The influence of Gustav Klimt in the artworks of this Ukrainian artist, Victor Zaretsky (1925-1990), is quite obvious. However, this does not mean that he just copied the works of the Austrian painter. Zaretsky developed his own artistic language, which made his paintings unique

34. Victor Zaretsky (1925-1990) born in Sumy
region is one of the most talented and famous
artists of Ukraine. He studied at the Kyiv Art
Institute and worked in the field of easel and
monumental painting. Since 1956, he is a
member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine. As
well as his wife, Alla Horska, he was one of the
“Sixtiers.” This is a name given in Ukraine to the
1960s group of artists who rejected the
principles of Socialist Realism with their creativity
and refused to let their artworks (paintings,
poems, plays, etc.) serve the interests of the
Soviet authorities. He organized his own studio of
arts, which he headed from 1978 to 1985 (in
his art studio studied more than 200 students).
He created the direction "Ukrainian Secession",
and the influence of Klimt in his artworks is quite
obvious. However, this does not mean that he just
copied the works of the Austrian painter.
Zaretsky developed his own artistic language,
which made his paintings unique.

Editor's Notes
Monumental panels "The Flag of Victory" and "The Race" were ordered for the Young Guard, or Molodaya Gvardiya, museum in Krasnodon. The panel was supposed to be the culmination of ideological and semantic, emotional and colorful center of attraction of the hall, which organizes the interior space. The mosaic has always been on the borderline of destruction because of fierce censorship of the time, strengthened by the expulsion of Alla Gorska from the Union of artists. Alla had to deny her authorship to save the work and avoid any trouble for her co-authors, Zaretskiy and Plaksiy (in favor of V. Smirnov - the architect of the project).
The museum was repaired substantially to commemorate the 70th birthday of the underground youth league.
