A lecture on female artists of the 1970s changes the usual view of Soviet art: instead of the "male" myth of nonconformism - Tatyana Nazarenko, Natalia Nesterova, Olga Bulgakova, and their precise intonation. The conversation will help to see how lyricism, irony, and psychological sharpness became a way to speak the truth. Sometimes the history of art remembers an era through loud names, convenient schemes, and stable myths. The Soviet 1970s are often described as a time of male nonconformism, workshop conversations, hidden resistance, and clashes with the official system. But alongside this narrative, there existed another - more subtle, nervous, and attentive to private life. This is the narrative revealed by the meeting with art historian Larisa Yakimova. The conversation will focus on female artists who worked during the late USSR and changed the language of painting in their own way. Tatyana Nazarenko turned communal everyday life into an almost theatrical stage, where everyday details began to sound alarming and grotesque. Natalia Nesterova introduced masquerade, play, and fatigue hidden behind bright costumes into her paintings. Olga Bulgakova addressed industrial landscapes, solitude, and inner states, finding her own poetics within them.
