Reference: Mykola Hlushchenko is a Ukrainian painter and one of the most famous artists of the Ukrainian diaspora of the interwar period, whose early activities are associated with the support of Ukrainian emigration circles in Berlin and Paris, in particular, with collaboration with Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Pavlo Skoropadsky, and Roman Smal-Stotsky. Despite difficult political circumstances, Hlushchenko consistently represented Ukrainian culture abroad and developed the national artistic tradition in the European environment. His creative heritage includes landscapes, portraits, and thematic series marked by the synthesis of European modernism and the Ukrainian canon of painting. The artist's works are kept in leading museums in Ukraine and the world, and a collection of 1,250 works was transferred to state funds by his will, becoming one of the largest author's arrays in Ukrainian art of the 20th century.
