Nadezhda Andreevna Udaltsova

Nadezhda Andreevna Udaltsova (Russian: Наде́жда Андре́евна Удальцо́ва) was a Russian avant-garde artist known for her contributions to Cubism and Suprematism and her participation in the avant-garde movement of pre-revolutionary Russia. Udaltsova was born into an officer's family in Orel, western Russia, on December 29, 1886, and died on January 25, 1961, in Moscow, USSR. Udaltsova was deeply influenced by French Cubism, which she encountered in the art collection of Sergei Shchukin. This encounter was a decisive turning point in her artistic path, leading her to post-impressionism and then to avant-garde art forms.

After the 1917 revolution, her art was recognized by the new regime. Udaltsova played a significant role in education, as a professor and senior lecturer at VKhUTEMAS, the Higher Art and Technical Workshops, and a member of the Institute of Artistic Culture (Inhuk). Despite hardships, including the NKVD's execution of her husband Alexander Drevin in 1938, and becoming persona non grata in Soviet art circles, she continued her artistic endeavors, holding a solo exhibition in 1945 and participating in a group exhibition in 1958.

Udaltsova's legacy is remarkable not only for her artistic achievements, but also for the challenges she overcame. Her work is in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), attesting to her indelible impact on the art world.
