The publishing house "White City" published a new book dedicated to the life and work of the People's Artist of Russia, a full member of the Russian Academy of Arts Vladimir Nikolaevich Korbakov. The artist's biography in a rare way is a combination of the formation of a creative personality in the capital, where he was educated surrounded by future major masters of fine art, followed by an active creative life in Vologda. The creative potential accumulated in the capital was constantly updated with full-scale impressions and searches for new picturesque and compositional solutions.
