| Detail | The book is dedicated to a Ukrainian sculptor Vladislav Shcherbina who devoted 65 years of his life to creating porcelain figurines. V. Shcherbina worked as a sculptor at porcelain factories of Ukraine mainly during the Soviet period in the history of our country, small porcelain figures, souvenirs, articles of interior, services and vases being among his works. As Ukraine gained its independence in 1991, the porcelain industry found itself on the brink of collapse, which made V. Shcherbina start working in his private workshop using other materials – chamotte, bronze and wood. In 2007, when making kilns in the workshop became possible the artist resumed his work with his favourite material. A new stage, referred to as “author’s porcelain”, began in the artist’s professional activity. Vladislav Ivanovich Shcherbina was born in 1926 in the town of Voznyesyensk, Nikolayev region. As a child, he witnessed the tragic repressions of the 1930s, his stepfather being shot, while his mother being repressed. The boy was raised by his grandparents, who noticed his artistic inclinations and helped develop them. After 7 years of study in a junior school, the youth entered the Department of Sculpture of Odessa Art School named after Grekov. Upon graduation from the school in 1950, V. Shcherbina started working at one of the oldest porcelain factories in Ukraine – Gorodnitskii porcelain factory (Zhytomir region). Working there, he created a number of porcelain figures of partisans in a realistic style which was typical of indoor sculptures of that time. These figures were highly appreciated and exhibited in Moscow in 1951. The factory officials did not encourage the artist’s interest in sculpture for there was a great demand for utilitarian articles. Therefore, the ambitious novice accepted the invitation from Nikolai Mitin, the director of the porcelain factory in Baranovka (Zhytomir region), who was looking for young creative people to manufacture unique gift porcelain. Working in Baranovka, Vladislav Shcherbina made a number of sculptures and big gift vases, which proved him to be a master of big creative potential. V. Shcherbina was transferred to Kiev and took the position of a sculptor. In 1954, a new stage in the artist’s professional activity, the so-called “Kiev period”, began. He worked at Kiev Experimental Ceramics Art Factory, where he perfected his skills having become a comprehensive master of utilitarian and artistic porcelain. The sculptor made figurines for mass production which were manufactured at the factories of Ukraine. Keeping up with the latest tendencies in art V. Shcherbina, a skillful master of original porcelain figures, also made unique works of art intended for exhibitions. It was during this period of his life that V. Shcherbina determined his position as for his favourite artistic subjects – literature and fairy-tale characters, the history of the Soviet state, Russian and Ukrainian folklore, circus, naked female nature and animalistics. V. Shcherbina became a reputable artist among his colleagues, art critics and people involved in porcelain manufacturing. Due to his impeccable reputation and outstanding mastery V. Shcherbina was elected a member of the All-Union and the Republican Arts Council that approved the produce presented by the porcelain factories and recommended it for mass production. In 1988, the sculptor left the factory. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the new country was going through an unprecedented economic and political crisis. It was at that time that V. Shcherbina started making porcelain wares to order for small private businesses. Later, he started his own business making and selling his ceramics figurines in gift shops and at the fair in Andreyevskii Spusk in Kiev. This period in the artist’s life, which is called “intertemporal period”, made him more resistant to the hardships of life, his love for sculpture remaining unchanged. V. Shcherbina made chamotte mass from crushed bricks and clay, and kilned the figures in his workshop. Now it’s mythological and religious characters that the artist is interested in. In 2007, V. Shcherbina meets ceramics artist Maria Antropova who becomes an admirer of his talent and makes everything possible to help the great master resume his work. She makes kilns, gets the necessary raw materials to organize the production of small porcelain figurines in the master’s workshop. It’s in this period that the sculptor creates genuine exclusive porcelain. A diversity of composition solutions of sculptures and subjects, Ukrainian folklore taking the central part, is typical of this period. As V. Shcherbina says, he had a second breath. And it’s only now that the sculptor, not being limited by mass production requirements, can set his artistic imagination free. The book contains a catalogue of V. Shcherbina’s porcelain figurines embracing his entire professional activity. A list of exhibitions where the artist’s works were displayed as well as a list of literature and archival documents in which his works are mentioned or analyzed are also provided. /// /// |
