 The St. Petersburg Times - Arts + Features - Masterpiece theater
Serov’s “smart portraits” made him the most significant and in-demand portraitist in Russia in the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century.
Serov is connected with almost all the key figures and events of 1880s-1910s.
Although Serov exhibited at several of the exhibitions held by the group of artists known as the Peredvizhniki, or “Wanderers” in the beginning of 1890s, in artistic terms he belonged more to the “art for art’s sake” paradigm of Sergei Diaghilev’s “World of Art” group, which Serov joined from its inception.

 VALENTIN ALEXANDROVICH SEROV
One of the greatest Russian portrait painters, Serov was born on January 19, 1865, in the family of the composer A. Serov, author of the operas Judith, Rogneda, and the Evil Power.
Serov's fame depends not only on the sheer number of remarkable and memorable works he left, but on his willingness to develop as an artist, to explore new styles and techniques, and to search for new ways of expression without giving up on his convictions or subscribing slavishly to this or that art theory.
The portrait of Ivan Morozov, in its vivid colors and the emphasis placed on freer modeling of the human figure brings to mind postimpressionist works of Matisse as well as many paintings of Russian artists of the same period, for instance Malevich's Self Portrait.
