Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff Mythological Scene

Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff Mythological Scene is a refined pastel on paper, dating from circa 1945. The composition depicts a satyr attempting to abduct an Amazon, a classical subject interpreted through dynamic movement, expressive drawing and a vivid use of colour.

The work belongs to the figurative production of Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff, a Russian-born painter active in Italy during the twentieth century. The immediacy of pastel allows the artist to combine chromatic intensity with a lively, almost instinctive treatment of the figures.

Description

A documented pastel by Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff

This mythological scene by Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff is particularly interesting for the historical documentation accompanying it.

A brochure survives from the artist’s solo exhibition held at the Galleria d’Arte in Via Cavour 14, Florence, from 17 to 28 May 1947. The exhibition catalogue lists at number 6 a work entitled La Fuga (“The Escape”), which may possibly correspond to the present composition. The identification, however, should be regarded as probable rather than definitive.

The artist’s presence within the Italian art scene of the post-war period is also documented by contemporary art criticism and specialised publications.

Autograph dedication

The reverse bears an autograph dedication by Michel Carà Ovcinnicoff, dated Rome, 12 May 1955, adding further documentary interest to the history of the work.
