New York museum is among institutions reattributing works by painters born in what is now Ukraine – to a mixed response
in London last year to change the name of another of Degas’ dancer series from Russian Dancers to Ukrainian Dancers, since the subjects of Degas’ work, judged by their costumes, likely came from what is now Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian empire.last year that it was “an appropriate moment to update the painting’s title to better reflect the subject of the painting”.
. “The history of renaming world-famous paintings and the disassociation of great artists from the word Russia, commenced a little less than a year ago, when the process of abolishing Russian culture was gaining momentum.” The question of whether Degas considered his subjects Russian or Ukrainian has also come into question. By some accounts, the Russian attribution was given by his dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, who bought one of the series from the painter in 1906.
At least some of reattributions are credited to Oksana Semenik, formerly a researcher at Rutgers University in New Jersey, who was in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha last March when it was attacked by Russian forces.
