Mykhailo Zhuk (also transliterated as Mikhail Zhuk; 2 October 1883 – 7 June 1964) was a Ukrainian professor and artist who worked in a variety of things like graphic art, painting, and ceramics. He was part of the founding faculty of National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture and worked for the Grekov Odesa Art School for three decades. His art commonly combined national motifs with Art Deco and Art Nouveau. Born in Kakhovka into the family of a painter, he studied at three different schools before finally graduating in 1904 at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts. From 1905 to 1917 he worked in Chernihiv as a drawing teacher at a gymnasium and seminary, before moving back to Kyiv and becoming one of the founding faculty of the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture as a professor of painting. However, after the start of the absorption of the Ukrainian People's Republic during the Russian Civil War, Zhuk moved back to Chernihiv in 1919, where he painted portraits as he was not able to get employment. He moved to Odesa in 1925 to support his family, becoming employed as a professor at the Grekov Odesa Art School where he worked for the following three decades. He died in 1964.
