Zinaida Serebriakova, where have you been all my life?
I just stumbled across the work of Zinaida Serebriakova and I couldn’t help thinking “Why isn’t she crazy famous?” It just goes to show that the History of Art really lacks herstory. You can read Zinaida’s life story on Wikipedia and see a small collection of her work right here.

She is very well known in Russia. I’ve seen many of her originals in Moscow museums and have a few albums with her art. There are so many amazing Eastern European artists who are not quite know in the US. Glad you found her!
