The second trip Shevchenko made to Ukraine was in 1845, as a graduate of the Academy of Arts and as a member of an archeographical commission. On this trip he painted historical and architectural monuments. In 1847 Shevchenko began to teach art at the Uni versity of Kiev, but was shortly arrested for participation in the Kyrylo Metodiivske Bratstvo. As punishment he was sent to Orenburg as a common soldier, expressly forbidden to write and paint. This horrendous punish ment edict was signed by Czar Nicholas of Russia. Nevertheless, Shevchenko did draw and paint. Again, his art depicts his life in bondage. In 1848 as a member of an expedition he journeyed to the Aral Sea. Here Shevchenko’s paintings show the life style of the local people, and above all the poet’s deep feelings of respect and love for his fellow man. In 1850 Shevchenko is arrested again for breaking the no painting, no writing edict. This time he is sent to the Manhyshlak peninsula, in virtual seclusion. But, yet one more time he is allowed to join a geological expedi tion as a sketch artist, to record places where a search was made for the mining of coal. Here he draws scenes from the lives of local folk. Shevchenko also' utilizes local people to depict biblical themes such as the para ble of the wayward son (of the 12 conceived for a series, he only finished 8). Many characters in his paiptings look at us with the artist's eyes, because many times he was painting himself (Robinson Crusoe, Doigenes). In 1857, after 10 years of exile, Shevchenko is set free. His return trip home was partly on the river Volga. He painted nature scenes and portaits on the long trek to freedom. During this time he found a new interest — engraving. It is interesting to note that in the next three years Shevchenko made a trumendous impact with his writing and art. The Academy of Arts honored him for high achievements in the engraving field. He also published a new edition of Kobzar and Bukvar. He made plans to publish several books on historical themes, as well as math books. Shevchenko died before he could accomp lish this. In memory of Dmytro Samochwal, grandfather of co-worker, Ludmila Kaniuga Golad, United States Trust Company of New York made donations for Medical Fund in.the amount of $115.00.
