About the Item

Fauvist inspired, colourful oil on paper mounted onto canvas of a garden by Russian artist Anatoly Zverev. Signed and dated to the bottom right and presented in a gold wood frame. This artwork is a vibrant exploration of color and form, capturing a dynamic landscape with an abstract flair. The composition features a vivid interplay of bold, primary colors—yellows, reds, blues, and greens—interspersed with striking black outlines. The scene appears to depict a lush garden or park, with stylized trees and shrubbery creating a lively, rhythmic pattern. Unique brushwork adds texture and depth, inviting viewers to explore the intricacies within the layers. The use of perspective and fragmented forms infuses the piece with a sense of movement and energy, reminiscent of Fauvist influences. The gold frame enhances the richness of the colors, creating a striking contrast. Overall, this artwork captures the essence of a vibrant natural setting through the lens of imaginative abstraction, making it a compelling visual experience. Anatoly Timofeevich Zverev was a Russian artist, a participant in the nonconformist movement and the founder of Russian expressionism in the 1960s. He was a legend in Moscow art circles during the second half of the 20th century and remains so today. Zverev was born in 1931, died in 1986, but for the short 55 years of his life he left a huge artistic heritage. Zverev had multiple gifts: he was a brilliant painter, a virtuoso draftsman, an avant-garde poet, an ironic theoretician. Pablo Picasso called him "the best Russian draftsman", the playwright Jean Cocteau said "Zverev on his own performed the whole gamete of Western painting - from early Picasso to the present day", the famous French conductor Igor Markevich wrote - "Zverev is a case. The case of a man who, without knowing it, has rediscovered the history of world art. “ Anatoly Zverev did not receive an academic art education. He graduated from a vocational school as a housepainter, a fact which gave him extraordinary freedom in the choice of materials. He himself believed that a real artist could create even without paints. He wrote with charcoal and the juice of herbs, beets, used cereals, cottage cheese and toothpaste, he himself jokingly said - “No paints, give me water from paints!” As a freelance artist of the 19th century, he developed his gift in workshops and studios, in Sokolniki Park and at the Moscow Zoo whiere he would sketch. He was also a regular visitor to the Tretyakov Gallery and the Pushkin Museum. Zverev considered Leonardo da Vinci to be his immediate teacher. Among Zverev's favorite artists were Rembrandt, Velasquez, Von Gogh, Savrasov and Vrubel. Anatoly Zverev was an absolutely free spirit: an artist and a person, formally belonging to the circle of non-conformists - unofficial artists. But in reality, his work does not align with any particular trend or association. He freely traveled through styles and eras, did not borrow but created his own unique artistic world. A world that can still be recognised at a glance.
