Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam recognizes Malevich as Ukrainian artist

The Art Newspaper reported the information.

The museum team made this decision based on the fact that Malevich was born in Kyiv.

Previously, the exhibition presented Malevich as a Russian artist.

The museum has already changed the information in the texts on the walls and on the website.

It should be noted that the Stedelijk is a famous art museum in the capital of the Netherlands, which has a significant collection of works of national (Dutch), French and contemporary world fine art.

• On February 8, the Metropolitan Museum of Art changed the nationality of the Mariupol-born artist Arkhip Kuindzhi from Russian to Ukrainian in its descriptions. The museum also changed the title of the painting "Russian Dancers" by French impressionist Edgar Degas to "Dancers in Ukrainian Dress.”

• On February 11, the museum also recognized Ilya Repin and Ivan Aivazovsky as Ukrainian, not Russian, artists.
