The Imaginative World of Heorhii Narbut and the Making of a Ukrainian Brand
To mark the centenary of Heorhii Narbut’s death and his place as a highly regarded graphic design artist of Ukrainian Modernism, Professor Myroslava Mudrak was inspired to research and write her monograph, The Imaginative World of Heorhii Narbut and the Making of a Ukrainian Brand. As stated by Professor Mudrak, “ Narbut proved himself to be that instinctively cultivated figure who could pull the whole history of Ukrainian art into a stabilizing moment in order to lay the foundation for its further development.” Narbut took the symbols of centuries-old images of culture and tradition and creatively instilled “those newfound iconic tropes of Ukraine’s heritage with a modern independent spirit.”
