Life

Anna Semjonovna Golubkina comes from an old Orthodox peasant family in Sarayisk. Her father died when she was only two years old. She then grew up with her grandfather, Polikarp Sidorowitsch Golubkin, a wealthy farmer and probably also the leader of the local Philippine community . Anna and her siblings were the first in the family to receive a comprehensive education. Golubkina received her first drawing lessons from a local painter, who urged her to continue studying in Moscow .

Anna Semyonovna Golubkina: The Fog , 1899

In 1889 she took the entrance exam for the Otto Gunst master class for elegant art , an architecture school . One of the examiners was the sculptor Sergei Wolnuchin, who immediately recognized her talent and offered her a scholarship. The following year the school was closed due to bankruptcy . Between 1890 and 1894 Golubkina studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture under Professor Sergei Ivanov. One of her classmates was the later famous sculptor Sergei T. Konjonkov . From 1894 to 1895 she studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts (also St. Petersburg Academy of Art ) in St. Petersburg in the studio of the famous sculptor Vladimir A. Beklemischew .

In 1895 Golubkina went to France , where she received a two-year art scholarship at the Académie Colarossi in Paris . After passing the exam, she became the assistant to the sculptor and draftsman Auguste Rodin and took the position of Camille Claudel . Relations between Anna and Rodin have been difficult all the time. There were quarrels, mood swings and emotional outbursts. In 1900 she left the joint studio.

The Sleeping One , 1912

In 1901 she returned to Russia . Her relief, The Wave on the facade of the Moscow Art Theater, was a symbol of Russian modernism. In 1905 she took part in the Russian Revolution and was arrested. At the trial she was sentenced to one year in prison for distributing leaflets, but was released a few weeks later due to poor health. In her later works, realistic traits emerged, creating a number of sculptural portraits, including portraits of Andrei Bely , Alexei Michailowitsch Remisow , Lev Nikolajewitsch Tolstoy and Karl Marx . At first, Golubkina was enthusiastic about the October Revolution (1917), but she refused to cooperate with the Bolshevik government.

From 1920 to 1922 she taught at the WChUTEMAS , and among her students was the sculptor Baqi Urmançe . After an operation (1927) she was not allowed to undertake any physical exertion and withdrew. A little later, Anna Semyonovna Golubkina died in her Moscow apartment.
