Lyubov Popova

Russian artist (1889-1924)

Lyubov Popova is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Lyubov Popova as Russian artist (1889-1924).

Lyubov Popova was born at Krasnovidovo in 1889. Her recorded nationality is Russia. She trained at Académie de La Palette.

Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.

She worked as painter, university teacher and graphic artist.

Her recorded movement is constructivism and futurism.

A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.

That the work was made in Russia shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.

Lyubov Popova died in 1924, aged 35. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
