Lot 146
80 000100 000
oil on board 50 x 35 cm executed circa 1950s LITERATURE: V.P.Sysoev, Aleksander Deineka, M.: Art Rodnik, 2010, ill. p.83 Created after the Great Patriotic War, Kolkhoznitsa embodies Alexander Deineka’s return to the themes of health, labour, and the heroic vitality of Soviet life. A leading figure of Socialist Realism, Deineka here presents the archetype of the positive hero of the era. Depicted with sculptural clarity, sunlit, wind-burnished cheeks and a bold posture, the subject conveys both physical strength and inner calm. This portrait of a collective farmer radiates moral integrity and robust health — hallmarks of Deineka’s mature style. In Kolkhoznitsa, the artist creates a typical image that encapsulates the ‘spirit of the era’, and the enduring optimism of the post-war years. ⊕ This lot is under temporary importation and is subject to import tax (5.5%) (EU) and administrative customs broker fees.
