May 3, 2011 in the Transcarpathian Regional Museum of Art opened in Uzhgorod large retrospective exhibition of outstanding Ukrainian artist AM Kashshaya. This is the first exhibition of the master in a number of other dedicated to his 90-year anniversary - the following will be in a museum in Kiev, and then in a museum in Kiev. Organizers presented about 80 works by masters from different periods of his career. The basis of the exposition - a collection of works of Transcarpathian Art Museum, many papers have given private collectors. Opening of the exhibition was accompanied by another important event - the presentation of the book
"Anton KASHSHAY. Painting" (Uzhgorod, 2011, author-composer Kashshay E., 248 pages). This is the first fundamental work about the famous artist , which assembled the largest to date catalog of his works from museums and private collections in the country. The album was released 20 years after the death of the master.
The event was a grand event. Due to the fact that the last great exhibition great master of landscape was carried out during his lifetime (in 1988 in Kiev in the House of Artists), many of today's collectors have now idea about the real level of his work and creativity. At auctions and in the hands of mostly one can see paintings, sketches from plein air, which wrote a lot (a lot of work on location), and because of which the present level of creativity in the memory is erased. Know more than those who bought work from him personally, or his wife, Helena Alexandrovna, or in the family. And now, when brought together more than 80 works - virtually the best of Uzhgorod collections were a bit stunned and the organizers, and collectors, and visitors. Such power, such potential! This is an outstanding artist and a brilliant painter. I suggest to look at the pictures from the show. Memory of the artist and his work is dedicated.
