Thursday, April 27, 6 – 8 p.m. Opening of the Exhibitions Janet Sobel: Wartime and Lesia Khomenko This spring and summer, the Mu - seum is presenting the work of two intriguing women artists, generations apart and yet equally relevant and influential. Janet Sobel: Wartime puts the spotlight on the rediscovered Ukrainian American folk artist who influenced the New York art world in the 1930s and 1940s. This will be the first museum ex - hibition focusing on Sobel’s early work, which incorporated vari - ous Ukrainian images and motifs. Over fifty drawings, from 1937 to 1945, will highlight her rise to much-talked-about and promi - nent artist. This important peri - od in Sobel’s artistic career posi - tioned her to be included in the ground-breaking Ninth Street Art Exhibition (1951), which marked the formal debut of Abstract Ex - pressionism, the first American art movement with international influence. Sobel was one of only three women included in the show. Lesia Khomenko is an acclaimed contemporary painter from Ukraine who since the russian invasion has been the focus of global media attention and dis - cussion. This will be her first mu - seum exhibition in North Ameri - ca, and it will include large-scale paintings made specifically for the Museum. Khomenko, whose artworks have mocked Soviet Socialist Realism’s erroneous at - tempt to create a perfect utopi - an society and fantasy people, has probed past state-sanctioned creativity and its long-lasting im - pact on current artistic practices. Both exhibitions will be on view through September 2, 2023. This opening event is exclusively for Museum members. To enjoy all the privileges and benefits of being a member of The Ukrainian Museum, including free admis - sion, discounts on events and on purchases at the Museum shop, and a bi-weekly member news - letter, sign up on the Museum’s website, www.theukrainianmu - seum.org (Visit > Membership), or call the Museum at 212-228- 0110.
