Later, in Paris she enrolled at the Académie de La Palette as a student of the French cubists Henri Le Fauconnier, Jean Metzinger, and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. Their influences were crucial to her practice, as witnessed in her works presented in 1914 at the Jack of Diamonds exhibition in Moscow. After returning to Moscow, she collaborated in the open collaborative workshop The Tower, where she came into contact with Mikhaïl Larionov and began producing Rayonist works while familiarising herself with the Constructivist theories of Vladmir Tatlin. In 1915 she joined the Supremus group founded by Kazimir Malevich and realised sketches for peasant cooperatives, as well as Suprematist pieces. In 1917, under the direction of the Armenian painter Gueorgui Yakoulov, she participated in a project that crystalized the Constructivists’ ambitions of bringing art and life together – the decorative program of the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e Café Pittoresque\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in Moscow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Work of Man Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42347523637476,"sku":"AW287","price":150000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/2630\/1156\/files\/lowresIMG_90631000_78877927-45bd-4837-b906-39cded6f6e08.jpg?v=1751207098"},{"product_id":"aw293-dostrovsky-avant-garde-composition-oil-on-board","title":"AW293 - Dostrovsky - Avant Garde Composition - Oil on Board","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTITLE: \u003c\/strong\u003eAvante Garde Composition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFRAME:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMMENTS: \u003c\/strong\u003eSigned \"Dostrovsky 80\" - Soviet-Avant-Garde-Abstract.

Lyubov Sergeyevna had two brothers and a sister: Sergei was the eldest, then Lyubov, Pavel and Olga. Pavel became a philosopher and the guardian of his sister's artistic legacy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePopova grew up with a strong interest in art, especially Italian Renaissance painting. At eleven years old she began formal art lessons at home; she was first enrolled in Yaltinskaia's Women's Gymnasium, then in Arseneva's Gymnasium in Moscow. By the age of 18 she was studying with Stanislav Zhukovsky, and in 1908 entered the private studios of Konstantin Yuon and Ivan Dudin. In 1912 to 1913, she began attending the studios of the Cubist painters Henri Le Fauconnier and Jean Metzinger. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePopova traveled widely to investigate and learn from diverse styles of painting, but it was the ancient Russian icons, the paintings of Giotto, and the works of the 15th- and 16th-century Italian painters which interested her the most. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1909 she traveled to Kiev, then in 1910 to Pskov and Novgorod. The following year she visited other ancient Russian cities, including St. Petersburg, to study icons. In 1912 she worked in a Moscow studio known as \"The Tower\" with Ivan Aksenov and Vladimir Tatlin, and also visited Sergei Shchukin's collection of modern French paintings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1912–1913 she studied art with Nadezhda Udaltsova in Paris, where she met Alexander Archipenko and Ossip Zadkine in 1913. After returning to Russia that same year, she worked with Tatlin, Udaltsova and the Vesnin brothers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1914 she traveled in France and Italy at the development of Cubism and Futurism. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePopova was one of the first female pioneers in Cubo-Futurism. Through a synthesis of styles she worked towards what she termed painterly architectonics. After first exploring Impressionism, by 1913, in Composition with Figures, she was experimenting with the particularly Russian development of Cubo-Futurism: a fusion of two equal influences from France and Italy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 1914–1915 her Moscow home became the meeting-place for artists and writers. In 1914–1916 Popova together with other avant-garde artists (Aleksandra Ekster, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Olga Rozanova) contributed to the two Knave of Diamonds exhibitions, in Petrograd Tramway V and the 0.10, The Store in Moscow. An analysis of Popova's cubo-futurist work also suggests an affinity with the work of Fernand Leger, whose geometry of tubular and conical forms in his series of paintings from 1913–1914 is similar to that in Popova's paintings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer painting The Violin of 1914 suggests the development from Cubism towards the \"painterly architectonics\" series of 1916–1918. This series defined her distinct artistic trajectory in abstract form. The canvas surface is an energy field of overlapping and intersecting angular planes in a constant state of potential release of energy. At the same time the elements are held in a balanced and proportioned whole as if linking the compositions of the classical past to the future. Color is used as the iconic focus; the strong primary color at the center drawing the outer shapes together. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1916 she joined the Supremus group with Kazimir Malevich, the founder of Suprematism, Aleksandra Ekster, Ivan Kliun, Nadezhda Udaltsova, Olga Rozanova, Ivan Puni, Nina Genke, Ksenia Boguslavskaya and others who at this time worked in Verbovka Village Folk Centre. The creation of a new kind of painting was part of the revolutionary urge of the Russian avant-garde to remake the world. The term 'supreme' refers to a 'non-objective' or abstract world beyond that of everyday reality.However, there was a tension between those who, like Malevich, saw art as a spiritual quest, and others who responded to the need for the artist to create a new physical world. Popova embraced both of these ideals but eventually identified herself entirely with the aims of the Revolution working in poster, book design, fabric and theatre design, as well as teaching. At 0.10 she had exhibited a number of figurative painted cardboard reliefs in a cubist derived style. In 1916 she began to paint completely abstract Suprematist compositions, but the title \"Painterly Architectonics\" (which she gave to many of her paintings) suggests that, even as a Suprematist, Popova was more interested in painting as a projection of material reality than as the personal expression of a metaphysical reality. Popova's superimposed planes and strong color have the objective presence of actual space and materials. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1918 Popova married the art historian Boris von Eding, and gave birth to a son. Von Eding died the following year of typhoid fever. Popova was also seriously ill but recovered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Work of Man Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42347528126692,"sku":"AW411","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/2630\/1156\/files\/lowresIMG_82421000_eff53983-828d-436e-9b82-ecb475b34bd7.jpg?v=1751207306"},{"product_id":"aw656-circa-1937-russian-avant-garde-oil-on-canvas-painting-of-construction-workers","title":"AW656: Circa 1937 Russian Avant Garde Oil on Canvas Painting of Construction Workers V.
