EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning floral design from Ukraine in 1925. Created by an unknown artist, this particular piece is known as Petrykivka painting and was crafted by a talented peasant woman from the village of Petrikovka. The unique aspect of this art form lies in its application process - instead of directly adorning the wall surface, the intricate decorations are meticulously painted on paper resembling wallpaper. These hand-painted pieces, called "Rushniki" are then carefully affixed to the walls, creating a breathtaking display. The photograph itself is a reproduction from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert. Published in Berlin in 1928 by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , this book delves into various forms of color decoration throughout history. In this image, we witness nature's beauty brought indoors through vibrant flowers and foliage that adorn every inch of space. The stylized patterns and harmonious color palette reflect both Ukrainian tradition and artistic expression. This lithograph serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Ukraine's decorative arts. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we can't help but be transported back to 1920s Ukraine, where creativity flourished amidst challenging times. It reminds us that even during difficult periods, art has always been able to inspire and uplift our spirits with its timeless beauty.
