The exhibition project “In the Eye of the Storm. Modernism in Ukraine” is now in Vienna!
On February 23, the Belvedere Museum will open an exhibition presenting the rich palette of Ukrainian modernism. Vienna is the fourth European location for this exhibition. This time, however, the exhibition also includes works of Art Nouveau, the period when the search for a national style in art began. Therefore, European viewers will be able to see works by Vsevolod Maksymovych, Vasyl and Fedir Krychevskyi, Oleksandr Murashko, Heorhii Narbut, Mykhailo Zhuk, Abram Manevych, Olena Kulchytska, and others. The exhibition reveals the importance of the major cultural centers that determined the nature of artistic life in Ukraine in the first third of the twentieth century – Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa – and Lviv and Poltava have been added to the Vienna exhibition.
