An exhibition on 20th century Ukrainian realist art at the Milan Triennale

The Milan Triennale is hosting from April 27 to May 22 the Ukrainian Realism exhibition, which brings together pictorial works, received on loan courtesy of the Cooperative Theater, by several Ukrainian painters of the 1970s and 1980s who worked in the last period of existence of the Soviet cosmos, including Anatoliy Shapovalov Gavrilovic, Anatoly Ivanovich Dovzhenko, and Vadim Demjanovich Valigura. These are images marked by socialist realism, portraying factories, schools, fields and cities in an almost photographic way, showing landscapes, bodies and colors of a land trapped for more than a century, and even today, between apparent peace and sunny beauty.

Ukrainian Realism presents a florilegium of pictures painted by Ukrainian women painters during the last decades of the Soviet Union. These works are also unique for their curious provenance, as they were preserved by a Milanese civil theater entity attentive to the facts of history, Renato Sarti’s Teatro della Cooperativa. The exhibited artists worked during the last period of existence of the Soviet cosmos. They are images marked by socialist realism that, portraying factories schools fields and cities in an almost photographic way, show landscapes bodies and colors of a land we now know well, trapped for more than a century, and even today, between apparent peace and sunny beauty.
