Kharkiv School of Photography: Oleg Malyovany

«Oleg Malyovany (b. 1945) engaged in art photography since late 1960's and was among the founders of the VREMYA Group in early 1970's. Unlike most of his groupmates, whose photography was involved in social issues, he sought surrealistic and romantic imagery. Malyovany's photos were highly appreciated among Kharkiv artistic bohema. In 1970's and 80's he was the only photographer in the city who privately sold his artwork – something unheard of in the Soviet Union.»
