history

The National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture was founded as a successor to the Ukrainian Academy of Arts on December 18, 1917 in Kiev with the main purpose of teaching art based on national traditions and world culture. The academy offered local talented youth the opportunity to obtain higher education within Ukraine and was the nucleus for the emergence and development of modern education in the field of fine arts in Ukraine. The first rector was the painter Fedir Krychevskyi , his successor was the painter and graphic artist Heorhij Narbut , followed in 1920 by Mychajlo Bojchuk .

In 1922 the Academy became the Institute for Fine Arts and in 1924 it merged with the Ukrainian Architecture Institute, founded in 1918, to form the Kiev Art Institute . On October 1, 1928, 103 professors were teaching more than 800 students. For a short time the institute became one of the leading art schools in the former Soviet Union . However, the emergence of various art movements, the struggle for hegemony in art, and increased ideological pressure ruined the success. In 1930 there was another restructuring in the spirit of the proletarian cult and was divided into the following departments: art and propaganda , decoration of proletarian life ; Sculpture decorations of socialist cities and communist artistic training . In the late 1930s there was a return to academic principles of education. Many well-known artists fell victim to the repression in 1937.

With Ukraine's independence, a process of revitalizing national cultural traditions and restructuring of higher education began. On the 75th anniversary of the academy in December 1992, the school got its original name back and after the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine since 1998 it was the Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture until it received the status of a National Academy in September 2000 and became since then called the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture .
