Provenance:
Enrico Moll, grandfather of the present Private Collector, British Columbia
Notes:
Fillip Malyavin was born in 1869 in Kazanka, a small rural town in the Volga region of Russia. Following training as an icon painter, in 1892 Malyavin was invited to study under Ilya Repin at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. Malyavin was prolific in his early career, producing large, bold canvases depicting Russian peasants and rural life. These colourful, impressionistic portraits would become the artist's signature style. Upon graduation from the Academy, Malyavin's official debut work, Laughter (1899), was awarded a gold medal at the International Exhibition in Paris and Whirlwind (1905) earned him a professorship at the Imperial Academy. In 1920, he visited the Kremlin and sketched Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky and Anatoly Lunacharsky. Malyavin emigrated to France in 1922, and exhibited extensively throughout Europe, including shows in Paris, Berlin, Milan, Nice, Stockholm and London.
In 1929, Malyavin exhibited at the Galleria Bardi in Milan, where he became acquainted with Enrico Moll. Moll, a prominent Milanese textile merchant and grandfather of the consignor, purchased a number of works by Malyavin. Included in this listing is a portrait of Moll, executed by Malyavin during his time in Milan in 1929.
The address inscribed on the verso of Winter Scene was Moll's address in Rapallo, near Genoa in the Ligurian Riviera, where Moll resided for the later part of his life.
Please note: the sketch of Enrico Moll is not included with the sale of this lot.
