Naive artist Korovkin and his glass menagerie

Abstract

Albert Korovkin (b. 1935) – the artist, whose name was included in the World Encyclopedia of Naive Art. His works came to the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts as part of the donations of Eugene Roizman. Among the donated works of Albert Korovkin, about 50 items are glass-blowing artworks. A.N. Korovkin worked as a glassblower at the Institute of the Ural Scientific Center, where he manufactured scientific equipment, he did not have any professional art education. Since at the time of collection of works, the collector did not record attribution data, any information on the technology of making works as well as a comparative analysis of scenes from paintings and glass-blowing works are relevant. The article attempts such an analysis.
