Ukrainian Modernism, 1900–1930: a Reappraisal H-Ukraine Ukrainian Modernism, 1900–1930: A Reappraisal Discussion published by Kristina Conroy on Friday, October 16, 2020 Seminar in Ukrainian Studies | Book Talk | Ukrainian Research Institute, Harvard University Wednesday, November 18, 2020, 12:00pm to 1:30pm Live on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oJ4vm5Jhgxo Panelists: George G. Grabowicz, Myroslava M. Mudrak, and Vita Susak; introduced by Michael S. Flier and moderated by Halyna Hryn View on HURI website A l o o k a t t h e d e v e l o p i n g f i e ld of Ukrainian modernism in the aftermath of a series of publications and conferences beginning in the late 1980s, revisited by the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute's conference in 2007, and examined anew in the most recent issue of Harvard Ukrainian Studies (Vol. 36, No. 3-4, 2019). Special emphasis is placed on the cultural breakthrough and new avenues of research arising from the conference, including modernism's interface with socialist realism, the interplay of visual art and poetry, the Hylean futurism of David Burliuk, and the artistic legacy of Alexander Archipenko.

He has devoted special attention to the structure and function of Surzhyk, a Ukrainian-Russian linguistic hybrid. In medieval studies he has analyzed high culture and its interaction with iconography, architecture, ritual, and political culture. His current projects include a monograph on the semiotics of the Apocalypse in medieval Rus’, and an introduction and edition of the English translation of the Rus’ Primary Chronicle (Pověst’ vremennyx lět) by the late Horace Lunt.

These include century artist Michel [Mychajlo] Alexis Gritchenko [Ukr.: Oleksa Andreenko (1894-1982) and work Hryshchenko] (1883-1977), Sophia by a selection of his contemporary Zarytska [-Omelchenko] (1887 or 1903-1972), Severyn Borachok (1898-1975), Mykola Hlushchenko (1901-1977), Mykola Butovych (1895-1961), Mykhailo Moroz (1902- 1993), Andriy Solohub (1922-2010), Liuboslav Hutsaliuk (1923-2003) and Themostocle Wirsta (1923-2017). Andreenko exhibited with some of these artists repeatedly, others once, or not at all. They were friends, acquaintances, and professional colleagues whose work and lives intersected - through a complicated network of exhibitions, cultural/ national affinity, and professional support, over a long period of extremes.

  • Alexis Gritchenko'nun Konstantinopolis Anlatısı
    Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı Journal of Art History Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı - Journal of Art History 30, (2021): 1-27 DOI: 10.26650/sty.2021.876268 Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article Bizans Pembesi: Alexis Gritchenko’nun Konstantinopolis Anlatısı Byzantine Pink: Alexis Gritchenko’s Narrative of Constantinople 1 Emir Alışık ÖZ 1919 Kasım'ı ile 1921 Nisan'ı arasını İtilaf kuvvetlerinin işgali altındaki İstanbul'da geçiren Ukraynalı ressam Alexis Gritchenko (Oleksa Hryshchenko), 1923’te Paris’te Constantinople Bleu et Rose (Konstantinopolis Mavi ve Pembe) sergisini açtı ve 1930’da halen yaşadığı Paris’te İstanbul’da tuttuğunu söylediği günlüğünü yayımladı. Günlük’te Bizans Konstantinopolis’ine, onun tarihine, kültürüne, sanatına, mimarisine dair pek çok bilgi verir. Gritchenko’nun aktarımları hem güncel tarihyazımına hem de kişisel gözlemlerine dayanır ve tüm bunları duyusal bir deneyim olarak sunar. Gözlemleriyle beslediği tarih bilgisi, Günlük’te antik, Bizans ve Osmanlı’dan parçalar taşıyan eklektik ve tarihdışı bir Konstantinopolis olarak karşımıza çıkar. Gritchenko, Bizantinizm olarak değerlendirilebilecek eserler üreten modernist bir ressamdır, bu yönüyle çağının bir temsilcisidir; Vladimir Tatlin, Vasily Kandinsky gibi Gritchenko da Bizans sanatı üzerine düşünmüştür. Gritchenko’nun sözlü betimindeki duyusallık ve eklektik tarih algısı İstanbul’da ürettiği resimlerde de gözlenebilir. Özellikle şehrin Bizans surları ve Ayasofya’yı tasvir ettiği eserlerde Bizans ve Osmanlı ögeleri iç içe geçer. Gritchenko’nun Günlük’te kurguladığı Tarihi Yarımada, mekânları, yapıları, insanları ve onların gündelik hayatlarıyla tarihin akışının dışında kalmış, ancak tüm parçaları birbiriyle uyum içinde kurgulanmış fantastik atmosferiyle bir hierotopos’tur. Bu yazıda Günlük’te Bizans tarihi, yapıları ve kültürüne yapılan atıflar saptanmış ve bunlar hem çağdaş hem de Gritchenko’nun erişimi olabilecek yazın çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir.

Some of the material in these files dates back to the late nineteenth century. The Pamphlet Files are often the only record that a gallery or organization existed. They are not catalogued, and there are no references to them in our online catalogue. The files include exhibition brochures, fliers, small exhibition catalogues, gallery announcements, newsletters and other ephemera relating predominately to New York City and state galleries, museums, colleges and universities, professional associations, foundations, non-profit organizations, and other arts organizations. In addition, there are files for one-time arts events and movements, such as “New York State Exposition” and “Art for Peace.” Unless otherwise noted, all files originated from one of the five boroughs of New York City. The list of entries is arranged in alphabetical order; for galleries that have a given name and a surname, i.e. “Martha Jackson Gallery,” the entry will be alphabetized according to the first name.

The following four extracts are from letters between Pavel, a citizen of Samara, Russia, and John, a citizen of Los Angeles, USA. The correspondence dates from January, 2018, and is translated from the Russian. As the recent summit has indicated, Russia and the USA are seeking ideological and cultural reciprocity and the interchange below demonstrates that the two regimes already have much in common. 1. Dear John, As for the “new rituals” of shopping, you are absolutely right. Of course, in no way can I compare the consumerist passion in the West (I have never been there) with ours, but in Russia it has grown to menacing dimensions. Rogue offices offering “micro-credits’ have popped up and more and more people borrow two or three thousand rubles to buy foodstuffs so as to make it through to the next payday – which is why we have massive poverty.

In their native countries they were satiated with academic art which rarely took into consideration the previous picto­ rial tradition and the colorful imagery of folk art, and they saw on the Paris horizons the gleam of new trends. Impres­ sionism was already a consummated style, Cezanne had long ago decomposed the object into a correlation of forms, lines, colors and facture, and now it became possible to create art without copying nature or repeating the old formulas.
