Natalia Goncharova (1881–1962) was a Russian avant-garde artist known for her paintings, illustrations, and set designs. She was inspired to pursue art when she met Mikhail Larionov, a fellow artist who became her lifelong partner. While she lived in Moscow she participated in many radical independent exhibitions such as the Jack of Diamonds (1910), The Donkey’s Tail (1912), and The Target (1913). Goncharova later moved to Paris in 1917 and began showing her work internationally. Later in her career her focus shifted towards costume and set design for ballets, though she never fully gave up painting.
