| Zinaida Serabriakova "Self-Portrait with Children in the Mirror" 1917 Private Collection |
Serabriakova came from an illustrious art family but suffered much upheaval in her life, including the early loss of her husband, banishment to another country and concomitant separation from her beloved children. I am amazed nobody has turned this woman's life into a movie yet.. she was really something and lived through a lot of world changes. To see my earlier post on this artist click here or just click on her name in the side bar.

That's a fairly amazing painting. Deceptive at first; looks like a simple illustration but contains lots of complexity.
How tender are her depictions of her children.
It's strange and poignant to see this painting and know what happened afterwords.
Yeah, like a premonition of the separation!
