Mugasto, Hando (1907 – 1937). Chapel of the monastery Petseri. (1937)
€1400
Hando Mugasto’s “Chapel of the Monastery Petseri” (1937) is a stunning color engraving on wood and paper, showcasing one of the most expressive works of the Estonian artist. The piece emphasizes paint, with a resonant chord of black, red, and white creating a clear decorative effect. This enchanting artwork illustrates a vivid contrast between bright red roofs, dark wooden structures, and black silhouettes of monks against the chapel’s sparkling white surfaces. As one of the pioneers of Estonian wood graphics and an awarded artist, Mugasto’s composition in this piece reveals a powerful vertical rhythm, generalization, and laconism that captivates the eye. This artwork was reproduced in the book by I. Solomykova “Hando Mugasto” and reflects his evolution from cubism and impressionism to recognition for xylographs, book-plates, posters, and still life’s. The size of this remarkable piece is 24,6×18,5.
