Khan Orlova: Return. Benam Rebecca

The name of the sculptor and artist Khan Orlova (1888–1968) is not in Russia, although it worked a lot and fruitfully and lived a long creative life. She was born and raised in the south of the Russian Empire, in 1905 she fled with the family from pogroms to Palestine, and in 1910 sat on the Yaffo-Marcel steamer to embody her dream-to become independent and live in Paris. Then the khan was hardly assumed that she would become a famous sculptor, make friends with Modigliani and Suetin, her famous contemporaries would pose to her, and museums of many countries will acquire her work. Khan Orlova always carefully protected his personal life, there is no more or less complete biography. Based on the documents and evidence of contemporaries and relatives, the French journalist Rebecca Benam represents his version of the life of a bright and original artist.
