Alexander BOGOMAZOV (1880-1930). |

Fire in Kyiv. 1916. Dry sauce (coal) on gray paper. 27x32 cm. National Art Museum of Ukraine, Kyiv. | |||
The drawing was bought for the famous Tereschenkos’ collection in Kyiv and, after the revolution of 1917, was moved to so-called Russian Art Museum. In the days of “struggle against formalism” the work was classed among items on “non-museum importance”, and the author’s name was lost. I managed to ensure that this perfect drawing by Bogomazov was transferred to the National Art Museum of Ukraine. Attributed by Prof.D.Gorbachev. Major exhibitions:
