MOMus - [DAY 19] Liubov Popova, “View from my window onto houses”, 1906

MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommends selected works exclusively from its collections and exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". At the same time, MOMus wants to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, and recommends aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspecto.

[DAY 19] Liubov Popova, “View from my window onto houses”, 1906

This youthful drawing depicts the view of houses Liubov Popova saw from her window when she was sixteen. The representation of the buildings seen, as she mentions, ‘from the apartment on Mitninskaya Street alongside the river’ in St. Petersburg, records the young artist’s impressions of the urban landscape of the Russian capital, which Popova visited with her family after they had moved to Moscow from Yalta in 1906. The young painter realizes that the view from the window to the big city offers powerful images that embody the intricacies of human life, images completely different from those of nature.
