- Marie Bashkirtseff (Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva, Russian: Мария Константиновна Башки́рцева; 1858-1884) was a Russian diarist, painter, and sculptor.
Bashkirtseff was born Maria Konstantinovna Bashkirtseva in Gavrontsi near Poltava (now Ukraine) to a wealthy noble family, but her parents separated when she was quite young. As a result, she grew up mostly abroad, travelling with her mother throughout most of Europe, with longer spells in Germany and on the Riviera, until the family settled in Paris. Educated privately and with early musical talent, she lost her chance at a career as a singer when illness destroyed her voice. She then determined to become an artist, and she studied painting in France at the Robert-Fleury studio and at the Académie Julian. The Académie, as one of the few establishments that accepted female students, attracted young women from all over Europe and the United States. Fellow students at the Académie included Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowiczowa and especially Louise Breslau, whom Bashkirtseff viewed as her only real rival. Bashkirtseff would go on to produce a remarkable, if fairly conventional, a body of work in her short lifetime, exhibiting at the Paris Salon as early as 1880 and every year thereafter until her death (except 1883). In 1884, she exhibited a portrait of Paris slum children entitled The Meeting and a pastel portrait of her cousin, for which she received an honourable mention.
Bashkirtseff's best-known works are The Meeting (now in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris) and In the Studio, (shown here) a portrait of her fellow artists at work. Although a large number of Bashkirtseff's works were destroyed by the Nazis during World War II, at least 60 survive. In 2000, a U.S. touring exhibition entitled "Overcoming All the Obstacles: The Women of Academy Julian" featured works by Bashkirtseff and her schoolmates.
As a painter, Bashkirtseff took her cue from her friend Jules Bastien-Lepage's admiration for realism and naturalism. Where Bastien-Lepage had found his inspiration in nature, Bashkirtseff turned to the urban scene, writing, "I say nothing of the fields because Bastien-Lepage reigns over them as a sovereign; but the streets, however, have not yet had their... Bastien." By unlucky chance, both artists succumbed prematurely to chronic illness in the same year, and the later pages of Bashkirtseff's journal record her visits to the dying painter.
Dying of tuberculosis at the age of 25, Bashkirtseff lived just long enough to emerge as an intellectual in Paris in the 1880s. She wrote several articles for Hubertine Auclert's feminist newspaper La Citoyenne in 1881 under the nom de plume "Pauline Orrel." One of her most-quoted sayings is "Let us love dogs, let us love only dogs! Men and cats are unworthy creatures."
Bashkirtseff died in Paris in 1884, and she is buried in Cimetière de Passy, Paris. Her great friend Prince Bojidar Karageorgevitch was present at her deathbed. Her monument is a full-sized artist's studio that has been declared a historic monument by the government of France. Marie Bashkirtseff was included in the 2018 exhibit Women in Paris 1850-1900”

Marie was so very good at capturing the essence of the individual. Enjoyed thank you.
Amazing. What a very sad end to a talented young woman. A great loss to art. Once again an interesting video with an insight into her short life.
Simply marvelous. What a talent!
Almost the same tragic young death as that of Isaac Levitan. You absolutely posted the best artists unknown in the mainstream world. Thank you and God bless!
Thanks for the video and your pace is on point, you don't rush in but take time in each detail
Thanks so much for message. I'm really glad you liked the pacing of the videos. You are the first person to message me about that aspect. It was something I really spent a lot of time working on. I tried so many different speeds and delays on each image before I found a pace that I was happy with. I was really unsure how people would react as it's so different to the other similar channels that show art work. The others are much faster. I made these videos for myself and tried to ignore what other channels did and stay true to what I t was best. I made the videos for me to watch and study and to get inspired for my own painting. So I'm really pleased that someone has noticed that my videos are a little different to the other ones on UA-cam. It's always a risk doing things differently to what people are used to but I thought even if one other person enjoyed them as I do then I will be happy
Thanks again for reaching out to me. Lovely to talk to you. Glenn
