Annabelle Birnie clarified that the split from State Hermitage Museum was an economic boycott, not a dismissal of Russian art or artists.
H'Art, formerly Hermitage Amsterdam, chose to showcase Russian-born artist Wassily Kandinsky to emphasize the decision was not about rejecting Russian culture.
The retrospective exhibition of Kandinsky at H'Art features 60 paintings, mainly from the Pompidou Center in Paris.
The exhibition highlights the career of Kandinsky, an artist influenced by war and nationalism, who also had to sever ties with his homeland.
