Self Portrait, 1880s
Valentin Alexandrovich Serov was born to the composer Alexander Serov and his fellow composer wife Valentina Bergman.
He is said to be of partial Jewish descent. In his childhood he studied under Ilya Repin (in Paris and Moscow) and in the St.Petersburg
Academy of Arts (1880-1885) under Pavel Chistyakov. Serov’s early creativity was sparked by the influence of the realistic
art of Repin and strict plastic system of Chistyakov. The biggest influences on Serov were paintings of the old masters in museums
of Russia and Western Europe, friendship with Mikhail Vrubel and later with Konstantin Korovin, and the creative atmosphere
of the Abramtsevo Colony circle to which he was closely connected.
The best works of Serov are among the greatest of Russian realistic
art. He taught in the Moscow School of painting, sculpturing
and architecture from 1897 to 1909), and among his students
were Pavel Kuznetsov, N.N. Sapunov, Martiros Saryan, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin,
N.P. Ulyanov, and Konstantin Yuon.
