Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov

Ilya Ivanovich Mashkov (Russian: Илья Иванович Машков) was a Russian artist, renowned for his vivid and sensory-rich paintings, embodying the essence of Russian Neo-Primitivism. His journey began in the village of Mikhailovskaya, propelling from a humble background to becoming one of the most significant figures in the "Jack of Diamonds" group. His works are celebrated for their tangible, almost tactile quality, drawing viewers into a vivid world where colors pop and forms pulse with life​​.

Mashkov's notable participation in significant exhibitions across Europe and the United States, including the Salon d'Automne and the Venice Biennale, helped cement his status in the art world. One of his masterpieces, "Still Life with Fruit," fetched a record $7.3 million at a Christie's auction in 2013, underlining his critical and commercial acclaim. This painting, a prime example of Russian Neo-Primitivism, was unveiled at the inaugural Jack of Diamonds exhibition, highlighting Mashkov's pioneering role in Russian Avant-Garde​​.

Mashkov's contributions extended beyond his canvas; he was a dedicated educator, establishing his art school and later teaching at VKhUTEMAS. His influence is palpable in the collections of major museums, including the Russian Museum, which houses a diverse array of his works from vibrant still lifes to expressive portraits​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Mashkov's legacy offers a captivating glimpse into the evolution of Russian modernism. His works, characterized by their bold coloration and dynamic composition, continue to inspire and attract admiration worldwide.
