Lidia Alekseevna Masterkova was born in Moscow on March 8, 1927. From 1943 to 1946 she studied at an art school, where such disgraced stars of Art Nouveau as Robert Falk, Mikhail Perutsky and Moses Khazanov taught. These lessons had a huge impact on the formation of Masterkova's artistic taste.
In the mid-1950s she joined the Lianozovo Group. The name "Lianozovo" was given to the creative group by the supervisory authorities that carried out surveillance of young people. Each of the artists of the Lianozovo group tried to “grope” for a current of modernism that was close to itself. Masterkova found her own style relatively quickly. This is a lyrical, very personal, full of mysticism style related to abstract expressionism. Masterkova lived for 14 years in a fruitful union with Vladimir Nemukhin.
