Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin was an
important Russian and Soviet painter and writer. Until the mid-1960s,
Petrov-Vodkin was nearly forgotten in the Soviet Union after his curtailment of
painting and turn towards writing. Petrov-Vodkin writings were republished in
the 1970s to a great acclaim, after a long period of neglect. His most famous
literary works are the 3 self-illustrated autobiographical novellas:
"Khlynovsk", "Euclidean Space" and "Samarcandia".
The second of these is of particular importance, as it transmits Petrov-Vodkin
worldview as an artist in great detail. Petrov-Vodkin also gave professional
support to Rachel Kogan, who was his protégé and friend.The largest collection
of Petrov-Vodkin's works is in the Russian Museum in St Petersburg, where, as
of 2012, a whole room in the permanent exhibition is devoted to the painter. A
memorial museum was also set up to Petrov-Vodkin in the house he built for his
parents in his home town of Khvalynsk. It displays a selection of his works, as
well as works by other Khvalynsk painters.
