Vsevolod Maksymovych

1894 – 1914

Vsevolod Maksymovych was a Ukrainian avant-garde artist and a member of the Poltava circle of athletes The Garden of the Gods. He also starred in the film Drama in a Futurist Cabaret.

Maksymovych is considered one of the brightest representatives of modernism among Ukrainian artists of that time. The theme of antiquity was central to his works. He led a bohemian lifestyle, which was reflected in his art – his works revive the archaic cult of fertility and immerse the viewer in ancient times. In particular, his paintings depict garlands of plant patterns framing the characters (Greek motifs).

He studied and worked in Moscow during the last two years of his life. He committed suicide at the age of 20. The tragic death of the artist after his first solo exhibition was rejected by his contemporaries, and subsequent dramatic historical events, almost a century, concealed his name in hidden collections. The largest collection of Maksymovych's works – about two hundred – is housed at the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

Most famous works: The Kiss (1913), The Feast (1914), Self-Portrait (1913).
