National Art Museum of Ukraine presents exhibition “Vasyl Krychevsky. Between Avant-Garde and Tradition” which will open on October 4, 2013. The last exhibition of Vasyl Hryhorovych Krychevsky in Ukraine took place in 1940 and presented 1050 work by this great master. It was the last exhibition with the artist at his homeland. World War II, departure from Ukraine and emigration caused an enormous damage to Krychevsky’s artistic heritage. Only about 300 works by Krychevsky can be traced today. The exhibition at the National Art Museum of Ukraine presents 70 works (oil paintings and drawings) most of which were not exhibited before. Among them recently found and restored painting “Night. Khan Palace of Bakhchisarai” from 1901. Krychevsky symbolizes development of the national art over more than 50 years period. Moreover thanks to Krychevsky, Ukrainian art changed and evolved. The exhibition will continue through November 10, 2013. Museum address Hrushevsky Street 6, Kyiv. For more information visit http://namu.kiev.ua
