An exhibition of stage and costume designs by the Russian avant-garde artists Natal'ya Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov.
Drawn from the Gallery's collection, Goncharova and Larionov: L'Art Décoratif Théâtral Moderne is an exhibition of stage and costume designs published in Paris in 1919 by the Russian avant-garde artists Natal'ya Goncharova (1881–1962) and Mikhail Larionov (1881–1964).
Theatre set and costume designs, including designs for Serge Diaghilev's famous Ballets Russes, were central to the practice of both artists during the early twentieth century. Featuring pochoir (stencil) prints and lithographs, the abstracted, angular forms illustrate the artists' involvement with rayonism, cubism and futurism in Paris during the 1910s.

In 2019, the Tate Modern staged a solo exhibition of the work of Russian artist Natalia Goncharova. It was the first time the artist had had a major retrospective in the UK, and the exhibition included her paintings, prints, costume designs and textiles. The exhibition presented reviewers with a twinned challenge: how to talk about an artist who was so little known in the UK, and one who was a woman?
