His landscapes often depict rural Ukraine, rivers, fields, and trees; there is little to no emphasis on industrial or propagandistic motifs — his strength lies in capturing introspective, meditative moments in nature that remain deeply resonant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"923\" data-end=\"1379\"\u003eBorn in \u003cstrong data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"939\"\u003e1911\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"963\"\u003eMogilev-Podolsky\u003c\/strong\u003e (now Vinnytsia region), Kogan-Shats studied at the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1037\"\u003eKyiv Art Institute\u003c\/strong\u003e, graduating in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003e1939\u003c\/strong\u003e in the studio of Oleksiy Shovkunenko.
