The Kharkiv State School of Art (Ukrainian: Харківське державне художнє училище) is an educational institution in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Its subjects include painting, sculpture, design and decoration.
History
Formally opened in 1912, the Kharkiv Art School takes its roots back to Maria Raevskaia-Ivanova's private art school that was established in the city in 1896. The new school was opened in a new building designed in modernist style but with influences from the previous building (designed by K. Zhukov). The first director of the new school was Alexander Lubimov, a student of Ilya Repin, while school teachers were alumni of Repin's workshop at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg.
From 1913 the school was managed by Semyon Prohorov, who had been the principal of the Art School in Tomsk, Russia. From 1914, the school was headed by Gavriil Gorelov, and from 1916 by Aleksey Kokel. A faculty of architecture was added 1925. [1]
