Biography
Maria Leonidovna Rudnitskaya was born June 17, 1916, in the city of Ekaterinoslav, Ukraine, Russian Empire, in family of railway engineers. In the years 1916 to 1927, Maria, alongside her parents, lived in Siberia for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
In 1932, after graduating, Maria Rudnitskaya came to Leningrad. In 1935, Maria Rudnitskaya entered the Tavricheskaya Art School, where she studied with A. Gromov, S. Bootler, V. Levitsky, V. Oreshnikov, and M. Aslamazian.
In 1939, Maria Rudnitskaya graduated from Tavricheskaya Art School. In the same year, she entered the Department of Painting of the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where she studied with Semion Abugov, Boris Fogel, Mikhail Bernshtein, and Igor Grabar.
In 1949, after a long break due to World War II, Maria Rudnitskaya graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture after Ilya Repin in the studio of Victor Oreshnikov, together with Nikolai Babasuk, Rostislav Vovkushevsky, Ivan Godlevsky, Valery Pimenov, Victor Teterin, and other young artists. Her graduation work was a genre painting named "Motherhood".[3]
Since 1949, Maria Rudnitskaya participated in Art Exhibitions. She painted portraits, landscapes, still lives, genre paintings, and sketches done from nature. Maria Rudnitskaya tended to plein-air painting. She has successfully worked in the genre of children's portraits. Her portraits consist of inherent characteristics of precision, delicacy of tonal colouring, which matches her plein-air style. Upon his return to Leningrad, she taught first in the Secondary Art School, and later at the Department of General Painting of the Higher School of Industrial Art named after Vera Mukhina. Maria Rudnitskaya was a member of the Leningrad Union of Artists since 1949.
