Khlynovsk. Petrov-Vodkin K.

The great Russian artist Kuzma Sergeyevich Petrov-Vodkin (1878–1939) was also an outstanding writer. Khlynovsk is the first part of the master’s autobiography, a bright and colorful story about childhood and their hometown on the Volga, about the sources and the beginning of the creative path. What was the awakening to painting? “Uncle Vanya in the pantry came across me pots with oil paint and a couple of brushes. Here I found a cut of white tin. I painted on it a picture-strife. The brushes were thick to portray them with trees; Then I had the idea to use a trim of a half -worn bristle to portray a crown. On white trunks, twisting a different color, I portrayed the barrels of bores. ”
