Biography: Xenia Leonidovna Boguslavskaya-Pugny was a Russian avant-garde painter, illustrator and theater designer. She studied drawing from 1909 to 1910 at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, then moved to Paris in 1912, where she attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the Académie Vassilieff. In 1913, she returned to Russia, where she married Jean Pougny, also a painter. From then on, their apartment became a meeting place for St. Petersburg's literary and artistic avant-garde. In 1915, Bogouslavskaya helped found the avant-garde artists' group Supremus, led by Kasimir Malevich, and took part in its first Futurist exhibition in Moscow from November 1915 to January 1916. After the Russian Revolution, the couple moved to Berlin, before settling in Paris in 1923. At the same time, to earn money, she painted fabrics and designed patterns for the famous couturier Paul Poiret. She continued to exhibit regularly in France, notably at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
