Surikov and Konchalovsky: closest of kin

Vasily Surikov’s and Piotr Konchalovsky’s kinship, the kinship of representatives of different generations of Russian art and various creative aspirations, is considered in the aspect of creative interconnections and in the context of the cultural processes of the early 20th century. Here it should be remembered their similar modus vivendi, and joint trips to Siberia, Surikovʼs homeland, to Krasnoyarsk, and also to Europe – Germany, or France, Spain; common views on classics; their joint work at the art studio of H. Anglada Camarasa in Paris and their sketches done while traveling.
