“The Artist and His Model” 1940 by Nikolay Nikolaevich Gorlov (1917-1987) is the painting about an Artist during the War. Many Gorlov’s fellow artists have joined the army in 1940s and swapped their brushes and easels for rifles. They could still spend quick minutes for sketching this way: still in the military uniform, in an unheated studio, asking a friend or a neighbor to spare some time and sit for the painting. “The Artist and his Model” 1940, Oil on Canvas, 84x66 cm

“Watering Flowers” 1958 by Nikolay Nikolaevich Gorlov (1917-1987) is an amazing work that combines the genres of portrait and still-life. Quite obviously admiring and lovingly depicting his model (and wife) Gorlov masterly implants flowers and objects into his canvas and makes them sound equally meaningful to the human character. So the zigzag formed be the woman’s neck, highlighted arm and a glass jug is competing with the still-life of flowers and fruits on the left side of the painting. “Watering Flowers” 1958, Oil on Canvas, 164x132 cm

“Morning at the Dacha” 1958 - another stunning atmospheric work by Nikolay Nikolaevich Gorlov (1917-1987) whose artistic gift we showcase in February. Quintessential leisurely ambiance of the Russian country house with it’s cosy bed and the window open to the garden, modest bunch of garden flowers on the bedside table. The person reading in bed is most likely the artist’s wife. “Morning at the Dacha”1958, Oil on Canvas, 74x61 cm

Another family themed masterpiece by Nikolay Nikolaevich Gorlov (1917-1988) “The Family” 1949, Oil on Canvas, 175x 110 cm. Full of love and sincere admiration this family portrait is executed in warm colours with a great attention to detail. There is so much to discover on this large scale canvas: beautiful expression of the faces, expressive hands holding fruits, reach shades of the rug covering the table.

This February we celebrate the talent of the outstanding Russian Impressionist artist Nikolay Nikolaevich Gorlov (1917-1987). We’ll aim to post here his most beautiful works beginning from the earliest ones. We’re starting today with this intimate scene probably depicting the artist’s wife and his little son sleeping in a cradle. Nikolay Gorlov himself has lost his parents in an early age and has been raised in an orphanage. When he later got married and had a child, he became a devoted husband and father who highly appreciated his family life. This is the reason he produced quite a number of beautiful family portraits and scenes. “Mother” , 1946, Oil on Canvas, 125x100 cm.
