The great Italian artist and scientist of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, was an inimitable draftsman. His enormous graphic heritage includes: preparatory drawings for paintings, images of animals and plants, illustrations for technical developments, drawings for treatises.
Techniques and types of graphics
The basis of all types of graphic art is drawing. Typically, a graphic image is made on a sheet of paper, which plays the role of space. To create his works, an artist can use a whole arsenal of tools: pencil, ballpoint pen, charcoal, ink, ink, sanguine (red-brown pencils made from kaolin and iron oxides), colored chalk, sauce (a type of pastel), watercolor, gouache.
The main tool of European drawing in the era of late Gothic and Renaissance was the pen. At the end of the 17th century, graphite pencils began to be used to create drawings, drawings, and sketches. Canvas is practically not used in graphics, since watercolor paints and gouache do not fit well on it. Color is used in graphic images much less than in paintings. The main visual means of graphics are line, spot, chiaroscuro, stroke and dot.
Graphics have the same wide variety of genres as painting. But here the genres of portraiture and landscape are more common, and to a lesser extent still life, historical, everyday life and others. Graphics are traditionally divided into monumental (posters, wall graphics), easel (drawings and prints), book graphics (illustrations, postcards), as well as computer graphics, which, however, stands apart because it does not use traditional materials.
The art of graphics is distinguished by a wide variety of techniques that the artist uses in its pure form or in various combinations. According to the graphics technique, there are two types: drawing and printed graphics (printmaking). The drawing is created only in a single copy. In ancient times, artists used papyrus and parchment, and from the 14th century they began to draw on paper.
Printed graphics, on the contrary, exist in many copies. For replication, an engraving is used - a drawing on a solid material, which is covered with paint and then printed on a sheet of paper. Depending on the material there are different different types and engraving techniques: woodcut (woodcut), linocut (drawing carved on linoleum), etching (metal engraving), lithography (stone engraving). With the advent of engraving, the printed book arose and book graphics began to develop. Today, the development of graphics does not stop, new genres and techniques are appearing, but, as in ancient times, graphics remain an important component of fine art in our lives.

In the mid-90s, the French fell in love with his everyday sketches and signed a contract with the artist for 16 years.

The Illusory World of Neil Simon
In the paintings of British artist Neil Simone, nothing is as it seems at first glance. “For me, the world around me is a series of fragile and ever-changing shapes, shadows and boundaries,” says Simon.

Blokhin has his own special technique: first he applies abstract spots to the canvas, and then completes the reality.
