Reference: The Ukrainian avant-garde is an artistic movement of the 1910s–1930s that combined European modernism, cubo-futurism, constructivism, suprematism, and neo-primitivism with the traditions of Ukrainian folk art. Its key representatives include: Kazimir Malevich, Oleksandr Arkhipenko, Oleksandra Ekster, Oleksandr Bogomazov, David Burliuk, Vasyl Yermylov, Vadim Meller and Anatol Petrytsky.
