Two Circus related works, each signed lower right "Basil Polevoy 91", the first: Clown and Fanciful beast, mixed media on paper, sight 16 x 19-1/2 in.; wood frame, 24-1/2 x 27-1/2 in.; the second: Three performers, mixed media on paper, sight 17-1/2 x 22 in.; gilt wood frame, 27-1/2 x 33 in.
Provenance: Estate of Sara Graham Peacock
Note: Polevoy and his family emigrated to the United States in 1990 having found themselves in a Soviet Union that was not supportive of their artistic output. Basil and his wife Anna worked on large scale mural projects but they came into displeasure when they departed from officially sanctioned styles and subjects. They were dismissed from the Artists Union and were therefore unable to find artistic work.
Condition
both with good clean surface, bright colors, not examined out of archival framing; frames with light wear
