Abstract
The article attempts to systematise the list of Ukrainian students of the School of Fine Arts/Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in the years 1922–1939. On the basis of personal files from the archives of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and materials held in the Special Collections of the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences, it has been possible to determine who studied there, when, and under which professors, as well as what awards they received. On the basis of an analysis of documents from the personal files of Piotr Megik, Piotr Chołodny, Włodzimierz Pobuławiec and Wacław Waśkowski, their biographies from their Warsaw period were clarified and supplemented. The article presents, for the first time, information on the works of Ukrainian students recorded on negatives held in the collection of the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
