About This Item
Tokyo, ナウカ, 昭和11 [1936].
Cover design for this Turgenev's novel was created by the Russian-born painter and graphic artist Varvara Bubnova (1886-1983). Her mother distantly related to the prominent poet Alexander Pushkin.
Varvara studied in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under Nikolay Dubovskoy. In the early 1910s she became a member of the Youth Union and participated in art exhibitions with Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Kuz'ma Petrov-Vodkin and David Burlyuk. Bubnova also worked for the Institute of Artistic Culture with among others Wassily Kandinsky, Robert Falk, Lyubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova and Alexander Rodchenko.
In 1923 she moved to Japan where she lived until 1958. In Japan Bubnova was mainly painting watercolors and lithographs. She was declared an undesirable alien in Japan in 1936 (Rudin was published in 1936 also) and deported from Tokyo.
Bubnova's library and drawings burned after the attacks on Tokyo during the WWII. In 1959 she returned to the USSR.
She was awarded the Japanese Order of the Precious Crown by the Japanese Emperor in 1982.
