"Мовчання", 1977, картон, темпера. *The artist symbolically represents the reality of the Soviet system where one was not allowed to hear, see or speak. Petro Hrytsyk’s paintings reflect 20 years of an uneasy calm, during which he searched for his self- expression in art. Hrytsyk, like most creative individuals in Ukraine during the 1970s and 1980s were denied recognition in the officially sanctioned art circles. “Unofficial art — is a Soviet grass roots pheno menon that has no analogies even in its parallel rela tionships with the cultures of socialist countries, where the artistic process though full of contradictions, appears unified and alluring... .” Halyna Skliarenko offers this analysis of “unofficial art” in the introduction essay to the catalogue “Three Generations of Ukrainian Paint ings.” The official art in the Soviet countries, particu larly in Ukraine, was socialist realism, whereas art which followed other paths and individual initiative was termed “unofficial”, “non-conformist.” Consequently, it lacked uniformity. Petro Hrytsyk was born on May 3, 1944 in the vil lage of Zhulychi, County of Tomashiv. While still a child, together with his parents he was resettled to the Central region of Halychyna, where the family made their home in a small town called Bibrka, Lviv County. Hrytsyk received his primary at education in the Ivan Trush School of Applied and Decorative Art in Lviv (1961-1963) and later studied in the Lviv Art Institute of Applied and Decorative Art (1963-1968). His teachers were Karlo Zvirynsky and Danylo Dovboshynsky, prom inent representatives of the Lviv school of painting, 20 ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 1990 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
