SHEVCHENKO THE ARTIST

Lecture-presentation by Lyudmyla Pogoryelova (in Ukrainian)

Saturday, March 9, 2024 at 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM, Shevchenko Museum, 1604 Bloor Street West, Toronto

Taras Shevchenko is known and honoured, worldwide, as a poet, philosopher, founder of the Ukrainian literary language, and fighter for people's rights and freedoms. But not everyone knows that he was a highly-accomplished artist.

Yet, over his relatively short life, Shevchenko created almost 1,200 oil paintings, watercolours, sepias, pen and ink and pencil drawings, as well as etchings.

This Ukrainian-language presentation is an excursion through the artistic legacy of Taras Shevchenko.
