Konstantin Alekseyevich Korovin Art
Russian, 1861-1939
Konstantin Alekseyevich Korovin was a leading Russian Impressionist painter.
Konstantin was born in Moscow to a merchant family officially registered as peasants of Vladimir gubernia. In 1875 Korovin entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where he learned from Vasily Perov and Alexei Savrasov. During his scholar years Korovin became friends with his fellow students Valentin Serov and Isaac Levitan; Konstantin kept these friendships through the whole of his life.
In 1881-1882, Korovin spent a year at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg, but returned disappointed to the Moscow School of Painting, sculpturing and architecture. He studied at the school under the new teacher Vasily Polenov until 1886.
In 1885, Korovin traveled to Paris and Spain. "Paris was a shock for me … Impressionists… in them I found everything for what I was scolded back at home, in Moscow", he later wrote.
In the 1890s, Korovin became a member of the Mir iskusstva art group.
Korovin's subsequent works were strongly influenced by his travel to the North. In 1888 he was captivated by the stern northern landscapes, as seen in The Coast of Norway and The Northern Sea.
In 1900, Korovin designed the Central Asia section of the Russian Empire pavilion on the Paris World Fair; and was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French government.
In the beginning of the 20th century Korovin focused his attention on the theatre. He moved from Mamontov's opera to Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg. Korovin designed sets for Constantin Stanislavski's dramatic productions, as well as Mariinsky's operas and ballets. He did the stage design for such Mariinsky's productions of Faust (1899), The Little Humpbacked Horse (1901) and Sadko (1906) that became famous for their expressiveness.
In 1905, Korovin became an Academician of Painting, and in 1909-1913, he was a professor at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
One of the artist's favourite themes was Paris. He painted A Paris Cafe (1890s), Cafe de la Paix (1905), La Place de la Bastille (1906), Paris at Night, Le Boulevard Italien (1908), Night Carnival (1901), Paris in the Evening (1907) and others.
In 1923 Korovin moved to Paris by the advice of the Commissar of Enlightenment, Anatoliy Vasilievich Lunacharsky, to cure his heart condition and help Korovin's handicapped son. There was supposed to be a large exhibition of Korovin's works but the works were stolen and Korovin was left penniless. For years he produced the numerous Russian winters and Paris boulevards just to make ends meet.
In the last years of his life he produced stage designs for many of the major theatres of Europe, America, Asia and Australia, the most famous of which is his scenery for a production by the Turin Opera House of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's The Golden Cockerel.
Korovin died in Paris on September 11, 1939.(Biography provided by Robert Azensky Fine Art)

In 1874, Konstantin Alekseevich Korovin enrolled in the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, studying under Vasilii Polenov and Aleksei Savrasov. In 1885, he made the acquaintance of the art patron and railroad magnate Savva Mamontov, becoming a member of the Abramtsevo colony and a close friend of Fedor Chaliapin and Valentin Serov. In the 1880s and 1890s, he worked as a stage designer for Mamontov’s opera productions such as Sadko, Khovanshchina, and Prince Igor, and in the late 1880s and early 1890s he travelled extensively in Europe, giving particular attention to French Impressionism, which left a profound influence on his painting. In 1894, with Serov, he travelled to the Far North of Russia, sketching and painting vernacular scenes, some of which he then adjusted to the interior design for Mamontov’s Northern Pavilion at the All-Russian Art and Industry exhibition in Nizhnii-Novgorod in 1896. In 1898, he joined the World of Art group and in 1900 was appointed artist-in-residence at the Bolshoi Theater, Moscow, working on a number of major productions such as Cesar Pugni’s ballet, The Little Hump-Backed Horse (1901). Thereafter, Korovin accepted numerous public and private commissions for operatic and dramatic productions, including Les Orientales (1910) for Sergei Diaghilev in Paris. From 1901 until 1918, he taught at the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture and, after emigrating to Paris in 1923, worked for a number of émigré theatre companies but with little success. His last major association was with Marie Kousnezoff’s Opéra Privé de Paris from 1929 to 1930. Korovin was one of Russia’s distinguished portraitists and stage designers. He made his debut as a theatrical painter in 1885 when he executed the sets and costumes for the production of Snegurochka at Mamontov’s private opera company (after Viktor Vasnetsov’s designs) and, thereafter, emerged rapidly as an independent stage designer – decorating 80 operas, 37 ballets, and 17 dramas during his lifetime. Korovin brought to the Russian stage a vibrancy that was lacking in the traditional imperial theaters, revolutionising the convention of stage design as an eclectic confection or dull ethnographical exercise by emphasising vivid colour and fast movement. Celebrated for the stylistic bravura and vivid palette with which he described both town and country, Korovin is also recognised as a perspicacious portraitist and as Russia’s premier Impressionist.
