off his creative shackles to become a true
revolutionary. Whilst the bulk of the
exhibition is from 1913-15 there are also
two landscapes of the artist's seminal
Caucasus visit, perhaps Bohomazov's
greatest achievement.
The proud, confident Self Portrait on our
catalogue cover provides the setting. This is
no diffident, awkward artist staring at us,
but one on a path to the full-fledged
Futurism as evidenced by the swirling
dynamics of the extraordinary Caucasus.
Undulating Composition from 1915-16.
Two interiors are of the Monastyrska flat, into which Bohomazov moved, which still
perches on Smirnova-Lastochka Street, high above the lower part of Kyiv, Podil.
They showcase the angularity and dynamism for which Bohomazov is famous, as
does Dacha-Boyarka, from the summer of 1914. This drawing depicts a view of the
family's country house some 15 miles outside Kyiv, a place to which the family
escaped during the Civil War.
