Notes

As a Socialist realist painter, Alexandre Gerasimov stood out for his depiction of nature. His landscapes, and particularly his still lifes, not only set him apart from his more politicizing contemporaries, but also revealed his extraordinary artistic abilities. This painting reflects Gerasimov's love of flowers and the charm of the Russian summer.
