Russian Venus
Artist: Ilya Mashkov
Circa: 1914
Ilya Mashkov, a key member of the Russian avant-garde and the “Jack of Diamonds” group, was known for his bold use of color and form. Russian Venus combines classical and modern themes: a reclining nude placed within a vivid still life of fruit and flowers, while a mural-like backdrop of horsemen and riders suggests Russian folk and cultural motifs. Painted in 1914, it exemplifies Mashkov’s synthesis of tradition with avant-garde experimentation.
