MARIA YAKUNCHIKOVA (1870-1902)

WOMEN WITH A PASSION FOR ART

The first female artist I  want to introduce in the series Women with a Passion for Art is Maria Yakunchikova. After seeing one of her paintings called Reflection of an Intimate World I immediately fell in love with it.  Therefore I like to share some of her paintings with you. Enjoy!

Maria Vasilievna Yakunchikova-Weber was a Russian painter, graphic artist, and embroiderer. Yakunchikova was associated with the Abramtsevo artists, especially with her teacher Elena Polenova. Polenova ,whose revival of traditional handicrafts inspired Maria to embroider and to execute pokerwork.

Between 1887 and 1889 she began to collect folk art. Landscape art remained her favourite genre. She was  inspired to plein air painting by Elena Polenova.

HENRI MATISSE ~ LIVING ON BORROWED TIME

in Quoting the Artist ~ Thoughts and Thinking... by


“I didn’t expect to recover from my second operation but since I did, I consider that I’m living on borrowed time. Every day that dawns is a gift to me and I take it in that way. I accept it gratefully without looking beyond it. I completely forget my physical suffering and all the unpleasantness of my present condition and I think only of the joy of seeing the sun rise once more and of being able to work a little bit, even under difficult conditions.”
― Henri Matisse
