Hnat Khotkevych (1877-1938) is an artist of unprecedented scale in Ukrainian art culture: bandura player, writer, art critic, theatrical figure, historian, teacher, ethnographer, artist ... Ukrainian Leonardo da Vinci - this is how he seems today. With his creativity and organizational and creative activity he covered the whole of Ukraine - from Slobozhanshchyna to the Carpathians. Nothing - no material deprivation, no forced emigration, no persecution by the tsarist regime, no terror during the Soviet era - could quench his thirst for creativity. An artist of the Ukrainian shot Renaissance, a romantic in life and a seer in his work, his people needed him in the most difficult times for him. We, his descendants, who are building the Ukrainian state, also need it.
