Discover Paraskeva Clark: Life & Work by Christine Boyanoski

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Paraskeva Clark (1898-1986) was profoundly affected by the bleak conditions of her upbringing, the Great Depression, and her personal view of the rise of fascism. Those factors shaped a fierce leftist consciousness, an ideology evident in her powerful, Cubist and Fauvist influenced paintings.
