Grigorij Musatov (1889 - 1941) BOY WITH A KITE

Originally a Russian painter came to Bohemia with an emigrant wave in 1920. Thanks to the recommendation of his friend Jan Zrzavý, he assimilated on the local art scene and became a member of the Umělecká beseda, with which he regularly exhibited. In the 1930s, his painterly handwriting turned mainly to Impressionism, the painting was loose, as if dreamy, which was also reflected in the themes of idyllic landscapes or figures from lyrical stories. The boy with the kite bears traces of Chagall's color and childhood dreams, which repeatedly appear in the works of Grigory Musatov. On the reverse side, confirmation of authenticity by Eleonora Musatova.
