The works of Vasily Surikov are a magnificent manifestation of the creative genius of the Russian people. In breadth and power of imagery, his canvases are a match for the musical images of Glinka and Mussorgsky. [gallery order="DESC" orderby="post_name"]
This is one of my graduation photos... yes, I know I look very serious in it. I probably had a lot on my mind. Here is the original page of the College's Gallery. Interestingly enough, I found what happened to a couple of graduates from 1989:
This Gallery Page is my long and ambitious pursuit to find, and catalogue as many as possible (so far I have 13) if not all of a photographic reproduction of the works by Viktor Hartmann, displayed at the posthumous exhibition that took place in 1874. This exhibition of about 400 works, led M. Mussorgsky to create the piano suite “Pictures at an Exhibition”. I have no doubt that the exhibition’s display was a memorable source of inspiration not only for Mussorgsky and all who attended it, but also for many living today.
The Latvian born American portrait photographer Philippe Halsman (1906-1979) worked mostly for "Life" and became closely identified with the look of the magazine. Between 1942 and his death, he took 101 Life cover pictures, including iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, Groucho Marx and Frank Sinatra.
I'm glad you are here, and hope you come back often. Feel free to surf around and see if you like what's on my site.
My name is Sergei Korschmin and I'm a Conductor and Music Teacher with the Queensland Youth Orchestras Association.
Overall, this web site is based around my hobbies. Firstly, I like history and philosophy, so I try to find time to read (My Library). Secondly, I like aesthetics and the structure of php, html, CSS and JavaScript hence these web pages, so I often make many changes to korschmin.com (probably to its detriment) - it is my www play ground if you like. Lastly, I like art and poetry. Some of my favourites are V.V. Mayakovsky, M.C. Escher, I.Y. Repin, P. Halsman, K.I. Chukovsky, V.I. Surikov, B.L. Pasternak, D.Velázquez and many more.
It is my hope that these web pages will fairly inform you of my intent, satisfy the curious minds of students with educational on-line resources, and help family members to discover a greater pleasure and have a deeper appreciation of their children's music-making. Read More »
