Varvara stepanova (Artist from contextual studies)

 Varvara Stepanova was an influential avant-garde movement, and referred to herself as a constructivist, she was widely influenced by cubist art and futurist art movements, and spent most of her time dedicated to creating change in society thought her art. She work in several fields some of them being photography, painting and textiles to name a few, she worked on all sorts of things from book covers to posters and even costumes for theatre groups.
I’m looking at strpanovas work because it has been mentioned in my contextual studies, and is the person I will probably right my essay on because I find their work interesting, with having influences from cubism which is an art movement that I like, as well as that she is an interesting artist, who was part of a group of female artists in Russia who were called the amazons, and she also has ties with other influential artists of the time, so I feel it well be an interesting essay to right because of this, and because she has some grate work.
