Olga Sacharoff

Olga Nicolaevna Sacharoff (Russian: Ольга Николаевна Сахарова; May 28, 1889, Tbilisi, Georgia ‒ 1967, Barcelona) was a Spanish artist of Georgian origin associated with naive art and the Surrealist movement.

After studying at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts,[3] she visited Rome and traveled to Munich, where she came in contact with the German Expressionist movement.

In 1939, Perls Galleries in New York City organized a two-person exhibition featuring paintings by Sacharoff and Lloyd, which suggests a possible reconciliation between the couple.

[7] She was awarded the Medalla d'or de Barcelona in 1964, an honor that established her connection to Spain and commemorated her contribution to Catalan culture.

[4] Sacharoff also worked in book illustration: her projects included Colette's House of Claudine and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Netochka Nezvanova.
