Their biographies are typical for artists from the cities and small towns of the Belarusian region: an interest in drawing from an early age, receiving an art education first in the Motherland, and then far from the native land, in Paris, through constant self-improvement and self-sacrifice - asserting oneself as a creative individual and, finally, success And after 100 years - the return to the Motherland by masters already recognized by the world. Famous museums of the world have the works of our famous compatriots, who not only entered the history of French art, but also brought the Belarusian spirit, new colors to the painting palette of European art. Thanks to the initiative of the management of Belgazprombank, this movement in art of the 20th century, little known to Belarusians, will be presented for the first time at the exhibition "Artists of the Paris School from Belarus" with original works.
