BORIS KOSAREV: Kharkiv Modernism | Myroslava Mudrak, Valentina Chechik, Tatyana Pavlova

The book "BORYS KOSAREV: Kharkiv Modernism" offers a unique look at the work of the prominent Ukrainian artist Boris Kosarev, viewing him through the prism of his native Kharkiv and the cultural context of the early 20th century. The editor of the album, Ohio University professor Myroslava Mudrak, focuses on the heyday of avant-garde art in Kharkiv, which was then a real hotbed of innovative ideas in theater, painting, graphics, and photography.

It was at this time that a number of influential art groups emerged in Kharkiv, some of which significantly influenced the further development of 20th-century art. During this period, Kosarev actively experimented in various genres. In addition to his well-known theatrical works, the album presents a wide range of the artist's work, including his graphic works, collages, design works, as well as artistic and documentary photographs. This publication allows for a deeper understanding of the multifaceted talent of Boris Kosarev and his significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian modernism.
