In Russian. Short description: Valentin Serov. Paintings, Graphic Works, Scenography. Aurora Art Publisher. Leningrad. 1982. The album is dedicated to the creativity of one of the most interesting Russian artists of the late XIX - early XX century, Valentin Alexandrovich Serov (1865-1911). A disciple of I.E. Repin, a member of the Society of Itinerant Art Exhibitions and the World of Art association, Serov largely predetermined the main trends in the development of Russian painting in his work, enriching it with new artistic means. He opened new paths, connected one period in the history of Russian painting with another. In his art, tradition and innovation were extraordinarily organically combined. For those who cherished the traditions of past Russian painting, Serov delighted with deep realism in portrait characteristics, and for innovators, he was close with a constant search for the yet unattained. Serov is multifaceted, because in the complex era of the late XIX - early XX century, he sought to forget nothing that was bequeathed by predecessors, to use, revive, and give a new interpretation to what was bequeathed.
