The new exhibition The Impact of Modernity: Late 19th and Early 20th Century Ukrainian Art presents works never before shown that were recently donated to The Ukrainian Museum`s permanent collection of fine art by Dr. Jurij Rybak and Anna Ortynskyj. The artworks range from classics of the late 19th and early 20th century to avant-garde experimental art of 1910–1930, from works produced in Ukraine (some prior to World War I and some during the interwar period) to others produced in the United States by artists who emigrated from Ukraine. Myroslav Shkandrij, Professor of Slavic Studies at the University of Manitoba, is the guest curator. He has previously curated exhibitions of avant-garde art and written extensively on twentieth-century Ukraine. The Impact of Modernity opened to the public on November 17, 2019, and will remain on view through May 3, 2020. Dr. Rybak assembled the collection with his wife Anna Ortynskyj by
