Hryhorii Havrylenko
Hryhorii Havrylenko was a Ukrainian artist, a representative of Ukrainian avant-garde art, and part of the Sixtiers generation.
He was born in 1927. After the family's property was confiscated in 1930, they fled to Georgia. Later, his father was sent to a labor camp. Following these events, Hryhorii’s mother returned with the children to their native village, where they were given shelter. Eventually, the family resettled in Hlukhiv, Sumy region.
From 1945 to 1949, Havrylenko studied at the Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State Art School, and from 1949 to 1955, he studied first in the painting department and later in the graphics department of the Kyiv Art Institute.
In the early 1960s, he briefly taught at the Kyiv Art Institute, but soon was dismissed for ideological reasons. Havrylenko worked in easel painting, easel, and book graphics, creating landscapes and portraits.
The artist participated in republican, all-Union, and international art exhibitions from 1955 onward, including exhibiting in Leipzig in 1965. Solo exhibitions were held in Kyiv in 1974 and 1980.
Hryhorii Havrylenko passed away in 1984.

Description
This painting belongs to the collection of the Nykanor Onatskyi Regional Art Museum in Sumy.
The primary theme developed by Hryhorii Havrylenko over the years was the theme of life in nature and humanity, embodied in the image of a woman as the poetic essence of the world. These themes often evolved into unique series and cycles. As a result, works emerged with associative, painterly, and philosophical content.
The triptych "Summer" belongs to this category. To create a symbolic image, the artist employs a flat, decorative painting style. A limited palette of rich, greenish hues, applied to the canvas with energetic, layered brushstrokes, conveys the poetic beauty of nature as if smiling at the image of humanity. In this work, the heroine is depicted in the central part of the composition, serving as a symbolic vertical, the pillar of the world. Through this, the artist reveals the enduring unity of the physical and spiritual realms, as well as a unique interpretation of theme and narrative, both of which are symbolic.
