Painting First gold, artist Kokin Mikhail

People's Artist of Ukraine, Honored Artist of the USSR - KOKIN Mikhail masterfully showed himself as a landscape painter. The artist used classical techniques, but created canvases in his own style.

KOKIN Mikhail Alexandrovich was born on July 16, 1921 in Ekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk, now - Dnepr), in the family of a worker. Since childhood, he showed an interest in drawing. This interest led the young man to the fine arts studio at the Palace of Pioneers (opened in the city in 1934).

Mikhail Kokin is one of the few who was able to maintain a delicate balance between the requirements of "socialist realism" and lyricism in painting. He was equally successful with portraits of the heroes of developed socialism, and landscapes of his native Dnieper region, and even views of distant Chukotka and Kamchatka.

In 2001 he was awarded the honorary title "People's Artist of Ukraine". His last lifetime solo exhibition was held in 2007 at the Dnepropetrovsk Art Museum.

Mikhail Kokin's works are kept in many museums of the Dnieper region, Ukraine and abroad. These are Dnepropetrovsk art museum, Pavlograd local history museum, museum in Petrikivka, Donetsk, Nikolaev, Zhitomir, Korsun-Shevchenko, Kherson, Kakhovka local history museums, as well as private collections around the world.
