Elizaveta Sergeyevna Kruglikova

Elizaveta Sergeyevna Kruglikova (Russian: Елизавета Сергеевна Кругликова) was a Russian-Soviet artist, celebrated for her distinctive contributions to etching, silhouette art, and monotyping. Born into a St. Petersburg family with a deep appreciation for art, Kruglikova's talent blossomed early, supported by the artistic atmosphere at home. She honed her skills at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture before moving to Paris, where she immersed herself in the city's vibrant art scene. From 1902, she experimented with etching, eventually becoming a notable figure in this field​​.

Kruglikova's Parisian period was marked by her work at the Académie de La Palette, where she both studied and taught, making significant contributions to the art of etching. Her return to Russia at the onset of World War I marked a new phase in her career, as she began exploring the realm of silhouette art, creating evocative portraits and scenes that captured the spirit of her subjects with striking clarity​​.

Perhaps most renowned for her pioneering work in monotype, a printing technique that allowed her unique expressivity, Kruglikova's art straddles the line between printmaking and painting. Her creations, ranging from the depiction of Parisian life to the vibrancy of the Russian cultural milieu, reflect a deep engagement with both her subjects and her mediums. The artist's ability to revive and innovate within traditional etching and printing techniques garnered her recognition and admiration, culminating in the dedication of the Fourth International Festival of Monotypes to her legacy​​.

Her works, characterized by a deep exploration of silhouette and monotype techniques, resonate with collectors and art enthusiasts to this day. Notably, Kruglikova was among the first Russian female artists to establish a studio in Paris, contributing significantly to the art scene there and back in Russia. Her late works include insightful portraits of fellow artists and poets, showcasing her mastery of silhouette style and positioning her as a key figure in the transition between printed graphic art and painting​​.

For collectors and experts in art and antiques, Kruglikova's legacy offers a fascinating glimpse into the innovative spirit of early 20th-century Russian and Soviet art. Her works not only reflect the artistic movements of her time but also stand as testaments to her individual creativity and technical prowess.
