Presentation of the monograph by Andriy Puchkov"The First Ukrainian Art Critic Hryhorii Pavlutsky"

"This is an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and scientific work of the first Ukrainian art historian Hryhorii Hryhorovych Pavlutsky (1861-1924), Honoured Professor of the Faculty of History and Philology at the Imperial University of St. Vladimir. The author shows the ways in which Pavlutsky as a scholar and teacher had an undisputed primacy in the Russian Empire: the introduction of the comparative (historical and comparative) method in art history research; teaching world art after the era of Greece and Rome at the university level; formation of theoretical and historical foundations of Ukrainian monument studies; the introduction of the term "Ukrainian Baroque"; and a comprehensive study of the history of Ukrainian ornamentation.The book is illustrated with photographs from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, portraits of Pavlutsky's contemporaries and colleagues (some of them presented for the first time), reproductions of his paintings and drawings, covers and title pages (sometimes with inscriptions) of his works, and contains all of Pavlutsky's iconography known to the author.The design is based on ornaments by Vasyl Krychevsky. Layout and design by the author.
The publication was made possible thanks to the sincere efforts of Kateryna Stanislavska, Svitlana Kulinska, Oleh Yunakov, and Mykhailo Selivachov.
