RUSSIAN -born (1881-1962) artist NATALIA GONCHAROVA participated in numerous important exhibitions of new art in MOSCOW , including Jack of Diamonds (1910), The Donkey’s Tail (1912), and The Target (1913). While her early works were painted in Primitivist and Cubist styles , she adopted a Cubo-Futurist and Rayist approach around 1912 . Goncharova was represented at the second Blaue Reiter exhibition at Galerie Hans Goltz, Munich, in 1912 and the Erste deutsche Herbstsalon at the Der Sturm gallery in BERLIN in 1913 . Around this time, Goncharova and Larionov began their collaboration with Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes , which lasted until the impresario’s death in 1929 . In 1917 , they settled permanently in PARIS , and the following year their work appeared in the exhibition L’Art Décoratif Théâtral Moderne at the Galerie Sauvage in PARIS .
Goncharova showed extensively during the 1920s and 1930s , often with Larionov , in EUROPE, THE UNITED STATES and JAPAN . Although she never abandoned painting, much of her creative energy was directed toward stage decoration and book illustration . She designed costumes, settings, and drop curtains for international presentations of modern and classical ballets until she was in her 70s .
In 1938 , Goncharova became a French citizen and in 1955 she married Larionov . The following year she was given a retrospective at the Galerie de l’Institut in PARIS.
Goncharova died October 17, 1962 , in her adopted home: PARIS .
