[“The artist turned to images of Harlequin and Pierrot, classical figures of the Italian comedy who personify playfulness and theatricality, in different periods of his life. At the end of 1920s, working a lot on set designs for the Metropolitan Opera, Sudeikin was in search of pictorial and plastic solutions, consonant with tendencies in contemporary art. The images created by the artist clearly contain the idea of theatricalisation of life and inclination for transformation of everyday life. The ambivalent nature of Sudeikin’s oeuvre, expressed in the play between the
|
conditionaland the concrete, reality and mystification, was further developed in the works of 1920’s. The decorativeness of the artistic solution reveals an emotional implication, pointing out the secret essence of these popular theatrical characters”.]In original Italian (Neapolitan) XIX century hand carved parcel guilt and painted frame with gesso flowers. This drawing constitutes an initial variant of a larger 1927 oil painting sold on Sotheby’s, London, 7-Oct-1998, lot 187, and goes along with a well established Russian artists tradition (Iacovleff, Shukhaev et al.) of imaging themselves as personages of Commedia-del-Arte
