The
National Art Museum of Ukraine (Kyiv) permanently displays a cubist
landscape by A. Exter Sevr Bridge
(1912) painted when the Kyivite artist worked together with such
masters of French fine art as Picasso, Braque,
Léger. This work, which was sentenced to destruction
in 1952 as a “formalist” (non-realistic), appeared in the
museum’s lists as a work of an unknown painter. By analogy with Exter’s works in foreign collections I defined the authorship and
the date. In the 1990s, this work was exhibited at many
international exhibitions, the most recent of which is the Amazons
of Russian Avantgarde shown in honored museums of Germany, USA,
and Russia. Principal exhibitions:
