N.Goncharova, Self-portrait 1904

4 June 2019 Tate Modern (London) will open a large-scale exhibition of Russian artist Natalia Goncharova. Marina Tzvetaeva, Gonchrova’s first biographer, considered her “the most colour-rich artist. A mastermind of the new painting”. While the art critic Abram Efros called Goncharova “the clamorous spitfire of Futurism”.

Art historian Natalia Budanova will talk about flamboyant art and life of this outstanding woman artist.
