Konstantin Korovin

Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin is called the first Russian Impressionist. The art Dmitri Sarabianov writes: “Konstantin Korovin from the very beginning started on the path of Impressionism and kept it till the end of his days.”
Korovin’s numerous views of Paris are especially “impressionistic.”
Korovin liked to paint evening and night Paris, sparkling with colorful lights of lanterns, brightly illuminated shop windows and the multicolor dresses of the walking crowds.
Many of Korovin’s canvases, as well as still life presented in our museum, seem to have absorbed light, joy and sunshine. Konstantin Alekseevich said: “Art should bring people joy” - and asserted this with his bright and rich colors.
