Description
The monograph "UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF ART. History of Foundation and Founders" is divided into two parts. The first part explores the research and chronology of events in 1917 and the "complete process" of establishing the first higher art school in Ukraine, from the writing of the Statute to the election of the first rector, Fedir Krychevsky. The second part, illustrated, presents the works of the Academy's first professors - Georgiy Narbut, Vasyl Krychevsky, Fedir Krychevsky, Oleksandr Murashko, Mykhailo Boychuk, Abram Manevich, Mykola Burachek, and Mykhailo Zhuk - which were exhibited at the inaugural exhibition in December 1917, marking the opening of the Academy of Arts. This important book is not only about reconstructing events in the history of Ukrainian art but also about the role of elites in the development of artistic, civic, and state institutions.
