This display brings together photographic works made in 1982 by Kettle’s Yard collection artist Mari Mahr (b. 1941, Chile).
The series focuses on the Russian artist and author Lili Brik (née Lilya Yuryevna Kagan, 1891-1978) who was part of the literary and artistic avant-garde in Russia from 1914, and to whom the revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky dedicated many of his works.
