Researchers creativity of the famous Russian and Soviet artist-impressionist Konstantin Korovin distinguish a special, “floral” period of his work, which falls on the beginning of the twentieth century. At this time, the painter especially often addressed you with still-lifes.
It is to this period of Korovin’s creativity that this painting “Roses” belongs. As you know, the artist has devoted more than one canvas to the depiction of roses, he was always attracted by these majestic, chic flowers – real queens among other flowers. The roses depicted in this picture attract the viewer’s attention with their fresh appearance.
In work the artist uses cold shades. Petals, written in shades of red in an amazing way, are in harmony with the gray colors of their surroundings. It seems that the picture exudes cold and sorrow.
Even bright spots of warm shades seem random on this canvas and can not change the overall impression of it. So the artist wants to emphasize the independence of the beauty of these flowers. The absence of a plot in this floral still-life further emphasizes the independence of these beautiful, but such cold creations of nature.
In general, the picture leaves the impression of some incompleteness, unfinished. The indistinctness of the lines, coupled with the absence of the allocated elements, forces the viewer to perceive the entire image as a whole, without focusing on one thing or the other. This way the artist once again emphasizes not the flowers themselves, but their cold beauty and independence.
