  1. It’s hard to imagine a teenager painting something which seems to show and express someone who has lived. It’s deep and touching and captivating. Wonderful style and light.
    Impressive indeed.
    Wonderful series.

  3. Serov malte in vielen Stilrichtungen, seine impressionistischen Kunstwerke konnten mit denen der französischen konkurrieren. Ich habe seine Gëmalde in der Eremitage und der Tretjakow-Galerie gesehen.
    Als Katalysator für die russische Kunst grüdente Serov die Zeitschrift Mir iskusstva. (“)
