Alexander Mihaylovich Gerasimov was born the August 12 1881 in city Kozlov (now Michurinsk), on Tambov region. The Father of the future artist, peasant by birth, subsequently was an cattle dealer - a merchant of the live-stock. He went on south of the country, bought up the live-stock, adjusted in Coachman's seat and sold on market area of the city. Later Gerasimov recalled that father except two-story building-mansion nothing have not made - not always his deal brought the greater incoms, sometimes it simply "went bust".
"Family our, - recalled Alexander Mihaylovich, - a vein on old custom and much strictly kept their".
Having Finished church-parochial school, Gerasimov enters in Kozlov district school. Simultaneously, the father accustoms "legal successor" to trade deal.
At the beginning initially 90-h years in Kozlov has arrived the graduate to Petersburg Academy art S.I.KRIVOLUCKIY and has opened the artistic school. In this time A.M.GERASIMOV begins to rage drawing. Somehow, sitting with father in tavern for tea, he has drawn the horse, but when has shown the drawing its friends, they have said: "But horse-that beside you was got as living". A little later he with absolute accuracy has drawn the many a merchant. Having Heard about opening of the school of the drawing, he became to visit it. When Gerasimov has shown their own drawings Krivoluckomu, Sergey Ivanovich has said him: "Young person, go to enter in Moscow School painting, sculpting and architecture".

A.M.GERASIMOV saw the beauty in all, even in the most simple and simple. He knew how to force to sound any, sometimes trivial motive. This quality we see in famous "Wet deck", written in its native city Michurinsk, in courtyard of its building for three with half of the hour. Tretiyakovskaya gallery has immediately gained this picture. "Wet deck " is written on one breathing as it were. Softness of the light, washing rain verdure garden, uncountable variety reflex on wet floor, on polished table, showerred petal of the roses - all this seizes the spirit.
