Ivan Trush

The commemorative coin is dedicated to Ivan Trush, an artist, a founder of the realist movement in Western Ukrainian pictorial art, a fine art expert, an art and literature critic, and a publisher. Ivan Trush is an author of a lyrical series of landscape pictures and life portraits of Vasyl Stefanyk, Lesia Ukrainka, Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky, Pavlo Zhytetsky, Mykhailo Drahomanov, Mykola Lysenko and many others. He also created over 250 great paintings, which include Sunset in the Forest, Dnipro near Kyiv, Moonlight Night above the Sea, Taras Shevchenko’s Grave in Kaniv, etc. The artist’s legacy is a valuable contribution to the history of Ukrainian fine arts.
