Tatiana Serov,"The windows in the house":.
Among the most famous Russian artists is a talented man Serov Valentin Alexandrovich.
In the picture“Portrait of MK Olive” Valentin Serov has invested all his talent and soul.
Chaliapin's portrait is written in charcoal on canvas, and the fact that Serov turned here specifically to the drawing is symptomatic.
Now the characters of the Serov portraits are heroes in the full sense of the word,
marked with a seal of exclusivity, proud solitude, as if ascended to a pedestal.
In the bookcases the family library, photographs of close friends, as well as art portraits of Anton Chekhov are stored,
among which the work of the artist Valentin Serov stands out.
If in the 1890s Serov was interested in the variety of“artistic manifestations”,
reflected in a variety of pictorial manners, the portraits of Gorky, Ermolova, and Shalyapin, created in 1905, express a different concept of the creative personality.
