Exhibition
Ukrainian Realism
April 27 – May 22 2022
The exhibition Ukrainian Realism brings together paintings, on loan from the Teatro della Cooperativa, by several Ukrainian painters from the 1970s and 1980s who worked during the final period of the Soviet Union, including Anatoliy Shapovalov Gavrilovic, Dovzhenko Anatoly Ivanovich, and Vadim Demjanovich Valigura. These images stand out for their socialist realism, portraying factories, schools, fields and cities in an almost photographic way, showing the landscapes, bodies and colours of a land trapped between apparent peace and sunny beauty for more than a century, even continuing today.
