GONCHAROVA

Goncharova is now recognised as one of the leading Russian artists of the Twentieth Century. This book traces the development of her art from its impressionist origins, through a provocative phase of 'primitive' style paintings on peasant themes to highly innovati ve abstract works that rivalled the most daring experiments of the Cubists and Futurists. As a woman artist she was galvanized by ge nder issues and addressed these directly in her work.
