LOT NOTES
A graduate of the Academy of Art in Berlin (1924), from 1925 Glushchenko worked in Paris where he immediately attracted the attention of French critics. From the Neue Sachlichkeit style of his Berlin period he changed to Post-Impressionism. Besides numerous French, Italian, Dutch, and later, Ukrainian landscapes, Glushchenko also painted still life, nudes, and portraits such as those of Oleksander Dovzhenko and Volodymyr Vynnychenko, as well as portraits commissioned by the Soviet government of the French writers Henri Barbusse, Romain Rolland, and Victor Margueritte and the painter Paul Signac. At the beginning of the 1930s, Gluschenko belonged to the Association of Independent Ukrainian Artists and helped organize its large exhibition of Ukrainian, French, and Italian paintings at the National Museum in Lviv. In 1936 he moved to the USSR, but was allowed to live in Ukraine only after the war, when his works began to reflect an officially approved socialist realism. In the 1960s, having come into a close contact with new artistic trends, he revitalized his paintings with expressive colors, and assumed a leading position among Ukrainian colorists.

LOT NOTES
In 1896, Mikhail Vatutin, then a student at the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, won the silver medal of the Imperial Art Academy for a genre-painting entitled The Pawnbroker . Quite likely, this prize-winning work is the same as the painting featured in the present lot. The following year, Vatutin began his studies at the Saint Petersburg Academy of Art under the tutelage of Vladimir Makovsky, one of the leading painters of the time and a founding member of The Wanderers group. Vatutin studied with Makovsky for three years before completing the program and returning to Moscow, where he continued to live and work for the remainder of his life. Vatutin exhibited regularly and is represented in private and museum collections, including the Dnepropetrovsk Museum of Art.
