Biography

Bogaevskaya was born on 25 October 1915 in Petrograd in a family of scientists, archaeologists, and art historians. She studied at the Art and Industry College, where she was a student of Dmitry Zagoskin (1931–1932). She then continued her education at the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where she was a student of Sergei Priselkov, Genrikh Pavlovsky, David Bernshtein, and Alexander Osmerkin (1933–1940). In 1940 Bogaevskaya graduated from the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the Alexander Osmerkin workshop with the rank of artist of painting. Her degree work was the painting Meting of Girlfriend.[3]

In 1940 Bogaevskaya married a fellow student at the institute, artist Gleb Savinov. In 1940–1941, she taught painting at the Secondary Art School at the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Bogaevskaya was a regular participant of exhibitions of Leningrad artists since the late 1940s. She was a talented colorist. The leading themes of her work were child portraits and still lifes in the interior and exterior. Beginning in 1940, Bogaevskaya was a member of the Leningrad Union of Soviet Artists. Her works of the 1950s and 1960s put her among the leading painters of Leningrad.[4]
