Hennadiy Malyshev

1922–1999 Landscape and still-life painter

Hennadiy Iosypovych Malyshev painted the sea as though it breathed. Rich brushwork, Black Sea light — sixty years of work that, until recently, remained in a private collection.

He lived through the war as a combatant, decorated with the Order of the Patriotic War. He found art afterward: in 1955 he graduated from the Odesa Art School, where he studied under Leonid Muchnyk — the same teacher who trained Lomykin.
