Lupanova E. N.

After receiving her diploma in 1931, Lupanova began her creative journey as an artist in the “Inventor” artel. In 1932, she changed her job and for two years improved her artistic skills in the Household Commune of the Working Youth Theater (TRAM). In 1937, fate connected Elizaveta Nikolaevna with the legendary Leningrad Porcelain Factory (LFZ), where before the start of the Great Patriotic War she was engaged in painting porcelain products. After breaking the siege of Leningrad, in October 1944, Lupanova returned to her work at the LFZ, where until the end of the 1960s she made her contribution to the creation of the golden fund of Soviet porcelain, occasionally trying herself as a sculptor. Being a leading specialist in the art laboratory of the plant, Lupanova became the author of samples of painting genre sculpture by such eminent sculptors as N. Ya. Danko, E. A. Gendelman, I. L. Slonim, G. S. Stolbov, S. B. Velikhov, I. N. Nikonov and others. Elizaveta Nikolaevna took part in all exhibitions of the plant.
