Exhibition of Women Painters THE MARIA KRASNONIS EXHIBIT IN NEW YORK CITY Early in some ancient and mighty migration of earth, now lost in the limbo of time, the Uk rainian people learned that what ever vicissitudes assailed them from the outside world to keep the core of their being sound. That is why Ukrainian women, especially their leaders, have that look of immense perspective in their eyes. Even in the most intolerable of persecutions out from that hidden core art has flowered, in its vari ous forms. Today, in the current ingenious and insidious Soviiet- Russian in-gathering of defense less peoples into' Communism, in the more genial mental atmo sphere of metropolitan New York City the No. 64 UNWLA Branch of that city was able to institute in 1957 an annual autumn exhibi tion of Ukrainian women paint ers. This October, 1959, 27 women painteds, more than previously, exhibited. Many of these women, who accepted the invitation of the UNWLA, are living abroad. Delighted by their response, and the warm ties developing be tween the Ukrainian women’s or ganization and the painters, the Board is keeping a file of all paintings, and being in constant communication with the artists. Although most of them exhibit ed there before, this year their new paintings showed important innovations. While for some time this was their first exhibit anywhere their work was highly creditable. At the opening of the public “viewing” Prof. Malutsa intro duced the paintings, commenting on the growth of the painters dur ing the last three years. He divid ed the artists into two groups: the older ones who held to the tradi tional methods, and the younger ones who boldly experimented. The paintings of these two groups differ even in size, the latter be ing given to large pictures, and the older ones to smaller. During this first 3-year-period Halina Mazepa, Caracas, Venezu ela and Sophie Zarytsky, Paris, France, continue to^ be the out standing artists. This autumn each hung a few new pictures. Ludmila Morozova is not so modern, but the wistfulness in her brush is haunting. Katherine Kry- chevska brought some nice aqua- rells from her trip to Europe. Ly dia PaliPs medium was graphics. Those given to modern experi menting were Iwanna Pryma, Maria Krasnonis, Nathalia Poh- rebinska and Arkadia Petryshyn. Impressive landscapes were hung by Stefania Baziuk, Maria Hara- sovsky, Lydia Hrycan, Olga Dia- dyniuk, Tetiana Kniahynycka, Olena Kononenko, Adriana Ly- sak, Julie Mykolayska, Olga Mo- nastyrska, Zoria Podubynska and Irene Shuchewydh. Young artists bringing excellent sketches included Lydia Hrycan, Christine Zelinska, Nina Klymov- ska, Roxolana Luchakovska, Ok sana Murij, and Irene Nosyk. Uk rainian historical costumes, with their all but lost intricate patterns and gorgeous colors found ex pression in the work of Katherine Antonowych. And fairy tales, so beloved by the young-hearted, the world over were painted by Nina Mudryk. The exhibition was well attend ed, the opening night even crowd ed, a sign that this annual cultu ral event is already being eagerly anticipated by New Yorkers. L. B. O U R LIFE Edited by Editorial Board Published by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America* Inc^ 9#9 N. Franklin St. Philadelphia 23, Pa. Phone MA 7-7945 From October 11-25, 1959 the painter Maria Krasnonis held a “One man Show” of her paintings in the Ukrainian Literary Club, 149 — 2nd Ave., New York City. In two large rooms some 60 paint ings were on exhibit there, Maria Krasnonis came to America 12 years ago, with her husband and daughter. Her long interest in art finally brought the opportunity to study in the art school, The Educational Alliance, Inc. She has exhibited at the Sulli van Art Gallery in New' York City, the Educational Alliance, Inc., the Greenwich Village out door show, and the Adam Ahab Gallery in Greenwich Village. ANNIVERSARY OF KATHERINE RUBCHAK Forty years ago the war raged in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Gov ernment and Army were concen trated on a small strip of land around Kamenets Podilsky. Al though the small territory was ravaged with hunger and typhoid fever the struggle against the bol shevik attack went on with fran tic fervor. It was there, in Kamenets Po dilsky, in November 1919 that Ka therine Rubchak, the great Uk rainian actress died. She was born in W est Ukraine, and entered the stage at an early age. Endowed with beauty and a lovely voice, she started in comedies and music shows. Soon, however, her real talent became apparent to all, and she began to appear in drama. In a short time the volume of her re- petoire grew and she became the leading lady of the Ukrainian theatre. Until she fell ill with typhoid fever, as did many Ukrainian pat riots then, she considered it her duty to offer artistic distraction to her people in the struggle of those turbulent times. Ukrainians, everywhere in the free world are honoring her anni versary. Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н . Й . C Ш A.
