Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov, a founder of the 'Jack of Diamonds' group, a groundbreaking organization of Russian artists, was a master of avant-garde Russian art. In his Still Life with Plant and Fruit one can see his mastery of the palette with thick paint and vivid color; this work is the essence of Mashkov. Never before offered at auction and from a private collection, this picture is emblematic of his work. Mashkov studied under Konstantin Korovin and Valentin Serov but quickly developed his own style and manner with remarkable results. He traveled the world and brought his talent back to Russia to teach others in Moscow.

Still Life with Plant and Fruit has been examined by University College, London experts and has undergone a battery of testing including ultraviolet, infrared and chemical analysis to determine the structure and technique of the painting. The work, including the signature, has been found to be authentic in every manner. Copies of this report will be made available upon request. The painting also has a letter of authenticity from noted art expert Jean Chauvelin.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:65011
