The memoirs of the artist Tatiana Mikhailovna Verkhovskaya (known as Tatiana Hirshfeld in 1895-1980 due to marriage) are now being published for the first time. Like Robert Falk, she graduated from the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, having studied under Konstantin Korovin. In 1939, she joined the Artists’ Union of the USSR and later became famous, largely for her work on theatrical sets and costumes for many venues, including the private Korsh Theatre, the Moscow Satire Theatre, the Moscow Operetta, and the Bolshoi Theatre.
