The Amsterdam City Museum (Stedelijk Museum) in their descriptions began to indicate the artist Kazimir Malevich as a Ukrainian, according to The Art Newspaper. Previously, he was indicated as a Russian artist.

According to a representative of the museum, the decision was made on the basis that Malevich was born in Kyiv.

Changes have been made to the museum’s website and to the text of information plates. “Now we report that Malevich was born in Ukraine to parents of Polish origin,” the museum representative explained.

Meduza in Russia is now not only a “foreign agent”, but also an “undesirable” organization. This status is much worse than before. Nevertheless, we continue to work. We can still be read. It is safe. Here are all the answers to the disturbing questions.

Kazimir Malevich was born in 1879 in Kyiv, when Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire.

In February 2023, it became known that the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art changed on its website the captions for paintings by Ivan Aivazovsky, Ilya Repin and Arkhip Kuindzhi, which are in the museum’s collection. Now next to the names of the artists it is noted that they are Ukrainians. Previously, the museum called them Russian painters.
