Sokolov, Vladimir Ivanovich (1872-1946)

His first student's picture of Vladimir Sokolov presented at the exhibition of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1893.

He was a student of II Levitan , and his work of late XIX - early XX century bore the marks of the natural influence of the great Russian landscape painter.

The artist's works of this time were imbued with subtle lyricism and filled with a special "scenic" silence.

Subject paintings VI Sokolov has changed little in the years of Soviet power. He is still close low-key nature spots, the small Russian town (Rostov, Moore, Sergiev Posad).

The contribution of VI Sokolov in a clean painting would be much greater if it were not for his broad artistic interests. He was a great schedule, and talented craftsmen.
