This is the only lifetime image of the poetess
The only lifetime portrait of the poetess appeared in the exposition of the house-museum of Marina Tsvetaeva. The unique work was painted in oil by the artist Magda Nachman.
As MK found out, the priceless gift was donated to the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum on the eve of a whole series of anniversaries. 2022 marks 130 years since the birth of the poetess, 30 years since the opening of the museum, 110 years since the birth of Ariadne Efron and 160 years since the construction of the house. The portrait of Tsvetaeva was created in the summer of 1913 in Koktebel. The work is unique in that it is the only known oil portrait painted during Tsvetaeva’s lifetime. The author of the work, artist Magda Nakhman, met the poetess, Sergei Efron and his sisters while visiting Maximilian Voloshin.
Nachman is known as a painter, book illustrator, theater artist, student of Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and Lev Bakst. Many of her paintings and drawings have been lost, and the few that have survived are in private collections. The location of Tsvetaeva’s portrait was unknown for a long time. Now it can be seen in the Tsvetaeva House-Museum in Borisoglebsky Lane, 6. The poetess settled here with her husband Sergei Efron and daughter Ariadna in 1914, and emigrated in 1922. Both happy and difficult years of her life passed in this house, it was in these walls that the artistic consciousness of Tsvetaeva as an author was formed, her special style was formed.
