Ukrainian artist’s paintings on exhibit at Attleboro Arts Museum | Local News

Dverin spent a great deal of time walking through the countryside of Ukraine passing rivers, mountains and fields with easel and paints in hand, always searching for a scene that spoke to him.

When that moment arrived, he would set up his easel and begin to paint.

These 10 works on display, although created over 60 years ago, still hold the beauty of the Eastern European landscape as well as the powerful memory of this artist’s journey and lifelong pursuit of painting the beauty in nature.

Dverin was born in Ukraine and emigrated to the United States in 1976.

He was educated at Leningrad’s Munchin Art Institute and Institute of Fine Art, Ukraine.

As a child, Anatoly attended a banquet at the Kremlin in Russia in association with the National Children’s Art Exhibition.

He has been an illustrator for Rust Craft Greeting Cards Co., in Brookline, and he founded an illustration company, Anatoly Illustration, which he transitioned to his fine art painting and teaching business.

Customers of Anatoly Illustration include Delta Airlines, National Geographic, Smackers, Johnson & Johnson, TV Guide, Hidden Valley, and Apple Computers.
