A Family at Table (Ivan Kulikov, 1938)
We continue the practise of comparing Russian middle class and peasant life in Ivan Kulikov’s work. However, notice a telling detail in this painting. Go back at look at the Self-Portrait (1939) by Mr Kulikov, and, then, look at the paterfamilias in this scene. I say there is a stunning resemblance. In short, this is a depiction of the Kulikov household done by its doting husband and father.
