EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed composer Cesar Antonovich Cui, captured in 1900 by Repin. The portrait exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication, as Cui's intense gaze meets the viewer's eyes. With his neatly trimmed beard and refined attire, he emanates an air of authority befitting a musical genius. Cui was a prominent figure within the Russian music scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As one of "The Five" or "The Mighty Handful" he played a crucial role in shaping Russian classical music alongside fellow composers such as Balakirev. This lithographic masterpiece serves as a testament to his significant contributions to both opera and ballet compositions. The composition school that Cui belonged to sought to break away from traditional Western influences, embracing instead distinctly Russian elements in their works. Through this innovative approach, they established what is now known as the New Russian School. Repin's skillful execution brings out every intricate detail of this male portrait, highlighting not only Cui's physical features but also capturing his artistic essence. This private collection piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the world of one of Russia's most celebrated composers. As we admire this fine art image today, we are reminded of Cesar Antonovich Cui's lasting impact on classical music history and his unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries within the realm of composition.
