Today, the dolls are made of other materials, such as porcelain, plaster and brightly colored clays. red clay takes on a deep burnt orange color that is vibrant and certainly eye-catching. The same work was also attacked in 1913 by a mentally ill man who slashed it with a knife three times. The Faceless Doll is a unique handicraft from the Dominican Republic. This is not the first time a painting has been vandalised in Russia: in 2019 a man was sentenced to two and half years in prison after attacking a painting of Ivan the Terrible in the Tretyakov, tearing it with a pole from the barrier protecting the work. On his first day on the job, the security guard had drawn two pairs of eyes with a ballpoint pen onto artist Anna Leporskayas Three Figures painting during an abstract art exhibition at the.
The Yeltsin Center has since installed protective screens over the remaining works in the exhibition. A painting worth £740,000 has been destroyed after a bored security guard drew eyes on faceless figures depicted in the artwork at a Russian gallery. It seems that images which do not have complete features, which do not have a nose or eyes, are not included.
The suspect faces a fine and up to three months in prison. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5607) and Muslim (2108). Russian media reported that the ministry of culture later complained to the prosecutor general’s office about the lack of action, and last week police announced that they had opened an investigation. The Yeltsin Center reported the damage to police on 20 December, but Ekaterinburg’s ministry of internal affairs initially declined to press charges as the damage was deemed “ insignificant”. Restoration experts at the Tretyakov have estimated that the restoration work would cost 250,000 roubles (A$4,600). The painting was removed from the exhibition and returned to the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, which had loaned the painting. The vandalism was first noticed on 7 December by two visitors who raised the alarm with a gallery employee. The left figure also had a small crumble of the paint layer up to the underlying layer on the face.” “Fortunately, the vandal drew with a pen without strong pressure, and therefore the relief of the strokes as a whole was not disturbed. “The ink has slightly penetrated into the paint layer, since the titanium white used to paint the faces is not covered with author’s varnish, as is often the case in abstract painting of that time,” Ivan Petrov wrote in the Art Newspaper, which broke the story. “His motives are still unknown but the administration believes it was some kind of a lapse in sanity,” she said. The exhibition’s curator, Anna Reshetkina, said the painting was vandalised “with a Yeltsin Center-branded pen”. You can create this look by carving a simple face, painting the pumpkin white, adding some funky ribbon hair. Alexander Drozdov, the executive director of the Yeltsin Center, did not identify the security guard in a statement, but said he worked for a private security company and had been fired.
