Vasyl Yermilov Design for the interiors of Kharkov Palace of Pioneers. 1934 
An exhibition of the outstanding avant-gardist, the leader of the Kharkov avant-garde art Vasily Yermilov has been opened in Moscow. 
      
For the first time one exposition in Moscow brings together the artist’s best works: paintings, graphic art, sculptures, design, and book illustrations.
      
Vasily Yermilov (1894-1968) was one of the leading constructivist artists of Ukraine, and the western critics estimated him as “one of the best designers of his generation”. His works are kept in museums and private collections in Russia, Ukraine, the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France, and are sold at international auctions. Yermilov's art is a synthesis of different art trends, including expressionism, cubism, futurism, and neoprimitivism.
