Developing the innovative style of Cubo-Futurism from a synthesis of the splintered refractions found in French Cubism, and the force-lines, repetition, and rich colors of Italian Futurism, the Russian artist, Lyubov Sergeyevna Popova, is celebrated as one of the most distinctly individual artists of the Russian avant-garde, who excelled as a painter, graphic artist, theatrical set designer, textile designer, teacher and art theorist.
