Kapschutschenko Exhibit

An exhibit of Ukrainian sculptor Petro Kapschutschenko’s work in bronze and terracotta will take place Tuesday, March 27 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the Bart Luedeke Center Fireside Lounge. The exhibit is entitled “Petro Kapschutschenko (1915-2006): Life’s Journey Through Sculpture.”

The University’s Slavic Club is presenting this one-day exhibit featuring bronze and terracotta sculptures by Kapschutschenko. This will be the first show in the United States since the sculptor’s passing in November 2006, and it will feature the private collections of his daughter, Ludmila Kapschutschenko-Schmitt, Rider professor of Spanish, Dr. Zenia Chernyk, and the Pastushak family. Professor Wolodymyr Karpinich will present a brief biographical sketch of Kapshutschenko’s life and work.

Kapschutschenko was born in Ukraine but emigrated to Argentina after World War II. This exhibit will allow the viewer to take a step back in time to the Ukrainian steppes where the Kozak brotherhood rode through the plains, and right into the rich and colorful culture of Argentina, Kapschutschenko’s adopted homeland.

Admission is free, and there will be a Ukrainian buffet. For information, contact Lada Pastushak at 215-364-1799 or lpastushak@yahoo.com.
