NATALIA KOTSYUBYNSKA - A BROKEN LIFE (1896s-1937s)
(Review of the publication «Khodak, I. O. Natalia Kotsyubynska and the Cabinet of Ukrainian Art of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (on the history of national art history of the 1920s – early 1930s. Kyiv: IMFE im. M. T. Rylʹsʹkoho; Kharkiv: Vydavetsʹ Oleksandr Savchuk, 2017. 448 р. 114 il.»)
Reviewing the publication of Khodak I. O. «Natalia Kotsyubynska and the Cabinet of Ukrainian Art of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (on the history of national art history of the 1920s – early 1930s»), V. Tkachenko noted that the scientific-documentary publication is relevant and necessary given the study of biography Kotsyubynska and a cohort of art critics of the 1920s – 1930s.
Also, the work is important to reveal the history of the formation of Ukrainian art history and institutional institutions, which was the Cabinet of Ukrainian Art of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and others. Relevant work reveals another white spot in the history of Ukrainian science. It is noted that to this day a significant number of unique materials (epistolary, manuscripts, diaries) related to the name of N. Kotsyubynska and the activities of the Cabinet remains unexplored. The introduction of documents into scientific circulation will allow to expand the understanding and knowledge of the art history of Ukrainian scientists in the 20s - 30s of the twentieth century. Summing up, the reviewer noted that such a publication is a significant contribution to the study of both the personality of N. Kotsyubynska and the history of Ukrainian art history.
Key words: Natalia Kotsyubynska, Cabinet of Ukrainian Art, All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, publications, archive, letters, documents.
