Elizaveta Grigoryevna Dorfman, (ru: Елизавета Григорьевна Дорфман) or Gerševna (c.1899 - c.1942) was a Jewish Russian artist[1] possibly from Saint Petersburg.[2]
Life[edit]
Most sources give Dorfman's birth year as 1899,[1] but her World War II refugee registration card gives her birth year as 1898.[3]
She provided a cover illustration for Sounding Shell (1921 or 1922), a collection of poetry by the circle surrounding Nikolai Gumilev.[4][5] She also designed a poster for the 1922 film Blood and Sand.[6][2]
In the late 1930s, Dorfman was living in Sochi. World War II forced her into exile as a Jewish refugee in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[3] She died there, in 1941[1] or 1942 during the Blockade of Leningrad.[2]
