In Memory of Valerian Nesterov
19.08.2026 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
As part of its “Our Heritage” program, the Kharkiv Municipal Gallery presents a retrospective of Valerian Nesterov’s paintings (1940s–1980s) and graphic works, including “small-format” works that the artist himself did not intend to exhibit during his lifetime.
…He was a participant in the Great Patriotic War and served as a pilot; this can be traced in his works, as the artist seems to look down from above…
…from such a perspective, the mountains do not seem so high, but instead form an integral landscape.
…he loved a change of scenery and traveled extensively. There are no subjects in his works painted from memory or drawn from friends’ stories; everything was painted “here and now.”
