Kossenkov, Vassiliy Petrovich
Vassiliy Petrovich Kossenkov takes his place among other renowned Soviet landscape painters such as Efrem I. Zverkov, Nikolai Efimovich Timkov, Vladimir Y. Yukin, and Vladimir Fedorovich Tokarev. These masters are brought together by openness, simplicity and delicacy. The emotional intensity of their paintings is rooted in their tender allegiance to their native land.

He remained close to nature throughout his life, and traveled extensively throughout Russia, painting on location in all seasons and weather conditions. In 1937…

The life itself made him an artist. He was lucky not to be forced painting in an official formal manner, glorifying the socialist labor. The artist simply polished…
Russian Painters
The traditional Russian painting is one of the world’s most important schools of thought. Through generations, artists and artists’ ideas of teachers have been passed on to students. To this day, Russia produces outstanding works in technical perfection and with love for the subject. This generally acknowledged high quality of traditional Russian painting is all the more amazing considering the fact that icons were created exclusively in this country for more than 800 years. With the opening to the west at the time of Peter the Great, the timid transition from egg-tempered wood on wood to the oil painting on canvas took place in the first foremost portraits. But it was…
