Alexander Kuprin

Alexander Vasilievich Kuprin was a permanent participant of exhibitions of the “Jack of Diamonds” artistic association.
Kuprin’s early works presented at Yerevan Museum of Russian Art - “The Tree over the Overgrown Pond” and “Gudauta” - expressive are and distinguished by free and expansive painting.
In the late “Still Life with the Braided Bottle” the echoes of Cezannism are felt.
Since 1926, Kuprin has systematically painted in the nature, both sketches and large paintings. In this period, the landscape genre became the main in the artist’s work. His Crimean landscapes were painted with great love. Professor A. Abrahamyan’s collection contains one of them, called “Crimea. Old Fountain.” The landscape was painted in 1927-1928 in Bakhchisaray. In the late landscapes of Kuprin, especially in the Crimean ones, the lyrical gift of this wonderful Russian painter is revealed.
