Vladimir Mikita, Ukraine

[Altim]

Vladimir Mikita - one of the most outstanding masters of the older (already outgoing, alas) generation of Ukrainian artists. Born in 1931, Student A. Erdelyi, I. Bocsa (NH USSR), F. Manaylo (NH USSR). Lives and works in Uzhgorod. It is called the Carpathian Roerich. The artist-philosopher, deeply religious man, prayed before the picture writing, their work is strictly not sell. He wants to leave behind a memorial museum.
Mikita - the most titled of living artists zakarpattsev: People's Artist of Ukraine, winner of the Regional Prize. A. Erdelyi and I. Bocsa, laureate of State Prize of Ukraine. TG Shevchenko, member of the Academy of Arts of Ukraine, Commander of the Order of Yaroslav the Wise. He - the third in the Transcarpathian academic art in history (the first two - born in Transcarpathia I. Grabar, A. Bokotey (Rector of the Lviv Academy of Arts). His work is devoted to more than 200 publications.
Generally, when an artist does not let his work on the commercial market, it is difficult to judge its investment potential. But I personally have here is exactly the case when there is still the behavior of our current market. When I started to collect paintings from zakarpattsev on it "jammed" - searching for and bought almost everything on it offered. Sobral more than 20 works, half - someone's former presents with inscriptions of the author.
Deign. A Ukrainian painting does not happen.
PS: with all this in the Top-100 of Ukrainian artists posted on this forum, it is not. Curiosity, of course :-)
