1920, Natalia Goncharova, Three Young Women -- Tate Modern (London)
From the museum label: The rhythmic forms and restricted colour palette of white and ochre indicate Goncharova's experience with stencil making. The naked bodies in the painting are not sexualised. This is in contrast with many compositions of Goncharova's contemporaries, which often objectified women's bodies. In the 1920s Goncharova established her first professional studio in Paris. She developed a successful practice that encompassed teaching, painting, book illustration, fashion, costume and theatre as well as interior design.
