Carlo Zvirinsky was a famous artist and reformer of art education in Lviv. From 1959 to 1966, he organized an underground art academy, where, among other things, he taught the methods of avant-garde styles and movements. His compositions are in synthetic cubism style, where geometric shapes do not repeat the image of the real world, but construct a new one using the colors and textures of objects. During the dominance of socialist realism, Zvirinsky was almost the only one who returned the ‘art of progress’ to art education.
