    Zinaida Yevgenyevna Serebriakova (née Lanceray) was a Ukrainian painter who was active in the early 20th century.

Though she…

    Ivan Pokhitonov is a Ukrainian painter I featured on Lines and Colors in 2019.

I’ve sometimes described these artists as “Russian/Ukrainian” artists. Ukrainian artists are often described this way, partly because Ukraine was for a long…
