Alexandra Exter (Ukranian-Russian, 1882-1949) was a key member of the
Russian avant-garde and one of the most important painters of the 20th
century. Her illuminated manuscripts, furthermore, virtually ignored until
a few years ago, establsh her as one of the great book artists of all time.
I have just started a facebook group devoted to the work of Alexandra
Exter (facebook is amazing! Already 19 members, less than 24 hours after I
started the group!)
I have already put up 18 pictures from her illuminated manuscripts.
Anyone on facebook may join (for free, of course). Just search for
Alexandra Exter and sign up for the group.
Best
