Modernism in Ukraine. Vanguard
“National in form, international in content:”*, modernism in Ukraine is represented by a galaxy of world-renowned cosmopolitan artists and artistic revolutionaries.
The combination of European modernism with the traditions of folk art gave impetus to the development of the brightest direction of Ukrainian modernism. The world heard about it in 1973 thanks to the introduction of the term "Ukrainian avant-garde" by the French art critic Andrei Nakov.
After 46 years, the development of technology has enabled us to collect a digital collection of the Ukrainian avant-garde from the museums of Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Lviv. The collection includes paintings, graphics and sculpture of avant-gardists of the Ukrainian origin. This is the largest digitally available collection of works by Ukrainian avant-gardists.
The collection of avant-garde set design deserves special attention.
