Topic: Ivan Alexander Serov


  
  Valentin Serov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The biggest influences on Serov were paintings of the old masters in museums of Russia and Western Europe, friendship with Mikhail Vrubel and later with Konstantin Korovin, and the creative atmosphere of the Abramtsevo Colony circle to which he was closely connected.
In portraits of children Serov aspired to capture pose and gesture, to reveal and emphasize a spontaneity of internal movement, sincere cleanliness and clearness of attitude of the child ("Children", 1899, Russian museum; "Mika Morozov", 1901, Tretyakov gallery).
Serov’s democratic beliefs were clearly shown during the Revolution from 1905 to 1907: he depicted a number of satirical figures exposing chastisers, and being a full member of the St.Petersburg Academy of arts since 1903, in 1905 he left it as a gesture of protest against the execution on January 9.
