Lydia Schulgina
Lydia Schulgina ( Russian Лидия Михайловна Шульгина , Lidija Michailowna Schulgina ; born July 3, 1957 in Moscow , † December 27, 2000 in Pinneberg ) was a Russian and German artist, sculptor and book illustrator.
Life
Lydia Schulgina was born into the family of translators and philologists Michael Friedmann and Nina Schulgina.
She attended an art school; later she studied book illustration at the Moscow Polygraphic Institute, where she graduated in 1979. Her diploma thesis at the university was awarded and published. Since then, over 30 books with her illustrations have been published - in Russia, Japan, Poland, the former Czechoslovakia and Finland.
In 1992, in Moscow, a book she designed was awarded the "Best Book of the Year" prize.
From 1985 onwards she devoted herself increasingly to painting without giving up illustrating. Lydia Schulgina exhibited her works in Russia, Germany, Finland, Norway, Italy and other countries. She has received grants from the Russian Artists' Association four times.
In 1996 the artist moved to Germany and from then on lived in Pinneberg . In Germany she further developed the technology she had already invented in Russia, which enabled her to create sometimes life-size sculptures made of newsprint. She first worked in a studio in the Landdrostei Pinneberg , but two years later she founded the art floor of the youth center in Rellingen .
Lydia Schulgina died in Pinneberg in 2000.
