Oleksandr Bohomazov. Avtoportret [Alexander Bogomazov. Self-portrait]

The book is dedicated to the art of the famous early 20th-century Ukrainian avant-gardist, Oleksandr Bohomazov. It traces the development of and stylistic transformations in Bohomazov’s work from his early Impressionist influences to the formation of the artist’s personal formalist approach to three-dimensional art. The book offers the reader the opportunity to compare his self-portraits to real photographs of the artist taken during the same years and imagine how the artist might have viewed himself at various stages of his life. The publication further reveals an unknown page of the artist’s artistic inheritance—Oleksandr Bohomazov’s literary self-portrait. No less brilliant than those he created with his pencil and brush, it perhaps provides yet more relief. Oleksandr Bohomazov: A Self-Portrait includes a lot of illustrated and archival material, shown here for the first time
