    Vasyl H. Krychevsky (1873-1952) was an outstanding Ukrainian architect, artist, scholar, and teacher. His contribution to the development of modern Ukrainian art and culture was great and diverse. He seemed to have come to us from the Renaissance Age.

    Krychevsky developed an architectural style called the Ukrainian. Modern; he was a subtle and prolific landscape painter; he set a new trend in the art of book design in Ukraine. He was a fine designer of theatrical settings; he was the art director of Alexander Dovzhenko's famous film Zvenigora. Krychevsky was also a scholar, an expert on Ukrainian folk arts and folk architecture; he studied ethnography and archeology. He was a professor of the Ukrainian State Academy of Arts and of various art institutes. Taking his inspiration from the Ukrainian folk arts, Krychevsky designed many articles of applied arts.

    In his book, Vadim Pavlovsky describes the life and work of this outstanding man.

    The main text in Ukrainian is preceded by an extensive summary in English; illustrations have captions both in English and in Ukrainian.

    В.ПАВЛОВСЬКИЙ

    Василь Григорович Кричевський (1873-1952) був видатний український архітект, мистець, вчений і педагог. Він дуже багато эробив для розвитку сучасного укра'інського мистецтва і культури взагалі, працюючи в найрізноманітніших ділянках. Цією різносторонністю свого таланту він нагадував мистців Ренесансу.

    Кричевський був архітект; він створив, на основі народного мистецтва, модерний український стиль будівництва. Він був блискучий і дуже плодовитий маляр краєвидів; він дав почин новітньому мистецтву оформлення української книги. Він був видатним театральним мистцем, він україніэував кінематографію на Україні і оформив славетний фільм Довженка "Звенигора". Кричевський був також вченим і досліджував українське народне мистецтва й будівництво, вивчав етнографію та археологію України. Він був педагогом - професором Української Державної Академії Мистецтв та різних мистецьких інститутів. Він працював у прикладному мистецтві: за його провктами виробляли килими, вибійки, меблі, вишивки, посуд - все це він творив, черпаючи свов надхнення з мистецької творчости українського народу.

    Монографія Вадима Павловського висвітлюе життя і творчість цієї незвичайної людини.
