Tetyana Yablonska |
|
Born 24 February, 1917, SmolenskA painter celebrated throughout Ukraine, Tetyana Yablonska was a pupil in Fedir Krichevsky's studio at the Kyiv Art Institute from 1935 to 1941. It was here that she developed her idea of painting – colour and form – these forming the two principal components of her plastic thinking. The artist entered the art scene in the 1940s and soon established herself as an original and outstanding artist. She became the leader of many young Ukrainian artists in pursuit of new styles and it was this search for novel imagery and plastic means which lends a lasting appeal to her work; it seems fresh and of the moment. The themes of Yablonska's work embrace various subjects yet peace and work, emotional motifs of the happiness of motherhood and the joy of youth, the wisdom of the old and their sorrows figure frequently. |

Like any genuine innovator in art, the artist's creativity goes beyond the confines of the Procrustean bed of established notions and conceptions. Fortunately in Yablonska's case, her skill was quickly acknowledged and she never failed to impress art historians and critics. Her legacy is one of experimentation and an insatiable drive to discover new methods and effects. When she was young she was awarded to USSR state prizes but she was never content to sit back on her achievements, her continued search to explore new artistic experiences informing and encouraging a whole new generation of artists. |
