Victor Kuzmich Teterin

Victor Kuzmich Teterin (Russian: Виктор Кузьмич Тетерин) was a Soviet artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He is known as a painter and graphic artist, a representative of the Leningrad school.

Victor Teterin became famous for his urban landscapes, still lifes and genre compositions. At the beginning of his career he meticulously reproduced realistic forms and everyday life in Leningrad, but later focused on the exploration of color and bright colors, especially after trips to the Crimea. In 1966 his style became decorative, light and free in expression, with color and rhythm becoming key elements.

Teterin's works are in numerous museums and private collections around the world, including Russia, France, Italy, the UK and Germany.
