Volodymyr Tatlin was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in 1885 and became a prominent avant-garde artist who made significant contributions to the world of art, design, and architecture. The founder of constructivism, Tatlin lived and taught in Kyiv, Ukraine from 1925 until late 1927. This exhibition catalogue chronicles his time and work in Kyiv and celebrates his creative legacy. The publication also serves as a valuable education platform for the decolonization of Ukrainian avant-garde art history. By bringing together Tatlin's artworks from his little-known Kyiv period, re-creating his Kyiv studio, and highlighting his teaching and students at the Kyiv Art Institute, the publication contributes the preservation of Ukrainian art history.
Essay by art historians, Peter Doroshenko, Oksana Semenik, and Tetyana Filevska cover Tatlin's work and life during this important time-period.
