Oleksandr Bohomazov (1880 – 1930) was a known artist and modern art theoretician of the Ukrainian avant-garde. In 1914, Oleksandr wrote his treatise The Art of Painting and the Elements. In it he analyzed the interaction between Object, Artist, Picture, and Spectator and sets the theoretical foundation of modern art. During his artistic life Oleksandr Bogomazov mastered several art styles. The most known are Cubo-Futurism (1913–1917) and Spectralism (1920–1930).

All works earlier used to be part of Igor Dychenko’s collection and the Stedley Art Foundation continues our mission of studying and popularizing this heritage.
