Untitled, steel founders, 1967, monotype on paper, 12 1/2 x 19 inches, signed and dated lower right. Mykola Glushchenko is a graduate of the Academy of Art in Berlin (1924). In 1925, he worked in Paris where he immediately attracted the attention of French critics. From the New Objectivity style of his Berlin period he changed to post-Impressionism. In the 1960s, having come into close contact with new artistic trends on his trips abroad, he revitalized his paintings with expressive colours, as shown here, and assumed a leading position among Ukrainian colorist painters. Glushchenko's work was exhibited in Berlin (1924), Paris (five exhibits 1925–34), Milan (1927), Budapest (1930, 1932), Stockholm (1931), Rome (1933), Lviv (1934, 1935), Moscow (1943, 1959), Belgrade (1966, 1968), London (1966), Toronto (1967–9), and Kyiv (over 10 exhibits).
