Author: Bogomazov, Alexander (1880-1930) Title: Tea Kettle. Alexander Bogomazov Exhibition Poster
Description: San Francisco: Modernism, 1983. Poster. 81 x 51cm..When first exhibited publicly, at TEFAF Maastricht in 2015, the Futurist work of Alexander Bogomazov attracted the attention of both critics and museums with the Kröller-Müller Museum from the Netherlands ultimately acquiring six works. Unknown to many, the Russian Avant Garde featured many-Ukrainian born artists, Tatlin, Malevich, Burliuk and Exter among them. Whilst these chose to further their careers either in Moscow or abroad, one artist, Alexander Bogomazov, remained in Kiev, venturing beyond the borders of Ukraine only briefly and never to Europe. Alexander Bogomazov is the unknown genius of the Avant Garde with a career that almost exactly mirrored that of his contemporary, Kazimir Malevich and a series of works that, had it not been for the tenacity of his widow who outlived him by 54 years, would have disappeared into obscurity.. The career of the artist was tragic, punctuated by war and pestilence, but a now-independent Ukraine is starting to see him as their national artist, a unique creator and theorist to rival the Italian Futurists, Balla, Boccioni, the artists with whom he is closest associated. 1. .
