  • Art Nouveau Ukrainian Architecture in a Global Context
    Art Nouveau Ukrainian Architecture in a Global Context Author(s): Nelia Romaniuk Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 6 (2019): 137–148 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ Art Nouveau Ukrainian Architecture in a Global Context Nelia Romaniuk Zhytomyr National Agroecological University, Department of History Abstract The article is dedicated to Ukrainian Art Nouveau architecture, which became a unique phenomenon in the development of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century architecture. Along with the reality that architecture in Ukraine evolved as a component of the European artistic movement, a distinctive architectural style was formed, based on the development of the traditions of folk architecture and ornamentation. This style produced much innovation in the shaping, decor, and ornamentation of buildings. Significant contributions to the development of architectural modernism in Ukraine were made by Opanas Slastion, Vasyl Krychevskyi, Yevhen Serdiuk, Oleksandr Verbytskyi, Serhii Tymoshenko, Oleksandr Lushpynskyi, Ivan Levynskyi, Dmytro Diachenko, and others. Ukrainian Art Nouveau architecture was represented by five main architectural styles: modernist, folkloric, rationalist, neo-baroque, and Vienna Secession. Due to an attainment of the possibilities embodied in the constructions, developed techniques, and in the design of interior space and external features — such as walls, roofs, doors and windows, columns and balustrades — this style formed its own expressive system, which included a significant number of socially significant types of buildings (dwellings, schools, hospitals, warehouses, government buildings, places of worship). The styles of Ukrainian architectural modernism have not exhausted their potential and may yet have a continuation in contemporary architecture and that of the future.

    JUNE 2 - 3, 2018 CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL programme guide CALGARYUKRAINIANFESTIVAL.CA CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL 2018! On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would like to welcome you to the NINTH Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival! Only one year away from a full decade of Festival activities! The momentum continues this year with an entirely new stage show format with even more performers than last. Have a look around at our collection of Ukrainian vendors from across the country. They bring everything from the latest Ukrainian European fashion trends to collectible “hard to find” Ukrainian artistry. Keep looking around the pavilion and take note of our new bar modeled after an 18th century Ukrainian house with thatch roofing. Imagine what it was like to raise a family in such a simple structure! Sitting at “Baba’s” kitchen table is a treat like nothing else. Enjoying the simplicity and tasteful helpings of traditional hand-made perogies and cabbage rolls. Nothing “store bought” on our Festival food plates. Finally, our Festival After-Hours event returns Saturday evening at 9:00pm. Open to all. Our performers will be out of their stage costumes and back into street clothes. Come spend the evening with those you saw on stage and meet a new friend. This year our live Ukrainian Zabava Band from Edmonton, Steppe, will play everything from the fastest polkas, to the coziest waltz. But don’t leave before 10:30pm because around that time you will witness the infamous Canadian Ukrainian tradition of the “Kolomyka”. The chance for ALL to display the best they have in Ukrainian dance solos.

  • National Originality of the Architecture of Khreshchatyk As a Unique Ensemble of the Period of Totalitarianism
    E3S Web of Conferences 33, 01039 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20183301039 HRC 2017 National originality of the architecture of Khreshchatyk as a unique ensemble of the period of totalitarianism Olena Oliynyk1* 1National Aviation University, Kiev, Ukraine, Kosmonavta Komarova Ave, 1, Kiev, 03680, Ukraine Abstract. Khreschatyk is a page apart in the history of world architecture. While it has a number of distinct characteristics of totalitarian architecture, Khreschatyk is the only architectural ensemble of the period to combine na- tional tradition with the exalted sentiment of Soviet architecture of the Stalin era. Also, it uniquely matched architecture and landscape. The façades has elements of Ukrainian baroque, which sets Khreschatyk apart from similar ensembles of the 1940s-1950s in other countries that mainly drew upon Ne- oclassicism or Modernism. While period architecture in other countries is typically marked by its grand scale and heavily accentuated civic spirit – complete with a denigration of the individual at the expense of the manifest greatness of Authority, Khreschatyk stand out for its pronounced harmony as an environment based on the careful preservation of old heritage, the skill- ful use of the landscape, and the introduction of traditional motifs, alongside an almost total lack of Soviet symbols. Unlike the grim grandness of totali- tarian architecture in other countries, the facades of the residential buildings that line Khreschatyk emanate joie de vivre and admiration for the fertility of Ukrainian soil. 1 Introduction The period of totalitarianism is perhaps the most dramatic not only in the history of Ukraine, but also all the countries of Eastern Europe.

