Margarita Woloschin (1882-1973, nee Sabashnikova) was born in Moscow and grew up in a well-to-do family with broad cultural links. She studied art in St Petersburg and Paris. From an early age she wanted to find out more about spirituality, and in 1905 met Rudolf Steiner for the first time. In St Petersburg she was part of the Symbolism art movement. In 1906 she married the poet and artist, Maximilian Voloshin. From 1908 she followed Rudolf Steiner on his lecture tours across Europe, and in 1914 she went to Dornach, Switzerland, where she worked the building of the first Goetheanum. In 1917 she returned to her native country, now in the midst of a revolution. From 1924 until her death in 1973 she lived in Stuttgart, Germany, where she was at her most creative artistically, painting portraits as well as altar pictures.
