not been earlier noted on their Motherland. For the first time many facts from their creative work
together with artworks are promoted into the study of art. The article also reveals role and value
of the artistic heritage of the Diaspora artists in the national and world art development. The authors underline that the study of wood carving of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Diaspora
has not been thoroughly conducted so far. Especially, in this regard they indicate the lack of analyses
of
sacral
wood
carving
in
the
works
of
artists
from
the
Ukrainian
Diaspora
of
the
twentieth

century.
The
authors
conclude
that
the
artistic
legacy
of
Diaspora
artists
is
a
significant
contribution
to the revival
of the concept and further development of the Ukrainian sacral art.
The
most
vividly
the
works
of
Diaspora
artists
were
presented
in
three-dimensional
interior

design
of
Ukrainian
churches.
Many
Diaspora
artists
appealed
to
sacral
subjects,
but
only
several

of
them
managed
to
capture
centuries-old
tradition
of
relief
and
flat-plane
style
of
wood
carving
in

church
sculptures,
icons,
doors,
stalls,
etc.
Consequently,
the
article
deals
with
the
distinguished

work
of
Volodymyr
Balias,
Vasyl
Zalutskyi,
Ivan
Denysenko,
Serhiy
Makarenko
and
Vadym
Dobrolizh.
The
most
significant
achievements
in
the
field
of
wood
carving
were
represented
by
famous

artist
Mykhailo
Chereshnovsky,
whose
talent
is
clearly
revealed
in
the
three-dimensional
interior

design
of
the
wooden
church
of
Saint
John
the
Baptist
in
Hunter,
New
York
State
(1963-1964).
This

church
is
regarded
as
the
part
of
the
architectural
ensemble
of
the
open-air
museum
of
Ukrainian

wooden
architecture
in
the
United
States
and
as
the
masterpiece
of
traditional
building.
The
authors
of
the
article
mention
that
this
was
one
of
the
biggest
orders
which
Mykhailo
Chereshnovsky

had
to fulfil,
since
he
had
to
carve
the
iconostasis,
the
throne,
the
tabernacle,
the
cross,
the pulpit

for
sermons and the chandeliers («spider»).
Carving
the
interior
of
the
church,
Mykhailo
Chereshnovsky
mostly
used
geometric
carvings.

To
achieve
the
harmony
between
the
chiaroscuro
range
of
wood
carving
and
the
architecture,
the

artist
carved
the
iconostasis,
the
altar,
the
tabernacle,
the
chandelier,
the
tetrapod
and
the
lectern

from
the
same
cedar
wood
as
the
church
itself.
The
carved
wood
was
not
covered
neither
with
gold

nor
paint, allowing the artist to preserve
the natural beauty of the wood texture.
The
central
place
in
the
interior
church
decoration
of
the
Western
Diaspora
was
mainly
represented
by
the
iconostasis.
Its
carving
underwent
drastic
changes
both
in
Ukraine
and
in
the
Diaspora.
The
Diaspora’s
artists
continued
the
old
traditions
of
the
iconostasis
iconography,
design

and
decoration,
which
historically
developed
on
the
territory
of
Ukraine.
Hence,
the
achievements

of
these
artists
both
Ukrainian
and
those
from
the
Diaspora
are
widely
used
nowadays
by
modern

applied
art artists and icon painters)
