My life. Korovin K.

The brilliant master of landscape painting, a wonderful portrait and theater decorator, the founder of Russian impressionism, Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin left a large artistic and literary heritage, which is difficult to overestimate. His life and work took place in an era rich in historical events, fate brought him to outstanding people of his time - artists, actors, theater figures, philanthropists, many of whom became his close friends. Among them, M. A. Vrubel, V. A. Serov, I. I. Levitan, V. D. Polenov, A.K. Savrasov, F. I. Chaliapin, S. I. Mamontov.

, being in exile, yearning for his homeland, Korovin completed his memoirs, begun in the early years of the revolution, wrote stories, where with piercing truth and simplicity he captured Russia's sweet to his heart and those whom he loved and remembered. His stories are usually autobiographical, they are surprisingly “picturesque” and allow us to talk about the author’s undoubted literary talent. Once V. Ya. Svetlov very accurately called K. A. Korovin the poet and artist of the word.
