Vsevolod Maksimovich (01/29/1894 – 05/03/1914) lived a short and bright, like a flash, life. Born and lived in Poltava, from childhood he showed interest in painting, received his first artistic education from local artists. He belonged to the Poltava circle of athletes "Garden of the Gods", in which they cherished the ancient ideal of the body and mastered academic drawing, inspired by Greek art and depicting mainly the naked body. The last two years of his life he studied and created in Moscow. He committed suicide at the age of 20. The tragic death of the artist after the rejection of his first personal exhibition by his contemporaries and subsequent dramatic historical events closed his name in hidden funds for almost a century. Only in the 21st century did the world begin to rediscover Maksimovich. Today he is considered one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainian modernism, and his works are exhibited in museums and galleries of different countries.

Despite his short life, he managed to create a significant number of works of art in various styles and techniques. The largest collection Maksimovich's works - about two hundred - are kept by the National Art Museum of Ukraine. One of them is a painting created by the artist in 1913 - "The Kiss", which you can assemble from puzzle pieces. Let this exquisite masterpiece of Ukrainian modernism become a part of your space, reminding you of the undying power of true art.
