Nikolai Alexandrovich Tarkhov

Nikolai Alexandrovich Tarkhov (Russian: Николай Александрович Тархов) was a Russian Impressionist and Modern painter, celebrated for his unique approach to color and form, which distinguished him from his contemporaries. Born in Moscow in 1871 into a wealthy merchant family, Tarkhov broke away from traditional Russian folklore themes and the classical teachings of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris to develop his own artistic language. His work, characterized by vibrant colors and a preference for depicting modern life and intimate family scenes, resonated with both the impressionist and fauvist movements, yet maintained a distinct, personal style that art critic Alexander Benois described as instantly recognizable among thousands​​​​.

Tarkhov's journey into the art world was marked by significant exhibitions and the support of art critics and patrons. His participation in major Parisian and European exhibitions, alongside his solo shows, highlighted his evolving style—from abstract forms and impressionistic strokes to more figurative works inspired by his family life following his marriage to Yvonne Deltreil. Despite facing financial difficulties and isolation after moving to Orsay in 1911, his dedication to painting 'as close to nature as the Impressionists' remained unwavering​​.

Tarkhov's legacy is a testament to his relentless pursuit of a personal artistic vision, unconfined by the prevailing styles of his time. His work, once celebrated in Paris, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, remains a significant contribution to the Russian and European art scenes, offering a blend of Impressionism and Fauvism through a deeply personal lens. His paintings, characterized by their luminous color and emotive content, continue to captivate art lovers and collectors around the world.
