Ivan Kurach (1909 – 1968) Ukranian-Italian lived and studied in Italy. Born in the Ukraine, Kurach (or Kuracie) studied in the academies of Lviv, Warsaw, and Berlin. He then moved to Italy, continuing his studies in Rome and then Milan. Despite his emigration, the Ukraine and her people never left his art.

Well known both in Europe and in the United States, his paintings are found in famous private collections and in museums all over the world. He spent most of his time between his studios of New York City and Milan, Italy. His work is another example of how very modern technique and sensitivity can freely fuse into the rigid rule of the most beautiful Italian pictorial tradition.

A soldier in World War II, he was a faithful interpreter of that tragic period; with gray and somber colors, with sad visions, he portrayed those days with force and meaning.
