Nadia Léger
Nadia Léger (1904-1982) was a Russian painter known for her fervent communist beliefs and her close ties to Soviet political figures. Born near Vitebsk, she studied under Kazimir Malevich and became a prominent artist in Paris, where she married fellow painter Fernand Léger. Throughout her life, Nadia navigated the complexities of her political convictions and personal tragedies, including the execution of her brother during Stalin's purges. Her work evolved through various artistic movements, including suprematism and constructivism, yet she maintained a significant connection to Soviet ideology. Despite her artistic contributions, especially in the context of socialist realism, her work has often been overshadowed by that of her husband. A recent exhibition at the Musée Maillol in Paris aims to bring her legacy to light.