The great churches of Kievan Rus', built after the adoption of christianity in 988, were the first examples of monumental architecture in the East Slavic region. The architectural style of the Kievan state, which quickly established itself, was strongly influenced by Byzantine architecture. Early Eastern Orthodox churches were mainly built from wood, with their simplest form known as a cell church. Major cathedrals often featured many small domes, which has led some art historians to infer how the pagan Slavic temples may have appeared.

  • The Annals of UVAN, Vol. I, Fall, 1951, No. 2
    WESTERN EUROPE AND THE UKRAINIAN BAROQUE AN ASPECT OF CULTURAL INFLUENCES AT THE TIME OF HETMAN IVAN MAZEPA OLEKSANDER OHLOBLYN Ukrainian Baroque architecture of Mazepa’s period has been ex­ tensively studied. Although outstanding monographs are lacking, numerous works by such Ukrainian scholars as H. Pavluckyj, K. Šyrockyj, F. Ernst, D. Antonovyč, V. Zaloziećkyj, and V. Sicynśkyj have established the main features of this architecture, have shown both Ukrainian and European origins of it, and have made some studies of individual monuments. The place of this “Cossack-Het- man” architecture in the history of art, together with its genesis and development, has been clearly defined. Hence a kind of scholarly canon has been set up, and all further work in this field conforms carefully to it, only elaborating details of the main outline. Prac­ tically no attempt has been made to return again to the source ma­ terial, in part because almost all the monuments of the Ukrainian Baroque period have been destroyed, and little interest is shown in new methods of research into what has become familiar. However, the latest researches into the times of Mazepa have raised many new problems in the fields of history and culture, and especially in architecture. The modern historian of that period is now attracted not only to further exploration of the different trends within the Ukrainian culture, but primarily to the elucida­ tion of the reciprocal cultural influences between Western Europe and the Ukraine. This new interest has not, as yet, led to any special comparative studies and has been somewhat hampered by the inaccessibility of the sources.

    PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by GEORGE S.N. LUCKYJ Taras Shevchenko A LI FE PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by George S.N. Luckyj Taras Shevchenko is undoubtedly Ukraine's greatest literary genius and national hero. His extraordinary life-story is recounted in this classic work by Pavlo Zaitsev. Born in 1814, the son of a poor serf, Shevchenko succeeded in winning his freedom and became an art student in St Petersburg. In 1847 he was arrested for writing revolutionary poetry, forced into the army, and exiled to deserted outposts of the Russian empire to undergo an incredible odys­ sey of misery for ten years. Zaitsev's re­ counting of Shevchenko's ordeal is a moving portrait of a man able not only to survive extreme suffering but to transform it into poetry that articulated the aspirations of his enslaved nation. To this day Ukrainians observe a national day of mourning each year on the anniversary of Shevchenko's death. Zaitsev's biography has long been recog­ nized by scholars as defmitive. Originally written and typeset in the 1930s, the manuscript was confiscated fro m Zaitsev by Soviet authori- ties when they annexed Galicia in 1939. The author still had proofs, however, which he revised and published in Munich in 1955. George luckyj's translation, the first in English, now offers this indispensable biography to a new audience. CEORCE S . N. LUCKYJ is Professor Emeritus of Slavic Studies, University of Toronto. He is the author of Literary Politics in tire Soviet Ukraine and Between Gogol and Shevclre11ko, and editor of Shm:henko and the Critics.
