Me You Too" and the documentary book "Picture Girls."
In the new book "Picture Girls. Muses and artists: from Velasquez to Anatoly Zverev" Anna Matveeva continues to tell about the fate of sitters and muses of famous artists and the artists themselves. The heroes of the book are Diego Velasquez and Marguerite Teresa, Jacques-Louis David and Juliette Recamier, Ivan Aivazovsky and Anna Burnazyan, Ivan Kramskoy and Neizvestnaya, John Singer Sargent and Virginie-Amelie Gautreau, Edvard Munch and Dagny Juhl-Przybyszewska, Boris Kustodiev and Julia Proshinskaia, Arkady Plastov and Natalia von Wieck, Fernand Léger and Nadia Khodasevich, Anatoly Zverev and Ksenia Aseeva. "This book is the second installment of my free exploration of art history, a collection of essays on the sitters of prominent artists and, of course, on the artists themselves, among them Plastov and Aivazovsky, David and Sargent, Munch and Léger. The theme of the relationship between a model and a master is inexhaustible, one can talk about it forever... The new book contains ten stories. But the questions I asked myself during my work remain unchanged. Who was the woman we see in a familiar painting? What was she like? Would an artist have been able to become a master without her?" (Anna Matveeva).
