Did You Know?

Alexandra Exter was born in Białystok (in present-day Poland) but moved with her family to Kyiv when she two years old. She spent the formative years of her life and career in Ukraine and her work is deeply related to Ukrainian folk traditions and national identity.

Description

A leading artist of the Russian avant-garde, Alexandra Exter was associated with the Cubo-Futurist, Suprematist, and Constructivist movements. This landscape features a complex interweaving of fragmented, geometric planes intersecting and colliding in a collapsed space. Exter painted this abstract landscape at a crucial time when she was moving beyond Cubism toward a more dynamic style of intense color and energetic movement.
