1913, Natalia Goncharova, Linen -- Tate Modern (London)
From the museum label: This painting conveys the bustle of a commercial laundry. The two sides of the work are divided between traditionally male (shirts, collars and cuffs) and female (lace, blouses and aprons) items. This suggests an intimate relationship between two people. The text interspersed within the composition reflects Goncharova's collaboration with transnational poets on the designs and illustration of artists books. These books brought together images and text with nonlinear styles that produced new, unexpected meanings.
