Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin (1878 - 1939) was a Russian, later Soviet, painter and writer. He passed from a period of interest in French Symbolism to deep delving in Russian themes and searches for national means of expression in the 1910s. His sources of inspiration were Russian icons, with their predominance of red, and the Russian countryside, with its blue sky and green expanses. Petrov-Vodkin’s works are diverse in genre, composition and content. His severe, almost ascetic still-lifes, portraits, genre compositions and thematic representations of military events are similar to icons and linked to the history of Russia and events taking place in it.Petrov-Vodkin was particularly interested in national roots, ideals and traditions in the mid-1910s, at the start of the First World War. Mother is based on a life motif, transformed by the master’s own personal vision. The outer appearance of the young peasant woman breast-feeding her baby grows into an image of the Madonna and Child, full of divine grace. The monumental figurative structure of the painting is intensified by the sonorous tones and dominant reds, the favourite colour of the Russian people.
