Comment(s): Marie Bronislava Vorobyeva-Stebelska, also known as Marevna, is known for combining elements of cubism (called by her "dimensionalism") with pointillism. Though she lived the greater part of her life abroad – her formative years as a cubist painter in France and her mature years in England – she is often referred to as a "Russian painter". Reputedly the nickname Marevna was given to her by Maxim Gorky, after a Russian fairy sea princess. Image copyright © The Estate of Marie Vorobieff. [29922-3-2400]
