GRIGORY GUBAREV (St. Petersburg, 1895 - Kiev, Ukraine, 1978). Untitled. Oil on panel. Attached certificate issued by Jon Urgoiti. Measurements: 30 x 20 cm; 43 x 35 cm (frame). This painting is ascribed by period, origin and style to the Russian avant-garde, a period of great innovation and plastic experimentation, especially in the field of geometric abstraction. Within the dominant movements of the region (suprematism, rayonism, futurism...), the present work on panel follows constructivist models. The use of color is bold and vibrant, associated with a form that contains it and gives it dynamism. The Russian avant-garde encompasses a period of artistic innovation that developed approximately between 1890 and 1930. This school includes a variety of movements and styles that together transformed art and visual culture not only in Russia but throughout the world. Russian avant-garde artists sought to break with academic traditions and experiment with new forms, techniques and concepts. Malevich, Tatlin and Rodchenko were among the many stellar figures of the movement. Grigov Gubarev studied with the painters A.A. Vesnin and Andrei Pomarenko and attended the art school of the HYLEA group of futurist-cubist tendencies. He was a member of the futurist group "Luchistj primitives" and participated intensively in the post-revolutionary pictorial changes. His painting ranged from avant-garde to constructivism. He was a professor of color technique at the Leningrad State Art College. Emeritus painter, member of the Association of Soviet Painters, he participated in various Russian and pan-Soviet exhibitions: his post-cubist paintings and his decorations in the various popular Dom Kultur of the countries of the Soviet Union stand out.
