M aria M oraczewska: M adonna. OUR NEW HOME MARIA MORACZEWSKA’S PAINTINGS W hen our UNWLA member, M aria Moraczewska died a year ago, the 10 UNWLA Branch in Philadelphia decided to honor her by an exhibit of her paint ings on the first anniversary of her death. Her exhibit was held November 23, 1961. This accomplished painter was born in U kraine; and spent m ost of her life there. A fter studying a rt in Lviv, she became an a rt teacher, and at the same tim e developed her talent in the realm of applied art. L ater joining 0. Novakivsky’s a rt school at Lviv she studied drawing and paint ing ; and her landscapes attracted attention at the school’s exhibits. World W ar II interrupted this activity. M aria Moraczewska, then a widow w ith two children left her country, and re-settled in America. A fter the first hard years she again began to teach and paint. Most of her paintings, at the exhibit, were from this last pe riod. Never did she deviate from the classic approach to artistic values. Her sensitivity drove her always to search for order and harm ony. And her flowers and landscapes were in harm ony with nature, and enriched by her own skill in the use of vivid im pres sionistic color. The exhibit hung in the audi torium of St. Nicholas Parochial School in Philadelphia, where she had taught. Many form er pupils viewed it, as well as a rt lovers from the Ukrainian community. The UNWLA members are proud to have had her as a member. Many cattle grazing; and all roads lined w ith trees. It is really a green island. People are good-natured. No one speeds. Although tourists swarm through Dublin, retu rn ing home, you have to be patient and plan your own trip well. No thing prom pts the Irish people to hurry. Placidly, unhurriedly they absorb the beauty of their lovely land. Irene Pawlykowska The redevelopment of certain areas of Philadelphia brought us an event — the change of our UNWLA home. Our friendly house on Franklin Street had to be vacated in Dec. How sorry we were to leave its cosily, well shaped rooms. Especially we will miss the garden filled w ith flow ers, cultivated in U kraine; and the luxuriant “kalina” bush, planted solemnly four years ago as a symbol of love and superna tural forces. W ith this change confronting us the Executive Board of UN WLA began looking for a new, adequate home. Finally a place was found and purchased at 4936 N. 13th St. A corner house in a quiet residential section surrounded by trees. A small garden gives it a lovely fram e. This will be the new home of the U krainian National Women’s League. Let us hope it will be again a true center for its B ran ches; and hum w ith activities during the year. The big living room will serve for m eetings of the Board, the Regional Council and the Branches. In the other rooms our office will be placed. U pstairs are living quarters for the staff. And the adjacent gar age could be remodeled into a Day Center for U krainian chil dren. How lively our center will be.
