"Konstantin Korovin. Painting. Theatre "

The Tretyakov Gallery , March 29 - August 12, 2012
Moscow, Krimsky Val, 10 , Halls № 60-61

The largest exhibition project of the year , " Konstantin Korovin. Painting. The theater " dedicated to the famous painter abroad XIX - XX centuries Konstantin Korovin (1861-1939 ). Artist organically adopted and reinterpreted the picturesque tradition of modern European art , earning the reputation of "the first Russian Impressionist ».

He was at the opening - great, another definition can not find a descent , because the terms " good" and " cool " does not reflect the scale of the event. A very large and interesting exhibition. Feel free to put it on a par with exhibitions Levitan , the Paris school and the Blue Rider , in the past year.
The exhibition is built both chronologically and by topic , I do not know how it managed to combine , but failed. It is interesting to observe changes in the works , from early where there is no evident influence of the armed eye , and Serov and Polenov - up to a mature , strong, independent creativity.
