Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze and elucidate the development, contradictions, and influences of Ukrainian artists in America, focusing on the theoretical and practical contributions of Sviatoslav Hordynsky to both American and Ukrainian art traditions. The methodology employed includes a comprehensive historical analysis of archival materials, a comparative analysis of Ukrainian and American artworks, a thematic analysis of recurring motifs in Hordynsky's writings and works, and an interpretative analysis of critical reviews and scholarly articles on Ukrainian artists in America. The main findings reveal how Ukrainian artists integrated into and influenced the American art scene, adapting their styles while maintaining their cultural identity. The study highlights Hordynsky's role in bridging Ukrainian and American art traditions, showcasing his contributions to the development of a unique Ukrainian-American artistic identity. Furthermore, it uncovers the intellectual and artistic currents that shaped the creative processes of Ukrainian artists in America, emphasizing the significance of national identity and cultural integration. In conclusion, this research provides a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions between Ukrainian and American art traditions in the second half of the twentieth century, underlining the pivotal role of Hordynsky in this cultural exchange. The study contributes to the broader discourse on the evolution of art in diasporic contexts and the preservation of cultural heritage amidst dynamic socio-political landscapes
