Valentin Serov (Saint Pétersbourg 1865 – Moscou 1911) Parmi les «jeunes Ambulants » qui rejoignirent le Monde de l’Art, le portraitiste le plus brillant fut sans conteste Valentin Serov. Comme beaucoup de ses contemporains, il affectionnait la peinture de plein air, et certains de ses portraits les plus attrayants – Jeune Fille aux pêches, Fillette dans la Lumière du Soleil ou En Été – doivent leur côté naturel au décor ou aux jeux d’ombres et de lumière. En réalité, Serov considérait ces oeuvres comme des études plutôt que des portraits, ce qui explique que le titre ne mentionne pas le nom du modèle. On sait cependant que Jeune Fille aux pêches est Vera, la fille du mécène Mamontov. Et dans En Été, c’est l’épouse de Serov elle-même qui est représentée. Serov fut un enfant précoce. Il commença à montrer des dispositions artistiques dès l’âge de six ans. A neuf ans, il fut envoyé à Paris chez Répine, qui devint son professeur et son mentor. Quand Répine revint en Russie, il emmena l’enfant avec lui et le fit travailler comme apprenti dans son atelier moscovite. Finalement, le maître l’envoya chez un autre professeur, Pavel Chistiakov. Cet homme, qui forma nombre de peintres du Monde de l’Art, allait d’ailleurs devenir un de ses amis intimes. Etant donné la longueur de la carrière de Serov, on ne s’étonnera guère de la diversité de son style et de ses thèmes de prédilection : des peintures mondaines de la haute société (avec le style grandiose de leurs costumes) aux portraits tout en finesse de jeunes enfants. Radicalement différente de toutes ses oeuvres, la fameuse étude de nu de la danseuse Ida Rubinstein, peinte sur toile à la détrempe et au fusain, date de la fin de sa vie. Les premiers tableaux de Serov rappellent le style des impressionnistes français.

Valentin Serov

By: Valentin Serov,Dmitri V. Sarabianov

Among the “young peredvizhniki” who joined the World of Art group, the most brilliant portraitist was Valentin Serov. Like many of his contemporaries, he delighted in painting out of doors, and some of his most appealing portraits – such as Girl with Peaches, Girl in Sunlight and In Summer - owe their naturalness to their setting or to the interplay of sunlight and shadows. Indeed, Serov regarded them as “studies” rather than portraits, giving them descriptive titles that omitted the sitter's name. The subject of Girl with Peaches – painted when Serov was only twenty-two – was in fact Mamontov's daughter Vera. The model for In Summer was Serov's wife. When only six years old, Serov began to display signs of artistic talent. At nine years old, Repin acted as his teacher and mentor, giving him lessons in his studio in Paris, then let Serov work with him in Moscow, almost like an apprentice. Eventually Repin sent him to study with Pavel Chistiakov – the teacher of many of the World of Art painters, including Nesterov and Vrubel. Chistiakov was to become a close friend. Because Serov's career spanned such a long period, his style and subject matter vary considerably, ranging from voluptuous society portraits (the later ones notable for their grand style and sumptuous dresses) to sensitive studies of children. Utterly different from any of these is the famous nude study of the dancer Ida Rubinstein, in tempera and charcoal on canvas, which he painted towards the end of his life. Although Serov's early style has much in common with the French Impressionists, he did not become acquainted with their work until after he had painted pictures such as Girl with Peaches.

Handbook of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

By: Andrei D. Polyanin,Valentin F. Zaitsev

The Handbook of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations is the latest in a series of acclaimed handbooks by these authors and presents exact solutions of more than 1600 nonlinear equations encountered in science and engineering--many more than any other book available. The equations include those of parabolic, hyperbolic, elliptic and other types, and the authors pay special attention to equations of general form that involve arbitrary functions. A supplement at the end of the book discusses the classical and new methods for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear equations. To accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid wherever possible the use of special terminology, outline some of the methods in a schematic, simplified manner, and arrange the equations in increasing order of complexity. Highlights of the Handbook:

Genetics and Breeding of Common Carp

By: Valentin S. Kirpitchnikov,Roland Billard

This book presents not only the different biotopes in which the common carp has settled, but also a thorough analysis of the phenotypic and genotypic traits of the various pigmented species. The different artificial selection and breeding methods will enable an optimum production of very resistant hybrids.

Galactic Heritage

New Keys of Understanding

By: Ann Valentin

Galactic Heritage: New Keys of Understanding" centers around Marc who interacts with Kudon, a visitor from the far side of the universe. C-ton (Earth) was colonized many millennia ago by beings from five sources, including The Pleiades and Orion. Who these beings were, why they came here and how they continue to interact with us today is discussed. Much of what you need to know about the planet's galactic history is right in front of you. Written directly from channeled communications, "Galactic Heritage: New Keys of Understanding" lays the groundwork that will help you remember.

Handbook of Conformal Mapping with Computer-Aided Visualization

By: Valentin I. Ivanov,Michael K. Trubetskov

This book is a guide on conformal mappings, their applications in physics and technology, and their computer-aided visualization. Conformal mapping (CM) is a classical part of complex analysis having numerous applications to mathematical physics. This modern handbook on CM includes recent results such as the classification of all triangles and quadrangles that can be mapped by elementary functions, mappings realized by elliptic integrals and Jacobian elliptic functions, and mappings of doubly connected domains. This handbook considers a wide array of applications, among which are the construction of a Green function for various boundary-value problems, streaming around airfoils, the impact of a cylinder on the surface of a liquid, and filtration under a dam. With more than 160 domains included in the catalog of mapping, Handbook of Conformal Mapping with Computer-Aided Visualization is more complete and useful than any previous volume covering this important topic. The authors have developed an interactive ready-to-use software program for constructing conformal mappings and visualizing plane harmonic vector fields. The book includes a floppy disk for IBM-compatible computers that contains the CONFORM program.
