The book is dedicated to Marianna Vladimirovna Verevkina, a student of I.E. Repin, an associate of V.V. Kandinsky and A.G. Yavlensky. This well-educated woman dedicated her life to art. The active social life of M.V. Verevkina in Munich made her salon on Giselashtrass a center of free thought. Her painting has undergone categorical changes. The artist abandoned realism and began to create paintings of a new, expressionistic sense. Participation in the formation of art of the "New Munich Association of Artists" gave M.V. Verevkina the opportunity to exhibit works of contemporary art.
