This archeographic research presents three unpublished works on Art History written by Mykhaуlo Kushnir – a prominent Ukrainian graphic artist, art philosopher and public figure in exile. The papers are most likely to have been written during his teaching at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Washington D.C. The manuscripts are kept in the archive funds of the Ukrainian Museum and Library in Stamford. Two of the works, «On the Ukrainian Cultural Activities in Diaspora» and «The Threats of the American Mass Culture to the Ukrainian Diaspora Self-Identification» are focused on the basic methods of analyzing the philosophy of the Ukrainian art of that time – painting, literature, music, cinema and design taken as a whole. The article «Conceptual Foundations of the Ukrainian Icon» unfolds the author’s professional insight into the Ukrainian icon-painting, together with the panoramic display of the Orthodox Christians’ outlook within the spiritual element of the Ukrainian ethnos.

The publication is intended for the broad audience of art scholars, philosophers, historians, culturologists, specialists in the Ukrainian Studies overseas, biographers, archive and library workers, as well as for all those interested in Ukrainian art, culture and public life overseas.
