Zhostovo painting is one of the most recognizable products of Russian folk craft. Due to the economic characteristics of the area, small workshops were almost always engaged in woodwork. Zhostovo painting is an exception. Only metal trays are signed. Usually tin.
Zhostovo trays
Zhostovo trays are produced today in many regions of Russia. But initially, they were produced only in one place - the village of Zhostovo, Moscow region. The basic techniques, unchanged to this day, were formed there.
Production technology - application of multi-colored oil paints in several layers. For finishing can be used:
- Metal powders.
- Gold (leaf).
- Potal.
- Mother of Pearl
The resulting drawing is varnished. The Zhostovo painting of trays initially did not have a strict plot. Under the strong influence of the Tagil school of painting in the 18th century, the main motive was formed.
The basis of the composition is a bouquet located in the center, which is depicted in three dimensions. The bouquet consists of cultivated (garden) flowers interspersed with wild (field) flowers. The colors are dominated by red, blue, green and silver. The background is almost always black. In special editions - green or orange. In Soviet times, the Zhostovo tray as a type of art was severely persecuted by the communists. The artists were blamed for their lack of ideology. Art miraculously survived. Thanks to this, we can today enjoy unique works from the best masters.
