Exter were actually born, or identified themselves as, Ukrainian.” – Grace Glueck, The New York Times, 11.4.06 “Known to scholars as the father of Ukrainian Futurism, Burliuk (1882-1967) dabbled in Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism and Impressionism.” – Ken Johnson, The New York Times, 12.25.08 “Виставка «Україна–Швеція» без перебільшення стане найваго- мішим українським міжнародним музейним проєктом за 20 років незалежності.” – Т.
