Songs of Angels collection, "Heavenly Heralds" by artist An Oleg Vladimirovich. First issue in a numbered series. Bradford exchange, 1995. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested Retail $50.00.
Although only November the snow is quite deep. The plows in the streets below are working wearily at the endless task of keeping clear the little thoroughfare that is Palekh's main street.
But upstairs in a cozy little studio, in a gaily painted home adorned with intricately carved lattice, artist An Oleg Viadimirovich works steadily at something he has never done before. He has abandoned the traditional black lacquer on which he has painted for over 20 years—the same black lacquer his forefathers have painted for nearly a century. Instead he has chosen to paint on white.
Although the three angels with comets raised in song are only now beginning to take shape, he is very excited. The glorious colors he painstakingly mixes by hand with egg yolk to achieve their brilliance have never looked so wonderful. His white lacquer painting is turning into a wonderful success. Maybe the greatest in his career.
That evening he telephoned his good friend and art dealer Sergei in Moscow, almost 450 kilometers to the south. "Sergei, when I see you next week, I'll have something very special indeed..."
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
