УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ МУЗЕЙ 203 SECOND AVENUE • NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10003 NEWS FROM UKRAINIAN MUSEUM The Ukrainian Museum, into its fifth year of exhibiting Ukrainian folk art, is becoming a popular museum with the media. The New York Times on Friday March 27th, Friday Section, page 1 featured The Ukrai nian Museum in: “A Grand Tour of Culture Without Leaving New York”. Writer J. Dunnings writes, '... the gaiety of the exhibitions and warmth of the staff create the feeling of being in another place. Ms. Dunnings went on to describe the other folk art currently on permanent exhibit and “Rushnyky-Ukrianian Ritual Cloths” & “Pysanky-Ukrainian Easter Eggs”. Other cultural institu tions featured were The Japan House, China House, Center of Tibetan Art and others. The Daily News, April 4th included as a feature in its centerfold: ’’What’s Doing”, The Ukrainian Museum’s “Pysanka-Ukrainian Easter Eggs”, workshops and demonstrations. Bill Farrell, besides the history behind the Ukrainian pysanka wrote: ‘... when it comes to deco rating those eggs, there are few who do them up quite as nicely as the Ukrainians.’ Ford Times, April, Published and distributed by the Ford Company, feature article “Easter Egg: Their History and Their Mystery” by Lorna Sass, describes the ancient to the modern use of the egg. Ms. Sass also describes the technique used in making pysanky, sym bols decorating pysanky and that the Museum Shop has supplies and kits to make your own pysanky. Pan Am, April, Published and distributed by Pan Am Airlines, in: “Newslines”, included “Pysanky-Ukrainian Easter Eggs” as a feature of the month. A color photo supplied by the museum was tangent to an extensive write-up on the history of the Ukrainian pysanka. Also mentioned were workshops, and demonstrations spon sored by The Ukrainian Museum. ON OUR COVER On the cover a collagraph “Providna Nedila”, Ceme- tary Gate, Kiev, 1971, by Olga Maryschuk. Predominantly a graphic artist, Olga’s technique has many facets. It consists of collages, prints, and watercolors. A wide scale of colors can be found in her work. It ranges from dark somber hues of her Ukrainian studies, to lovely green shades in her North Carolina landscapes and the bright pale golden colored petals of her sunflowers. She was born in the United States but her parents are natives of Western Ukraine. She received her art education at Cooper Union, the Pratt Graphic Center and the New York Studio School. Her work has been exhibited at various galleries in New York, Philadelphia, North Carolina, Toronto and Kiev. With her background she could have easily blended and disappeared into the American mainstream but a spark of curiosity about her ancestors existed and was easily rekindled. It was in 1970 that she obtained a fel lowship to the Kiev State Institute of Art. There her instructor in graphics was the reknown artist Vasyl Kasian. Her stay in Ukraine gave her an opportunity to find her ancestral roots. Her work of this period is based primarily on Ukrainian folklore — rich darkly colored Easter eggs, a village church, its three cupolas peering out from behind green hills, “Vertep” of a Christmas Night and strong, open peasant faces of “Our Forgotten Ancestors”. The collagraph on the cover is from this period. It mirrors the hardships and harshness of every day life. Big, unwieldy old women peddle their wares: flowers and Easter eggs, the goods of “Providna Nedila”. The week after Easter, now as centuries ago, from far and near, with flowers and pysanky, families gather at gravesites to pray and honor their ancestors in an ancient traditional memorial. Ten years ago Olga returned home. A traditionally embroidered towel and her works inspired by Ukrainian folklore welcome you into her living room. Her studio is filled with many studies of sunflowers — the golden blossom of Ukraine. BRANCH #2, CHESTER, PA. We had approximately 6 meetings this past year. We at present have 33 active members; that total presenting an in crease of one new member. We are doing our best to attract more and younger members. One of our obligations is to visit our sick members. Also, we baked bread at Eastertime and delivered it to our senior members. Our biggest function of the year is our Spring Festi val. We try to have as many craft tables as possible. A part of our profits is donated to St. Mary’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Chester, Pa., who generously allow us to use their church hall for our meetings and our Festival. We are happy to report two of our members have reorga nized and reactivated the Jr. Chapter in St. Mary’s. Our branch donated a sum of money to help them in their efforts. Our Branch is most enthusiastic in support of both the Spring Festival and the Jr. Chapter. We also hope to have a few more smaller functions this year. We feel this would help us to call attention to our Branch and attract new and active memvers. We are looking forward to a successful year.
