Youri (Georges) ANNENKOV (1889-1974) Self-portrait Set of four pencils and ink created for the cartoon "Elegy", c 1930. Inks on tracing paper, one monogrammed, annotations. 20.5 x 26; 23.5 x 30.5; 24.5 x 29.5 cm; 23 x 29 cm; 2 framed At the end of the '50s and beginning of the '60s, art lovers and museums discovered the Russian avant-garde of the early twentieth century, and invited émigré painters to take part in retrospective exhibitions. Annenkov was invited to the exhibition "50 ans de collage du cubisme à nos jours" at the Musée de Beaux-Arts de Saint-Etienne in 1964. Interest in the avant-garde spread to galleries, which were more interested in presenting works from the period than recent compositions. Emigrant painters who had not been able to take any of their works with them before leaving Russia were creating new works in the spirit of those works. Such was the case with Annenkov, who, caught up in the game, produced a series of collages in the 1960s, dating them from 1917 to 1923. Annenkov's collages were exhibited in several galleries: Fleiss, Pinés, Chauvelin. For these collages, Annenkov used old elements - Tsarist coins, photographs and newspapers from the period, engravings, scraps of fabric, iron and string. There are some thirty of these works, inspired by the Futurism of the 1920s, and they form a perfectly coherent whole in Annenkov's oeuvre. The Thyssen Bornemisza Foundation, the Centre Pompidou and New York's MoMa have one of these collages in their collections. In the 1930s, Yuri Annenkov created an astonishing cartoon entitled "Elegy" (unpublished), one of whose sequences showed the deformations of his face, annoyed by a muse twirling above him. The self-portraits and muses presented here are part of these sequences. Provenance: Annenkov archives.
