ROBERT FALK (1886 - 1958)

Elena Levina
"I love coming into this haven..."

#4 2020 (69)

Elena Borisovna Levina chose as the title for her recollections the line from a poem by Ksenia Nekrasova, “I love coming into this refuge,” since no-one else had so accurately and poetically captured the special atmosphere of the studio where Robert Falk and his wife, Angelina Vasilyevna, lived. Nekrasova was friends with the couple and visited their home often. There, she found refuge and became the life model for one of Falk’s finest portraits.
