Exhibition "Konstantin Korovin - artist of the Bolshoi Theater"

[Сима]

fross, I am here today all day thinking how to be with the exhibition. I decided that to speak about this exhibition can only under his own name and not under the nickname - it is a professional matter. For many years I laid out a series of sketches Korovin in descending order Korovinskoe and determined - the first round of copies, second, third, etc. It was sometimes possible to isolate the hand of the author copies, folded artists and not always anonymous. Yes, and originals are not always existed.
But all this deeply down the drain. This, in fact, I have such leisure time was not one museum will not reset its "Korovin.
It is sad that the federal museums in this state of mind that questions the authenticity they do not care. This is the first part of the answer.

I Komardenkova told a funny episode. He worked as a performer at the Opera Fedorovsky Zimin, and near a studio Korovin. When Korovin went hunting, his assistant (paint is in buckets, ie, knew coloring), got drunk and took courage in hand and vazyukal of unfinished sketches with words "that's as it should." Returning from the half way of his master caught and severely beaten. It was always interesting, how often did this guy vazyukal at Korovin. Well, and the ensuing problems.
