Vladimir Pavlosky (1884–1944) was an American painter of Ukrainian descent, a representative of Impressionism known for his allegorical works and monumental painting.
He was born in 1884 in present-day Ukraine into a family of hereditary decorative artists, carvers, and gilders. He received his first lessons in craftsmanship from his father, Grigory Pavlosky, who specialized in the decoration of religious interiors. At the age of 20 (around 1904), five years after his father’s death, Pavlosky emigrated to the United States to avoid conscription into the Tsarist army. Initially arriving in New York, he soon moved to Boston, which was considered the cultural and artistic center of America at the time.
Pavlosky quickly integrated into the Boston art scene and opened his own studio. Thanks to his father’s reputation and his own talent, he received commissions for interior painting and creating murals for churches and theaters. His works include the interiors of the Polish Church of Our Lady of Ostrobrama in Boston, as well as murals in the Fenway, Orpheum, and Strand theaters.
In the early 1920s, his painting "The White Peacock" took second place at an exhibition of Boston artists at the Museum of Fine Arts (the first prize was awarded to the famous John Singer Sargent). From the 1920s until his death in 1944, Pavlosky exhibited regularly at Doll & Richards, Vose Galleries, and as part of the Boston Watercolor Society.
Pavlosky believed that art is an expression of the soul, and that an artist must be honest with themselves and nature, without considering commercial success during the creative process.
