Olga Maksimilianovna Manuilova (Russian: Ольга Максимилиановна Мануйлова; 17 October 1893 – 26 January 1984) was a Soviet sculptor who worked in Kyrgyzstan.
Olga Manuilova was born on 17 October 1893 in Nizhny Novgorod.[1]
In 1912, she studied sculpture at the Munich studios of Franz Hofstötter and Hans Schwegerle.[2] She went on to attend the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, studying under Sergei Volnukhin, Konstantin Korovin, Leonid Pasternak, and Nikolay Kasatkin.[1]
Invited in 1939 to work on a monument to Toktogul Satylganov in Bishkek, she spent the rest of her life in Kyrgyzstan.[2] Her works of sculpture in cement and granite include monuments to General Ivan Panfilov (1942), Togolok Moldo (1963) and cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov (1969). Other work includes the bas-relief Soviet Constitution on the House of the Procurator (1941) and decorative groups in the Kirghiz Theater of Opera and Ballet (1952-55).[1] Her bronze bust of Paul Robeson was placed atop Peak Robeson in the Trans-Ili Alatau range.[3]
Olga Manuilova was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour and People’s Artist of the Kyrgyz SSR.[4] She was the subject of the documentary film Sculptor Olga Manuilova (1982), directed by Tolomush Okeyev.[5]
The asteroid 3186 Manuilova is named for her.[6]
