In the summer of 2009, on the eve of the poet’s centenary, Ihor Kalynets set out to write a short article about how a cross and monument appeared at the grave—and the material expanded into a biographical sketch. The chapters follow Antonych’s life: childhood in Lemko-Rusyn Lvivshchyna, gymnasium and university, the Ukrainian Studies Circle, the Levandivska Prosvita, friends, illness, funeral, portrait, grave, fiancée Olha Oliinyk, and the fate of the archive. The “Appendices” include memories from the Blue Lady, letters from Olha Oliinyk to Fr. Iosyp Kladonnyi and Mykola Neverlyyi, and materials on the public memorial service at the poet’s grave.

The series was intended to be published as a separate edition by the Kharkiv publishing house “Rukh”, but the wave of repression that began in 1933 swept up many of the sitters and made the publication of the book impossible; most of the portraits were destroyed.

He worked most intensively in the portrait genre between 1922 and 1932; from the mid-1930s, under the pressure of circumstances, he focused on theatrical painting.
