life and work

Sinaida Evgenjewna Lansere was born into a bourgeois family of artists, a grandfather, Nikolai Leontjewitsch Benois , was an architect, her mother's brother, Alexander Nikolajewitsch Benois , was a painter and co-founder of the artist group Mir Iskusstwa . Her father Yevgeny Alexandrovich Lansere was a sculptor. The brother Nikolai Evgenjewitsch Lansere became known as an architect, another, Evgeny Evgenjewitsch Lansere , as a Soviet monumental painter. A younger relative was the actor Peter Ustinov .

After graduating from high school, she attended private art schools and the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg from 1900 and had Ilya Repin and Ossip Bras as teachers. She traveled to Italy and attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris in 1906 .

In 1905 she married the engineer Boris Serebryakov (1882-1919), a cousin. They had four children, Evgeny, Tatiana, Alexander and Ekaterina.

In 1910 she caused a sensation with her reflection on the dressing table in an exhibition by the group “Mir Iskusstwa”. The picture was immediately purchased by the Tretyakov Gallery . She was accepted into the painters' group in 1911, but with her style of painting she was more of an outsider. Her husband died of typhus in 1919 , and the family dispossessed as a result of the October Revolution had to survive. Sinaida Serebryakova had worked for the Archaeological Museum in Kharkiv and the Chekhov Art Theater in Moscow and painted some pastels for her daughter Tatiana while this ballet student was at the Mariinsky Theater when she received a painting commission in Paris in 1924. She remained in emigration and was able to bring her two younger children, Alexander (1907–1994) and Jekaterina (1913–2014), while the older children stayed in the Soviet Union.

She received French citizenship during World War II. After the XX. At the CPSU party congress , Serebryakova's work was shown again in Moscow in 1960 and also in Leningrad and Kiev in 1966 , and were very well received there, as she was already too ill to travel to the Soviet Union at the time.

She died in 1967 and is buried in the Russian cemetery of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois . Part of their estate went to the Soviet Union.
