Elizabeth
Sergeevna Potekhina

Information about the artist Elizabeth Potekhina quite a bit, not discovered and her work.

It is known that "Elizabeth S. Potekhina, who became the first wife of Falk she was also a painter and studied at the Moscow School. She had come from an old noble family. The parents and with the other hand did not approve of the marriage of Falk and Elizabeth Sergeevny, however, young people were married against their will. Before the wedding, Falk was baptized and transferred to the Orthodox faith. In the years 1900-1910 Falk and Elizabeth S. taught drawing in the schools their parents are not financially supported".

The question arises, how did the work of Elizabeth Sergeevny "Night landscape" appeared in the exhibition "scarlet rose"?

Because of Potekhina not dealt with Kuznetsovsk circle and her name is not mentioned among the participants of "goluborozovskoy movement."

We can assume that the "Night landscape" was exhibited at the exhibition thanks to Petr Utkin. From the memoirs of the wife Utkina became known that at one time Peter Savvich was in love with Elizaveta Sergeevna Perhaps it is this romantic story explains the appearance at the exhibition of works of the artist. From the catalog it is known that the work of Utkin "Song of the night" was the opening of the exhibition in the ownership of E. S. P. - (as listed in the catalog). Most likely, meant Elizaveta Sergeevna ul.
