Oleksandr Arkhipenko continues to fascinate and leave no one indifferent. However, the greatest merit of the Ukrainian artist to his native country is that his works not only expanded the concept of Ukrainianness, but also raised it to a cosmic level, so it will always be important for us to comprehend his artistic world in order to understand ourselves and our nation more deeply. Therefore, we invite everyone to a kind of journey into the past, to the origins of Oleksandr Arkhypenko's work in the Western Ukrainian artistic discourse of the 1920s and 30s, in order to fully experience the atmosphere of the last century and the mood of the time. The publication is addressed to art historians, journalists, students and all interested readers and contains more than 110 reproductions of works and photographs by Oleksandr Arkhypenko.
