Russian Self-portraits
The self-portraits in this book were taken by visitors in the summer 1976 at an American cultural exchange visit, Photography USA, in Kiev.
Valentin Serov
At the age of 23, in 1888, Valentin Serov burst onto the Moscow art scene with his portrait, Girl with Peaches. Painted in the Impressionist manner, this debut work heralded the change from 19th-century realism to 20th-century modernism in Russia. He quickly became the pre-eminent portraitist of Russia's Silver Age.
Russian Portraits in Watercolour (1825-1855)
As early as the eighteenth century, portrait painting as a genre was unusually advanced in Russia. Among the many foreign artists who were invited there during the period architects, sculptors and goldsmiths as well as painters the majority of painters specialized in portraits. Under their influence a Russian school of portrait painting grew up, counting among its numbers artists such as Nikitin, Argunov and Rokotov, and later Levitzky and Borovikovsky. From that time, court portraiture in Russia was to eclipse in importance all other genres, whether seascapes, landscapes or still lives. This work reveals for the first time a large number of paintings - chiefly portraits of contemporaries of Pushkin - taken from one of the most significant and important private collections of Russian watercolor portraits of the nineteenth century. It is of exceptional interest not only for the quality of the works reproduced, but also for the great variety of both artists and subjects represented.
