Leonid Denysenko is a Ukrainian Australian artist living in Sydney, Australia. He is notable for the introduction of the graphic art technique of "literography".〔(Babie, Paul. 'God Is Love': The Literography of Leonid Denysenko. ''The Australasian Catholic Record'', Vol. 86, No. 1, Jan 2009: 18–24. ) ISSN 0727-3215〕 He is the only surviving founding member of the Ukrainian Artists Society of Australia. == Biography and career == Born in Warsaw in 1926 of Ukrainian émigré parents, Leonid studied art in Poland. After World War II he worked as an artist with the United States armed forces in Germany. After arriving in Australia in 1949 with his family, he was sent to a migrant reception and training camp at Bathurst, NSW. As part of the 'assisted passage' Leonid and his brother, Yurij were under a contract to the Australian Government to work where the Government sent them, and the two young men learnt they were to be sent to Queensland as sugar cane cutters. As related by Leonid himself in a 2-page article in the ''Australian Women's Weekly'': In time, the Denysenkos left the camp and Leonid with his mother and brother Yurij, helped stage a number of Ukrainian arts and craft shows in Australia. By 1950 Leonid Denysenko was already being featured in Australian media as a "migrant artist from Ukraine",〔(O'Sullivan, G. 'New Australians enjoyed their Convention', ''The Australian Women's Weekly'' Saturday 11 February 1950, p.28 )〕 and "a young Ukrainian whose pen-and- ink work is much above the ordinary". Leonid completed the necessary examinations which allowed him to teach art in secondary and high schools and his varied career saw him work as a stage and set designer for the theatre and films, a cartoonist and illustrator of books and periodicals, a stamp designer, a leading dancer in a ballet company, an art teacher and principal and a freelance journalist.〔IPREZ (2001), (''Художники України'' ) ("Artists of Ukraine"), Edition 2, «ІПРЕЗ», Kyiv, 2001.
