Society and Culture: Exhibition “Varvara Bubnova. Russian Avant-garde and Japanese Traditions” to open in Moscow

On August 9, the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum (Moscow) is staging an exhibition of unique works by Varvara Bubnova. She emigrated to Japan and painted them between the 1920s and the 1960s.

Japan and Abkhazia, St. Petersburg and Sukhumi – at the end of her life Varvara Bubnova (1886–1983) was the oldest artist in our country, who descended from the famous Wulf family – Alexander Pushkin’s friends, and the only remaining representative of the Russian avant-garde. 

The exhibition features works of Varvara Bubnova from a private collection – landscapes, portraits, self-portraits and genre scenes, which span the Japanese period.
