THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM 222 East 6th Street, New York, NY 10003 www.ukrainianmuseum.org In Bloom: Nature and Art The Ukrainian Museum’s newest exhibition, In Bloom: Nature and Art , features floral motifs found in its fine art and folk art collections – collections developed over the past 45 years thanks largely to the generosi - ty of private collectors who entrusted their treasured works to the Museum. The number of artists repre - sented in these collections and the quality of the art - works are a source of great pride. Among the preeminent artists in the exhibition is Oleksa Novakivsky, whose Art School in Lviv (1923–1933) and vigorous, expansive painting technique influenced a generation of young artists. The floral motif became a strong presence in his works, perhaps nowhere more brilliantly explored than in the magisterial Woman with Roses , where the two merge as if into one. Despite the 20th century’s many tumultuous peri - ods — or maybe because of them — artists of the diaspora continued to focus on flowers; perhaps no other subject is more universally and instantly ap - pealing — pleasing the eye, reinvigorating the sens - es, and providing respite from more psychologically charged subjects. The multiplicity of representation is as varied as the artists themselves. The soft lyricism of Vasyl Hryhorovych Krychevsky’s still lifes is surpassed only by the breathtaking scope of his output as architect, painter, graphic designer, and one of the principal founders of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts in 1917. Jacques Hnizdovsky — painter, sculp - tor, internationally renowned graphic artist, instantly recognizable master — was trained in the art acade - mies of Warsaw and Zagreb. Yet to understand his art, one need only know that he was born in the village of Pylypche in the Borshchiv region of Ukraine. His signa - ture botanical woodcuts are the pictorial equivalents of the rich, highly stylized regional designs of black on white and black on black (accented with vivid colors). This powerful sensibility extends to his oil painting Oleksa Novakivsky, Woman with Roses , n.d., oil on canvas on wood board (detail) Alla Johansen, Poppies , 1972, oil on canvas Nina Klymovska, Iris No. 20 , c. 1985, oil on canvas Our Life | Наше життя May | Травень 2021 18
