EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting depicts the set design for a theatrical production of Vladimir Mayakovsky's play "The Bath," designed by the renowned Russian artist Tatiana Selvinskaya in 1960. The scene is set against a backdrop of horizontal, colorful brushstrokes that exude a sense of energy and vibrancy. At the center of the composition, a group of men and women are gathered around a large, ornate bathtub, their faces expressing various emotions of anticipation, relaxation, and amusement. A ladder and stairs lead up to a raised platform, where a table is situated, adding an element of height and depth to the composition. Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930), a prominent figure in Russian literature and the arts, penned "The Bath" as a satirical commentary on the bourgeoisie and their frivolous pursuits. This painting, as a visual representation of the play's set design, captures the essence of Mayakovsky's wit and social critique. Selvinskaya's masterful use of color and composition elevates the scene, making it a standalone work of art that transcends the boundaries of the stage. The painting's European influence is evident in its classical, theatrical style, with its focus on the human form and the use of dramatic lighting. The cultural significance of this work lies in its connection to the rich history of Russian literature and theatre, making it a must-have for any collection focused on modern European art and literature.
