|
Victor Borisov-Musatov was the leading inspiration of the Blue Rose artists and the forerunner of Russian Symbolism.Victor Borisov-Musatov aspired to realize through his paintings an idyllic dream of happiness, and his lyrical romantic paintings are full of peace and harmony. Musatov's depicting of times past was not historically correct, his ladies and cavaliers wearing beautiful antique clothes were simple lovely, idyllic, in absolute contrast to reality. The new tendency of Borisov-Musatov's creation is in the symbolic style and the relation of painting to music. The names of his artworks are no accident: "Harmony", "Eulogy", "Autumn Song"... The artist lived in past, but his system of painting was the art of the future, inspired by many remarkable Russian artists such as P.Kuznetzov, K.Petrov-Vodkin, N.Krymov and others.
