Anna Aleksandrovna Kogan (1902–1974) was a Soviet artist.[1] She was a modernist who worked in several media, including painting, textiles, ceramics, glass and sculpture.[2]
Biography
[edit]Kogan was born in Vitebsk, Russian Empire in 1902.[3]
From 1919 to 1922 Kogan studied at the Higher Art School of Vitebsk under Kazimir Malevich,[4] where she was one of his favourite students.[2] She was part of the group UNOVIS,[5] which focused on suprematist art and produced projects and publications which influenced the avant-garde in Russia.[6] In 1924 she joined the architectural department of the Institute of Artistic Culture, Leningrad.[2]
Kogan died in Leningrad in 1974.[4]
In 2009, Artnews reported that she was an "enigma to art historians", due to a lack of biographical history and the fact that none of her works appeared in Russian Art Museums.[7]
Her work is included in the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco[8] and the Seattle Art Museum.[9]
