I love discovering a new artist. Or a new-to-me artist.
Today it was Boris Kustodiev.
I stumbled across Kustodiev's work, A Merchant's Wife Teatime, when I was searching online for a picture of watermelon seeds! Thank you Google.
Boris Mikhaylovich Kustodiev (1878-1927) was a Russian painter, book illustrator and stage designer. If I have seen his art before, it didn't connect with me, as some of it is quite traditional.
But this image caught my eye. The colours, her rich robes, the cat... how WONDERFUL it is!!
Below are a few other works of his that I like.
