Brilliant Ukrainian artists

Max Shadko 10-A


Oleksandr Arkhipenko
One of the founders of cubism in sculpture, an artist whose
exhibitions took place from New York to Tokyo. Oleksandr
Arkhipenko was born in 1887 in Kyiv, studied at the Kyiv Art
School. In 1906, he had his first exhibition, organized with
another outstanding Ukrainian avant-garde artist Oleksandr
Bogomazov.
In a few years he emigrated to France. In Paris, he lived in the
then cult place for artists from different countries - "The
Beehive", a residence for poor artists who are just starting their
creative journey. He violated the principles of classical art,
proving that a complete image can be made from different
forms. His own creative method of "architecture" promoted
spontaneity, reflexivity and dynamics. Sculpture works
influenced the further development of plastic art and design.
Wassyl Kandinsky
The artist who was the first in the world to create an abstract
work. Kandinsky was born in Moscow, but spent his childhood
years in Odessa, where he studied at the Art School named after
Grekova Having remarkable intellectual abilities, he entered the
Moscow University, where he studied jurisprudence and
economics.
At the age of 30, Kandinsky gave up his teaching career to
devote himself entirely to art. He studies at the Munich
Academy, goes outdoors to the Alps, is fond of Wagner's music.
When the school was canceled by the Nazi government, Vasyl
Vasyliovych left for Paris. Already there, he worked on
paintings that presented the philosophy of "absolute
subjectivity", according to which the artist is a prophet, a person
who can predict the future.
Alexander Exter
She is often called the "Amazon of the avant-garde", because
Alexandra Ekster was really one of the first on the territory of
the Russian Empire at the time, and in Europe as well, who was
captivated by the freedom and powerful welcoming force of the
new art.
She was born in Poland, but grew up and studied in Kyiv.
Together with Oleksandr Bogomazov, Ekster made a kind of
reconnaissance trip to Ukrainian villages, where she studied
folk art, how intuitive, naive art combines colors.
Her Kyiv studio, despite the artist's frequent trips to Moscow,
Vienna, and Paris, became the center of Kyiv's cultural life.
However, the main achievement of Exter, which is highly
appreciated in the world, is its scenography.
Yakov Hnizdovskyi
Two of Hnizdovsky's works once hung in the office of US
President John Kennedy, but this is only evidence of the artist's
fame, not its cause. Yakov was born in 1915 and was a
descendant of a noble family. He received a good education,
studied at the Warsaw Academy of Arts sponsored by
Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, then in Zagreb.
Hnizdovsky really lived by art, could not notice ordinary things,
"was always preoccupied" and paid little attention to the social
and political events unfolding in pre-war Europe. The source of
inspiration for the artist was the works of Albrecht Dürer.
Ivan Marchuk
"Give me a thousand years - I will paint the sky and not repeat
myself!" - Ivan Marchuk
Ivan Marchuk is a famous artist, the patriarch of the avant-
garde, a legend of Ukrainian painting, a genius who created
about 5,000 works, opened more than 150 monographic and 50
collective exhibitions, and invented his own style "plontanism"
(derived from the Ukrainian word "plontaty" - to weave).
His works are in museums on five continents. Marchuk was
included in the list of "100 best living geniuses" compiled by
the British newspaper Daily Telegraph. The International
Academy of Contemporary Art in Rome admitted him to the
Golden Guild (which includes 51 artists from around the world)
and elected him an honorary member of the academy's scientific
council.
