Read the text ‘’Valentin Serov ‘’(1865-1911)

Valentin Serov, the son of the opera composer, had come as a small boy to live at Abramtsevo with his widowed mother in 1874. He grew up in the atmosphere of constant creative activity which characterized the Mamontov household. From a very early age Serov was siven drawing lessons by Repin, who was very fond of the little boy, and he soon showed himself to be a remarkably precocious draughtsman. He would catch the likeness of a model of ten more quickly and surely than the older artists in the merry “drawing competitions” which were so much part of this gay, idyllic life of Abramtsevo. This talent for catching a likeness Serov later developed and he become the most successful and brilliant portraitist of the 1890’s and first decade of this century. But before this he was a beautiful landscape painter in a more sensuous and less nostalgic vein than his master Levitan. Serov, like Korovin, was a most beneficial influence in the Moscow College where he taught from 1900 up till 1909. He was a superb technical master of the many media in which he practiced and that too did not fail to impress his students.

Suricov had shown him the value of fine colors, a lesson which the revived interest in icons had helped to stress. It was from these ancient panels that Serov also became aware of the significance of the essential in a composition and the unimportance of the unnecessary, but it was undoubtedly Vrubel who showed Serov the value of responding to a personal emotional experience. Serov was thus able to make his mark at the age of twenty-two on exhibiting two paintings “Girl with Peaches” and “Girl in Sunlight”. At the time of painting them he was unfamiliar with the works of the French impressionists, yet he came very close to Renoir in these luminous, sunny, splendidly composed portraits.
