SI Frolov - the forgotten student Repin.
 

Undeservedly forgotten by the outstanding Russian painter, graphic artist and teacher Semyon Frolov (1878 - 11/25/1950). Almost did not survive his works, but there are still memories of that pore: "In 1899 I successfully graduated from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where I was fortunate to learn from Serov. After graduating from college, to receive a cash prize, along with his schoolmate, KF Yuonom I went abroad. (Visited Italy, France and Germany.) Returning to his homeland, he decided to learn and even enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts, using the law to be taken directly to the studio. It was natural to desire boys get into the studio of Ilya Repin, the teacher my first teacher. While in the studio Repin "autonomous" learned professor who has subsequently become well-known artists Malyavin, Kustodiyev, Goryushkin-Sorokopudov, Kardovsky, Verkhoturov and others.

On his return to his homeland, SI Frolov did not create large canvases, or they have not survived, he modestly satisfied with small sketches, but invested them with all their artistic talents of the experimenter. In many studies, shows the strong influence of Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. After all, traveling to France in 1899, the young Russian artists, Konstantin Juon and Semen Frolov, absorbed the spirit of the impressionists, and at the same time they learned the manner of painting, ie, "Coherent system of plein air, working outdoors, they create a sense of blazing sunshine, the wealth of colors of nature, the dissolution of volumetric forms in the vibration of light and air. Decomposition of complex tones by pure color (imposed on the individual brush strokes on canvas and designed for optical mixing them in the eye of the viewer). Of course, SI Frolov could be considered a kagorte first Russian impressionists, certainly not of such magnitude as K. Korovin, I. Grabar, but still he had them.
