Hall №2
125 YEARS OF UKRAINIAN CINEMATOGRAPHY
Works from the KhRAM collection
18 February 2021 - 30 June 2021

2021 has been declared the Year of Significant Events at the museum. During this year, we will take a trip back in time to recall significant dates in the history of Ukraine and learn more about the collection of the KhRAM.

Art theory considers cinema to be a synthetic art that absorbs the expressive properties of literature, music, theater, fine arts, etc. However, cinema images are visual by nature, so the affinity between cinema and fine arts deserves special attention.

Cinematic images, like images of other plastic arts, are built in accordance with the laws and peculiarities of visual perception. That is why both artists and filmmakers solve similar problems: artistic and plastic reproduction of a specific time, space, object environment, and human image. Another important similarity between cinema and fine art is the presence of a frame, that is, the existence of images in a framed space. So, within the framework of this exhibition, we will try to look into the world of cinema through the prism of the works of prominent Ukrainian artists who were or are in one way or another involved in the world of cinema.

The exhibition will include works by Heorhiy and Serhiy Yakutovych, Ihor Podolchak, Viktor Myhulko, Anatoliy Ponomarenko, Oleksiy Levchenko, Yevhen Rakhmanin, Oleksandr Roitburd, and others.
