This is an automatically translated description

Many artists who considered themselves Ukrainians, who were born and worked in Ukraine, are now known worldwide as representatives of Russian or European culture. With this book, Myroslav Shkandriy restores to the Ukrainian avant-garde the Ukrainian face that was stolen by the colonial past. Here, Ukraine appears as a multinational country with a rich culture that inspired bold artistic movements. The author scrutinises the lives and works of artists of the 20s and 30s, including David Burliuk, Kazimir Malevich, Ivan Kavaleridze, Dzyga Vertov, Vadym Meller, and Mykhailo Boichuk.
