30 WWW. UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2014 the Dnipropetrovsk Fine Arts Institute. After World War II in 1945, he lived in Regensburg, Germany, at a displaced persons’ camp for four years, where he continued with his artistic e n- deavors among other talented people in the co m- munity. In 1949, he immigrated with his family to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he was known by his pseudonym, Pedro Enko. There he was a p- pointed “Honorary Member of the Universidad Libre de Humanidades de Buenos Aires” for his artistry and contributions to Argentine cu lture. In 1963, he settled in Philadelphia, PA, taught at the Ukrainian Art Studio with Professor Petro Mehyk, opened his own studio, and created a majority of his works. His most famous sculptures were the large monuments to Metropolitan Vasyl L yp - kivsky and St. Olha, Kyivan Princess, on the grounds of the St. Andrew’s Ukrainian Orth odox Memorial Church in South Bound Brook, NJ. In 1996, Kapschutschenko returned to Ukraine to exhibit his works at the Taras Shev- chenko National Museum in Kyiv and later in other museums throughout Ukraine. There are now nine museums in Ukraine that include his works in their permanent collections. Among them are the Hetmanship Museum in Kyiv, the Taras Shevchenko Museum in Kaniv, the National Expocenter of Ukraine, and more recently, the Ostroh Academy, which added a piece in 2013. In 2005, he was awarded the prestigious “Presidential Order of Artistic Merit” from Pres i- dent of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. He passed away in 2006 in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, lea v- ing his wife Zoia, and daughter, Dr. Ludmila Schmitt, both of whom have passed away since that time. After this biographical account, personal reflections were given by Phyllis Doherty, daug h- ter of the Melnychuk family, and John Bruce Schmitt, Maestro’s son -in-law. Mr. Schmitt d e- scribed his father- in-law as a humble man, who was never arrogant about his accomplishments or abilities. Mr. Schmitt also emphasized the qual i- ties of Maestro’s works which make them exce p- tional: the form and the expressions and details on the faces which capture the precise moment and situation of the piece. He also talked about Petro Kapschutschenko’s great patriotism, dev o- tion, and love of Ukraine, which he carried with him for his entire life. The elegant reception featured both the so unds of the Ukrainian bandura performed by Halyna Bodnar and Yuliya Stupen and Argentine acustica guitar music provided by Pedro Martinez and Joseph Costillo. Live art installations of Ukrainian and Spanish couples from the Voloshky Dance Ensemble offered homage to the artist who was born in Ukraine but lived a part of his life in Argentina. Completing this scene was an elab o- rate culinary assortment of scrumptious appeti z- ers and sweets. The exhibition was organized by Halyna Henhalo, President of the Philadelphia Regional Council, and co -chairs, Eryna Korchynsky and Halyna Keller. Petrusia Sawchak assisted. Other members of the committee included Oxana Farion, Oksana Henhalo, Halyna Karaman, Iryna Konyk, Andrij Korchynsky, Daria Lissy, Mariana Mokritski, Marta Pelensky, Halyna Pupin, Nadia Rusinko, Zoriana Sohatska, Oksana Voroch, and Bogdanna Yudina.
