Sergei Ivanovich Osipov

Sergei Ivanovich Osipov (Russian: Сергей Иванович Осипов) was a Soviet artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He is known as a painter and teacher, a representative of the Leningrad school of painting.

According to critics, Sergei Osipov reached the peak of his creativity in the 1970s and early 1980s, when he created a number of outstanding works in the genres of landscape and still life. His favorite subject was nature and views of old Russian towns in his native Tver land. His paintings are characterized by laconism, conventionality of forms, and expressiveness of images, which is reminiscent of the art of Old Russian masters. His works left a significant trace in Leningrad painting of the 1970s and gave it an identity.
