Born the son of the esteemed literary scholar Yaroslav Hordynsky, Sviatoslav honed his artistic skills at various European institutions, including the Berlin Academy of Art and the Académie Julian in Paris. He co-founded ANUM in Lviv and participated in numerous exhibitions worldwide. After residing in Germany during World War II, he played a pivotal role in fostering Ukrainian art and culture, co-organizing USOM and contributing to the journal Ukrainian Art. Upon relocating to the United States in 1947, he led OMUA and left an indelible mark through his vibrant book cover designs, murals in Ukrainian churches across the globe, and artworks now housed in international museums and private collections.Hryhorii Kruk (1911-1988) was a sculptor of immense talent and a staunch modernist. His artistic journey led him through prestigious institutions in Lviv, Cracow, and Berlin, where he honed his craft under the guidance of renowned mentors. Settling in Munich after World War II, Kruk dedicated himself to sculpture and rapidly gained recognition, with over 200 of his remarkable works exhibited across Europe and North America. His sculptures exuded a sense of immediacy and instinctive expression, transcending traditional norms. Rooted in his peasant heritage, his art conveyed earthy massiveness, robust vitality, and a deep connection to the land. Kruk's portfolio featured an array of subjects, including portraits, peasants, monks, Cossacks, musicians, and women. Notable figures like Pope Paul VI and Cardinal Yosyf Slipy were among his subjects. His captivating drawings, celebrated for their spontaneity, have been compiled in a dedicated album.Antin Pavlo (1905-1954), a renowned Ukrainian sculptor, received his artistic education at the Lviv Art-Industrial School and studied painting under the guidance of Olexa Nowakiwsky. He actively participated in exhibitions organized by the Society of Art Lovers and was a member of the Duck Fate artist group. After the conclusion of World War II, A. Pavlo embarked on a journey that led him first to Germany and eventually to the United States, where he resided until his passing. His artistic career began with the creation of small terracotta figures and busts, often featuring animals. However, he later shifted his focus to historical subjects, crafting designs for monuments and sculpting busts of notable figures like A. Novakovsky, T. Shevchenko, B. Khmelnitsky, Mazepa, Prince Roman Galitsky, and King Daniil Galitsky, among others. Notably, Pavlo's exceptional talent shone brightest in his female figurines and torsos, exemplified by works such as "Girl" and "Mother."Bohdan-Mykola Mukhin (1916-1962), an accomplished Ukrainian sculptor, left his homeland due to 20th-century political upheavals but maintained a strong Ukrainian identity in his artistry abroad. He focused on Ukraine's romantic historical past, particularly the princely era and the Cossack state, in works like "The Fame," "Prince Ihor," and "Volodymyr Velykyi." Mukhin's sculptures were known for their dynamism and precision, especially in portraying horses, reflecting his Donetsk roots. He received his artistic education in Ukraine and further developed his craft in Germany and the United States after World War II. Mukhin's works, often featuring Cossack themes, exuded movement and emotional depth. Despite the challenges of exile, his sculptures remain an enduring part of Ukrainian art heritage.
