Description
NATALIA GONCHAROVA (1881–1962) Pulling a Cannon [Pushku tyanyut] lithograph on paper 24 × 32.5 cm (image) Executed c. 1912 LITERATURE: V. Polyakov, Books of Russian Cubo-Futurism, Moscow, 1998, p. 128. Pulling a Cannon is a rare early lithograph by Natalia Goncharova, one of the leading figures of the Russian avant-garde in the early 20th century. Between 1906 and 1911, she explored the aesthetics of Neo-Primitivism, drawing inspiration from Russian folk art, particularly lubok prints. Working closely with Mikhail Larionov, the two artists are regarded as the founders of Neo-Primitivism as a movement in Russian art. Deeply drawn to ancient and folk Russian artistic traditions, Goncharova sought to reinvent a national visual language rooted in folk culture. Goncharova herself expressed the ideas of the Primitivist movement: ‘The art of my country is incomparably deeper and more meaningful than anything I know. I am rediscovering the path to the East, and I am certain that many will follow me along this path.’ At the buyer’s request, we shall be happy to provide a general report on the condition of the lot described above.
