“The beauty and joy of life.” The transfer of this joy is the essence of the picture, pieces of my canvas, my self… I have no direction and no fashion – there is no Impressionism, no Cubism, no ism: I, this is my singing for life, I love… art, friendship, sun, river, flowers, laughter, grass, nature, road, color, paint, form… “- wrote Korovin in the declining years in one of the letters.
Of course, denying them impressionism in his work is a desire to evade the accusation of following a certain system. Impressionist Korovin was, but his impressionism did not fit into a rational sample of searches in the field of spectral analysis. A vivid example of this is the numerous views of Paris.
