Konstantin Korovin is one of the brightest masters of the Silver Age, who went down in the history of Russian art as the first impressionist. But few admirers of the artist’s work know that Korovin spent 1898 in Central Asia and, thanks to this trip, created a pavilion dedicated to the beauties of the Turkestan region at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, receiving a Gold Medal for his work.
This time, the “Big Korovinsky outdoor class” was held for the sixth time and brought together more than two hundred artists from different countries and cities in ten locations, which were also joined by Tashkent, where more than a hundred participants gathered.
