Self-portrait 1918 State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg

Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin, (1878 - 1939) was an important Russian and Soviet painter and writer. He was also an excellent semi-professional violinistBorn in Khvalynsk (Saratov Oblast) into the family of a local shoemaker, his first exposure to art was in his early childhood, when he took some lessons from a couple of icon painters and a signmaker. By chance, his mother's employer invited a well-known architect, R. Meltzer. Petrov-Vodkin was introduced to the guest and impressed him enough to get an invitation to study art at Saint Petersburg. The education was financed by a charitable subscription among local merchants. He also met at this time Borisov-Musatov, an important painter resident in Saratov, who encouraged Petrov-Vodkin to continue his studies. Petrov-Vodkin stayed in Saint Petersburg from 1895 to 1897 studying at the Baron Stieglits School, before moving to the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. There Petrov-Vodkin was a student of Valentin Serov, Isaak Levitan and especially Konstantin Korovin. In 1901 he travelled to Munich to take classes with Anton Ažbe.He graduated in 1904.
