Description
The book 'Treasures of Ukraine' presents more than a hundred objects and buildings - from Byzantine icons and wooden churches to temples with golden domes, folk art, and masterpieces of the avant-garde - and speaks of the rich art and heritage of a country that today faces destruction and devastation. Impressive photographs are accompanied by commentary from renowned artists, curators, and critics who explain individual works of art and reveal the complex history of the Ukrainian nation and its influence on the present. The book depicts the development of ancient cultures, such as Trypillia and Scythian, the first states like Kievan Rus and the Cossack Hetmanate, as well as the dawn of modernism and remarkable contemporary paintings and works with political undertones, reminding us that art and monuments are significant sources of collective memory and identity.
