The exhibition is dedicated to the anniversary of Korovin - this year, colleagues and friends of the watercolor master celebrate his centenary.

The exposition is small in the number of the artist’s works presented in it, but it housed the works of most of the genres in which Oleg Korovin worked. The exhibition was created thanks to Yuri Kozlov, the head of the charity foundation Our Land. Yuri Kozlov provided all the works displayed at the exhibition stands from his collection.

The creative heritage of Oleg Korovin amounted to hundreds of drawings and watercolors, illustrations to several dozen books. He became widely known after the publication of the book "Malachite Box", which consisted of Ural legends recorded by Pavel Bazhov. All the wonderful illustrations that adorned this book were made by Oleg Korovin.

The exhibition presents only 15 works by the artist, written in his favorite technique - watercolors. Among them, landscapes depicting the most beautiful views of the Kama region, corners of the surroundings of Suksun. Sometimes Oleg Korovin combines still lifes with a landscape or interior in his works, which makes these works unusual, with a new perspective.

Portraits of children and women are filled with charm, self-portraits are psychological and striking in the depth of the image. The artist in his work often turned to the creation of portraits of historical figures. There are in the archives of Oleg Korovin and genre sketches filled with humor.
