The Right to Creativity: The Fates of Women Artists of the Russian Empire
14.99 €
How many great Russian women artists do we know? Sofia Sukhovo-Kobylina, Elena Polenova, Olga Rozanova, Varvara Bubnova, and many other talented women were in no way inferior to their contemporaries—Ilya Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Konstantin Korovin, Isaac Levitan. How did it happen that these outstanding artists did not receive the fame they deserved? What was their path to great art, what inspired them, and what hindered their creative advancement? How were their fates intertwined with this turbulent era?

Nadezhda Demkina, a St. Petersburg artist and journalist in love with her city and art in all its forms, wrote a book about this. This is a collection of biographical stories by seventeen heroines: they did everything they could to ensure that today millions of other women, young women, and girls could pursue art.
