An esthete of Russian modernism
Reinventing the past with tenderness and irony
Son of a curator of the Hermitage, Konstantin Somov trained at the Imperial Academy in Saint Petersburg and then in Repin's workshop. Co-founder of the Mir Iskusstva movement with Alexandre Benois and Serge de Diaghilev, he prefers intimate portraits, refined illustration and gallant parties inspired by the 18th century to great realistic stories. The "Konstantin Somov" selection offers its own journey on this subject. His reading favors the story.
At Somov, the old park is a stage: lovers play their role while the sky and shadows reveal the fragility of the setting.
