ALEXANDER •* *#» •- (i) OEFERENCE on these pages last week to the current exhibit in Chicago (Katherine Kuh Gallery, 540 North Michigan Avenue) of the works of Alexander Archipenko, has* elicited a number of inquiries from our readers about this great Ukrainian American sculptor and painter. From these inquiries it is quite apparent that our readers know very little about this man whose works are exhibited hi the principal museums throughout the world, who has a host of imitators in all countries, and who has sculptured busts of three great Ukrainians, Volodhnir the Great, Taras Shevthenko, and Ivan' Franko, as well as a bronze plaque repre senting Ukraine. One of the best accounts of Archipenko the man and the artist ap- j peared in a book published back in 1930 but Which today is as timely accurate, add vivid as it was them It is C. J.
