Liubov Popova . . .

'Building the Revolution' also introduced me to the work of Liubov Popova.  As a female she was a rare commodity in the male-dominated world of Soviet art.  Her work fused Cubo-Futurism, Suprematism and Constructivism, for which she gave the term 'Painterly Architectonics'.  Having worked extensively as a painter she extended her practice to include poster, book, theatre and fabric designs.  I find her print designs particularly inspiring . . .
