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.
