Anatoliy Kryvolap and the Ukrainian Sublime

Anatoliy Kryvolap and the Ukrainian Sublime is the first book in the English-language series, Ukrainian Art in Transition, about art and artists in contemporary Ukraine. Ukrainian painter Anatoliy Kryvolap is famous in his own country and sells actively on the international auction block, but his work and history are little known to a wider audience. Anatoliy Kryvlop and the Ukrainian Sublime introduces an English-speaking audience to his vibrant, layered landscapes, detailing Kryvolap's story as a traditionally trained Soviet artist who surreptitiously broke all the rules until independence allowed him to become a symbol of the new Ukraine. A brief biographical essay and critical review of his work by art historian and curator Jennifer Cahn is following by full-color images of his recent paintings.

Jennifer Cahn, Ph.D. is an art historian, musicologist, and independent curator writing on modern and contemporary Ukrainian, Russian and Soviet art and museums. In 2012–13, Cahn was a Fulbright Scholar in Kyiv, Ukraine lecturing on museology and traveling exhibitions. She has a forthcoming monograph on Texas artist David Freeman.
