Summary:
Vladimir Vasilievich Lebedev *Female Soldier with Garter Belt, gouache and crayon on Paper

The name of the Russian Soviet artist Vladimir Vasil’evich Lebedev (1891–1967) is world-renowned. Lebedev was one of the most versatile artists of the Russian avant-garde. He was the author of ingenious graphic works, an experimental painter, a discoverer of new approaches in poster creation, and a master of theater decoration. The flowering of his creative activities took place during the most brilliant period in the history of Soviet art—the 1920s. This time of revolutionary transformation in Russian society coincided with the moment of the blossoming in art of the Russian avant-garde, when the search for a new figurative language took place.
