Liubov Popova Objects from a Dyer's Shop 1914

  • MoMA, Floor 5, 503 The Alfred H. Barr, Jr. Galleries

A key member of the Russian avant-garde, Popova worked primarily in Moscow but traveled to Paris in 1912–13 and again briefly in 1914. There, she studied at the Académie de La Palette and discovered Cubism and Futurism, which profoundly impacted her work. With its many planes and still life subject, Objects from a Dyer’s Shop bears the traces of Popova’s exploration of the new visual idioms that gripped artists and critics at the Parisian Salon d’Automne and Salon des Indépendants. The composition features the Moscow newspaper Early Morning, gloves, plumes, colorful textiles, and a tassel.
