After a slow-moving January, the art scene is coming back to life with the fifth Sculpture Saloon.
It’s a must-see exhibition for all art lovers. All 74 sculptures of world-famous French impressionist artist and painter Edgar Degas will make it to Kyiv.
Degas, now considered a founder of the impressionist trend, denied the term back in the 19th century and called himself a realist.
Only one sculpture was exhibited in his lifetime – “The Little Fourteen Year Old Dancer.”
After Degas’ death, his heirs discovered about 150 wax sculptures, 74 of which were fit to be cast in bronze.
Apart from this art mammoth, the Saloon will present some 30 works from leading Ukrainian modern sculptors.
Feb. 18 – March 13, 11 a.m.- 8 p.m., Mystetsky Arsenal, 12-14 Lavrska, metro Arsenalna, 288-5225. Tickets: Hr 40.
