The artistic career of the Ukrainian painter Ivan Babij took place in his homeland where he joined the "Association of Revolutionary Art Ukraine". After the end of World War I Babij went to Berlin which in those days was the German hotspot for the movement of New Objectivity. In 1925 Ivan Babij showed works on the innovative Mannheim exhibition "Neue Sachlichkeit" [New Objectivity], which was largely responsible for the establishment of the term. In his standard work "Nach-Expressionismus" (Leipzig 1925) Franz Roh mentions Babij as one of the style's protagonists. The same year Ivan Babij moved to Paris where he began to show works in the "Salon d'Automne". With his verist portraits, landscapes and still lives that were highly treasured by his contemporaries, he participated in the exhibition "Realismus in der Malerei der zwanziger Jahre" [Realism in the Art of the 20s] in Hamburg in 1968. With its soberness, it static concept and the cool atmosphere it is both a prime example of New Objectivity still lives and of the artistic refinement of Ivan Babij. [KP].
