Ukrainian avant-garde

Ukrainian avant-garde is a term widely used to refer the most innovative metamorphosises in Ukrainian art from the end of 1900s to the middle of the 1930s along with associated artists. Broadly speaking, it is Ukrainian art synchronized with the international avant-garde in sculpture, painting, literature, cinema, theater, stage design, graphics, music, architecture. Some Ukrainian avant-garde artists who are fairly well-known include Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Archipenko, Vladimir Tatlin, Sonia Delaunay, Vasyl Yermylov, Alexander Bogomazov, Aleksandra Ekster, David Burliuk, Vadym Meller, Anatol Petrytsky all of them were closely connected to Ukrainian cities Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Odessa by birth, education, language, national traditions or identity.[1][2] One of the earliest uses of the term "Ukrainian Avant-Garde" concerning painting and sculpture during Soviet censorship was in the artistic discussion at Tatlin's dream exhibition, curated by Parisian art historian Andréi Nakov, in London, 1973, which showcased works of Ukrainian artists Vasyl Yermylov and Alexander Bogomazov.[3] The first international avant-garde exhibitions in Ukraine which included French, Italian, Ukrainian and Russian artists took place in Odessa and Kyiv at the Izdebsky Salon; later the pieces were shown in St. Petersburg and Riga.[4][5] The cover of "Izdebsky Salon 2" (1910–11) contained abstract work by Wassily Kandinsky.
