“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2020 WWW. UNWLA.ORG 1 9 A T rip to the Ukrainian Museum in NYC? Yes, please. by Natalia Pawlenko, UNWLA Arts & Museum Chairperson No trip to New York City is complete without a stop at T he Ukrainian Museum in the East Village. Founded in 1976 by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, The Ukrainian Mu - seum is an achievement of which our organization can be proud. The curren t exhibits are tantalizing and provocative and provide a great excuse to make a special trip to see them before they move on to other venues. The main gallery features From Darkness to Light: The Paintings of Mikhail Turovsky (on view until March 22, 2020) , a retrospective exhibition of works by the artist, who began his career in Soviet Ukraine. Born in 1933 in Kyiv, Turovsky experienced the devastation of WWII. Years l ater, he received his academic art education at the Kyiv Art Institute . I n 1979 he emigrated to the U.S. together with his family. Mikhail Turowsky, Four trees, 2004, oil on canvas (Image: The Ukrainian Museum) Curated by Ukrainian poet Vasyl Makhn o , the exhibit features more than 60 large format works from the artist's collection, spanning the years from 1979 through the present. Among these works, the exhibition contains Turovsky’s studies of two major 20th century tragedies that impacted Ukrainian s and Jews: the Holodomor of the early 1930s and the Holocaust of the 1940s. Other images include mother and child, cityscapes, naturescapes — all executed in a bold, vigorous style that does not fail to capture one’s attention. In the upstairs gallery, the exhibit The Impact of Modernity: Late 19th and Early 20th Century Ukrainian Art ( on view through May 3, 2020) features works never shown before . R ecently donated to The Ukrainian Museum's permanent collection of fine art by Dr. Jurij Rybak and Anna Ortyns kyj, the nearly 80 artworks , representing thirty - one artists , range from classics of the late 19th and early 20th century to avant - garde experimental art of 1910 – 1930, from works produced in Ukraine (some prior to World War I and some during the interwar p eriod) to works produced in the United States by artists who emigrated from Ukraine. This is a fascinating collection, featuring some internationally re - nown ed artists like Sonia Delauney, Alexander Archipenko and David Burliuk . According to Myroslav Shkandrij, Professor of Slavic Studies at the University of Ma nitoba and the guest curator of the exhibit, "The exhibition presents a rare opportunity to take in the breadth and scope of modern Ukrainian art within the context of in ternational development . . . (and) the opportunity to see some of the greatest artists of the last two centuries . . . " Olena Kulchytska, Untitled (Harvest), 1930s?, linocut on paper Descend to the lower level gallery where you will be immersed in A Conversation , an installation and art performance by legendary Ukrainian artist Vlodko Kaufman, with the as - sistance of fellow Ukrainian artist Natalka Shymin.
