Kherson Art Museum has identified another exhibit that was stolen by Russians and illegally taken to Crimea. The museum reported this on its Facebook page, according to UNN.
Details
A stolen work by a Kharkiv artist was included in a propaganda story filmed by the occupying media in the Central Museum of Tavrida. It is a color linocut "To the Great Kobzar" (1964) by Igor Stakhanov.
At the same time, the report states that the Russians are exporting Ukrainian works of art. "These Russians are mysterious and illogical, they did not "save" or "evacuate" their idol Lenin, but for some reason they took our Shevchenko with them...", the post reads.
The freeze-frame from the occupation plot also contains three more works identified earlier:
Anatoliy Platonov (1927-2005). Chufut-Kale, Bakhchisarai. 1986. Oil on canvas.
Ksenia Stetsenko (b. 1959). Peonies, poppies, grapes. 1998. Cardboard, oil.
Ivan Starenkov (1955-2010). Tertia. 1996. Oil on canvas.
