  • Tatiana Alexinsky-Loukina arrived in Istanbul with her husband in 1920. While living in Istanbul, she actively participated in exhibitions of the Union of Russian Painters in Constantinople (including First Russian émigré artists in Istanbul exhibition and Exhibition of Russian émigré artists at Taksim Military Barracks). According to newspaper reports, she was in the Union from the very beginning (that is, starting from the first exhibition) to the very end, since her name is mentioned in the list of participants in the Union’s last exhibition in 1923. In Istanbul, she mainly worked on portraits. The most successful of her works at that time were the portraits of the émigré writer Arkady Averchenko and of her husband, Ivan Alexinsky. It is worth pointing out that her husband was not only a professor of medicine, but also a confidant of Pyotr Wrangel. Most likely she moved to France after the collapse of the Union. There she worked mainly on portraits, still lifes and genre paintings. In the 1930s, these works were shown at various exhibitions in Paris. Moreover, she had a solo exhibition in 1938, which showed a series of sketches. It is also known that she wrote articles about Russian émigré artists for Russian periodicals abroad. Unfortunately, there is no information about how her life ended.
