Russian artist Nikolai Petrovich Krymov (1884-1958) (159 works)

You must not only love nature, but be able to transfer this love to the canvas, where you need to sensitively guess the size of the painting spot, and all the subtlety of pictorial relationships in nature, and the feeling of its beauty.
Krymov N.P.

...it would be nice to have in painting, as in music, a tuning fork, that is, an object that would not lose its luminosity either day or night, neither in winter nor in summer, and would be constant, not changing from environmental conditions.
Krymov N.P.

There is a lot of confusion in defining the concept of realistic painting. Painting is often called a painted drawing, and in general anything done with paints. Some recognize only what is written boldly and sweepingly and do not consider painting to be painting if it is written in detail, smoothly and modestly.
