In 1907 in North Africa, in Biskra, a small pencil-watercolor work \u201cA Native Child\u201d was painted – the result of the artist\u2019s African impressions and his passion for Paul Gauguin\u2019s art.
In the watercolor sketch to the painting \u201cGirls on the Volga,\u201d a general compositional scheme of the future painting is developed, the poses of the figures of three girls depicted by the artist on the banks of the Volga are refined.
The Samarkand oil sketch on canvas \u201cBoys on the Background of the City\u201d is the result of the artist\u2019s trip to Central Asia in 1921. Tranquility and silence spilled in space, akin to the eternity to which this ancient city of the East was involved.
Finally, the oil painting of the wife and muse of the artist, Maria Petrova-Vodkina (Maria Jovanovic), repeatedly depicted by him on his canvases.
Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin was also a talented, unique writer. To literature he gravitated from youth. He gravitated towards literature from youth. A remarkable autobiographical trilogy \u00abKhlynovsk\u00bb, \u00abEurlid Space\u00bb, \u00abSamarkandia\u00bb came out from under his pen.
