About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Сюжеты Гончаровой о жизни простых людей лишились традиционных для русской живописи социальных оценок. Художница питала интерес к женщине, к ее "от века" повторяющимся занятиям – жатве, сбору урожая, белению холста, стирке белья и т. д. Лишенные пространственной повествовательности, эти "вневременные" сцены с их самоуглубленными, как бы священнодействующими героинями воспринимаются как своеобразный, идущий из древности, торжественный ритуал. Этому ощущению способствуют и сдержанный колорит, и утяжеленность намеренно "упрощенных" форм рук, ног, фигур персонажей. В подобной стилистике исследователи творчества Гончаровой порой усматривают влияние "таитянских" полотен Поля Гогена. Между тем они отражают увлечение художницы русским лубком и архаической пластикой древних скифов – "каменными бабами", которые и в середине ХХ века еще находились в степях южной России.

In the life of Natalia Goncharova
The whole life1906
Russian art at the Salon d'Automne
Goncharova exhibited at the Paris Salon d'Automne, in its Exposition de l'art russe.
1906
Gauguin retrospective and a turn to Fauvism
From 1906 Goncharova devoted herself ever more to painting: in Paris she saw the Paul Gauguin retrospective and took up Fauvism, leaving Impressionism behind, and soon tried Cubism and Primitivism.
1909
Leaves the Moscow School
Goncharova stopped paying her fees and was struck off the rolls of the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. By other accounts she withdrew of her own accord, and in 1910 she, Larionov, Falk, Konchalovsky and Mashkov were expelled from Korovin's portrait class for imitating European Modernism.
1909
First stage work: “The Marriage of Zobeide”
Goncharova designed the sets and costumes for Hugo von Hofmannsthal's “The Marriage of Zobeide” at Konstantin Krakht's private studio; at the same time she decorated sculptural friezes for Moscow mansions and designed wallpaper.
24 March 1910
First solo show and a charge of pornography
At the club of the Society of Free Aesthetics Goncharova showed 22 paintings for a single day; after an anonymous notice in the newspaper “Golos Moskvy” the police seized two “Models” and the painting “God”, and she was charged with pornography.
December 1910 – January 1911
First Jack of Diamonds exhibition
The first show of the Jack of Diamonds — Moscow's first radical independent exhibiting group, named by Larionov — included Goncharova's Primitivist and Cubist paintings.
