(Kozak) Bandurist (Бандурист), alternatively Blind Man (Сліпий) or Slave (Невольник) by Taras Shevchenko
Iskivtsi, Russian Empire (now Ukraine). 1843. Sepia ink.
Taras Shevchenko, also known as Kobzar (a word for a Ukrainian bard) is one of the most well known and important figures to Ukrainian cultural and linguistic history. Active in the mid 19th century, Shevchenko was a poet, writer, artist, and political figure and is credited with creating the foundation for Ukrainian literature and language in general.
These sepia ink drawings are two of many drawings Shevchenko did of a theme on a blind kobzar playing the Bandura (a Ukrainian folk instrument) in 1843, during his first trip across Ukraine. Three years later, he would write a poem on the topic, the title of which gave these pieces their alternative titles. Here's an excerpt from the poem connected to this scene:
«Отак на улиці під тином
Ще молодий кобзар стояв
І про невольника співав.
За тином слухала Ярина…»
"And so on the street by the fence
Still the young kobzar stood
And sang about a slave
Behind the fence stood Yarina..."
In this scene, Yarina recognized her husband Stepan in the blind musician, and her role is then attributed to the young woman shown in the background of these pictures. Several depictions of the scene, including the first one I show here, also places a young boy in the scene as a guide for the kobzar. His hairstyle is called an oseledets, traditional of a Kozak/Cossack depiction. The original of this first painting, one of the biggest sepia pieces done by Shevchenko, is unfortunately believed to be destroyed in a fire in 1919, but still exists in two photo copies. It was also used as art on the 2005 100 hryvnia bill.

Fighting for political freedom, for the Ukrainian faith, the Cossacks watered every inch of their native land with their blood and sowed with their bones. They created such heroic heroes, which caused contemporaries and cause fair amazement in posterity.

“What can art accomplish? The purpose of art is to accumulate the human within the human being. But when I was in Afghanistan during the Soviet War, and recently, speaking to Donbass refugees in Ukraine, I heard how quickly man gets rid of culture and a monster emerges. The beast is revealed. I do write though.... keep on writing... I write as my teachers taught me, the Belarusian writers Ales Adamovich and Vasil Bykov, whom I remember today with gratitude... I write as my Ukrainian grandmother taught me in childhood when she recited poems from the book Kobzar (The Bard) by Taras Shevchenko. Why do I write ? I've been called a catastrophe writer, but that's not true. Always looking for words of love. Hate will not save us. One and only love And I have hope... ". Svetlana Alexievich on House of Letters blog.
