Serov and Korovin KGallery pairs their work

Oct 2

Alena Germanova visits KGallery's Serov and Korovin exhibition in St. Petersburg. Curator Ksenia Bendina contrasts Korovin's rapid, colorful painting with Serov's meticulous drawing and portraiture. Director Kristina Berezovskaya explains their artistic dialogue and the emphasis on rarely displayed private works. The report shows the golden-line design, a Pavlova ballet-poster sketch and paired Chokolov portraits reunited from the Russian Museum and a private collection. It recalls the painters' friendship and differing careers and says the display lasts through year-end. Historical anecdotes are exhibition context.
