One day the king showed the pictures to a great painter who lives in this country and asked: “I want to know what you think of my pictures. Do you like them? Am I a good painter or not?” The painter looked at the king’s pictures and said, “My king, I think that your pictures are bad, and that you will never be a good painter. ”The king was very angry and sent the painter to the prison. After two years the king wanted to see the painter again. “I was very angry with you,“ he said, “because you didn’t like my pictures. Now forget all about it. You are a free man again, and I am your friend.”
For many hours the king talked to the painter and even invited him to dinner. After dinner the king showed his pictures to the painter and asked: “Well, how do you like them now?” The painter didn’t answer. He turned to the soldier who was standing near him and said,”Take me back to the prison.”

Step 10. Listening. Track 28. Ex.4, p.110. Listen and read the article and pay attention to the words in bold:
A As for as the development of art of painting in Ukraine is concerned, one should remember that the early period referred to icon-painting, that began to develop in Kyivan Rus in the end of the 10th century after Prince Volodymyr had baptized the state. Icon painters – mostly monks – depicted Christ, the Virgin, angels and saints. Byzantine traditions were a model. Mosaic and frescos of St Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv is one of the most distinguished among the memorials of that period. The icon ‘The Virgin of Volyn’ which is regarded as a masterpiece belongs to the period of the Old-Rus State the Halychyna-Volyn’.
B Portrait painting as a separate genre appeared during the Renaissance (the 16th century) and was strongly influenced by the icon tradition. The first portraits included portrayals of nobles and Cossack chiefs.
C Many Ukrainian painters were attracted to the new Academy of Arts in St Petersburg (1757), which cultivated the classical style of painting then popular in Europe. Well-known Ukrainian artists of that period are D.Levytskyi, K.Holovachevskyi, V.Borovykovskyi.
D Ukrainian art of the middle of the 19th century was closely connected with the name of
T. Shevchenko, who devoted most of his painting to Ukrainian interests. He was considered the father of modern Ukrainina painting. Shevchenko painted numerous portraits, self-portraits and landscapes with many architectural monuments of Ukraine. During the 19th century landscape painting appeared as a separate genre, and not only in the works of Shevchenko. Inspired by romanticism, I.Sochenko, A.Kuinszhi, I.Aivazovskyi, S.Vasylkivskyi and I.Pokhytonov devoted their efforts to depicting rural scenery at it most beautiful.
E At that time Ukraine was called East European Italy. Artists from Russia and European countries visited Ukraine to enrich themselves with new themes and images. One of such artists was Vasyl Schternberg, a friend of Shevchenko, a master of lyrical landscape.
F Odesa art school and Kyiv drawing school occupied an important place at the beginning of the 20th century. Outstanding artists such as Mykola Murashko and Mykola Pymonenko were prominent representatives of that time. Some artists of Ukrainian origin who taught in Kyiv school were Mikhail Vrubel, Vasilii Vasnitsov and Illia Repin.
G Ukrainian art of the turn of the 20th century could not avoid the influence of the leading European art trends – impressionism and avant-garde tendencies. Kharkiv school of 1910-1930, where artists were under the influence of constructivism, was notable for its originality. It was represented by A.Petrytskyi and V.Yermylov. O.Eksteer spread the ideas of cubiform futurism in painting and worked in Kyiv. O.Bohomazov experimented with abstraction, Yurii Mykhailiv continued the traditions of the symbolists. Worldwide known Kazimir Malevich spoke of the influence of Ukrainian baroque and icon painting on his works. An original phenomenon of the early 20th century was Mykhailo Boichuk Art School. It combined the traditions of folk picture, local primitive painting and the principle of religion art.
H Ukrainian art of Soviet period is represented by many talented painters: T.Yablonska, Y.Bokchai, O.Shovkunenko, R.Selskyi, S.Shyshko, V.Zaretskyi and many others. M.Pryimachenko became a unique phenomenon having no analogues in world art. She is considered as a classic of Ukrainian folk art.
I Present-day Ukrainian art is developing in harmony with world art. National theme remains topical in painting – in thematic and historic pictures, landscapes, associative and formalistic works.
