Exhibition September 4 − November 22, 2020
State Tretyakov Gallery holds an exhibition“Sarah Lebedeva. Favorites ".

The exposition consisted of the works of the sculptor, which are in the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery, incl. graphic works.

Sarra Dmitrievna Lebedeva (1892–1967) is an outstanding artist and sculptor of the 20th century. Lebedeva's works, along with the works of Vera Mukhina, conveyed to us the spirit of the times and entered the golden fund of the masterpieces of Russian art of the twentieth century. It is to Sarra Lebedeva that we owe the vivid portraits of people who made history - Valery Chkalov, Felix Dzerzhinsky, Vladimir Tatlin, Vera Mukhina, Solomon Mikhoels, heroes of labor and war. She managed to capture something more than the appearance of these people. Her images, especially those of women, reflect the tremulousness of life, the feeling of its transience, and, at the same time, the deep properties of human nature are revealed.
