Alena Kish (Шаблон:Lang-be, 1889 or 1896–1949) was a Belarusian primitivist painter from the surroundings of Slutsk.

Life

Kish earned her living by making carpets for local buyers. She gained attention and recognition as an artist at the end of 1970s, three decades after her death. A collection of her surviving works are preserved in the museum of Zaslawye.[1]

Kish was found drowned in the river. It may have been an accident, but she had difficulties in addition to her poor finances. The income from her designs was undermined when manufactured goods arrived in the area. Kish and her work were featured on a stamp[2] and in an exhibition in Minsk in 2013.
