A Sketch of a Mosaic Panel for Decorating the Exterior of a House on the Brest Litovsk Highway in Kyiv 1968

This sketch by Ukrainian artist Valerii Lamakh, created in 1968, was designed for a mosaic panel intended to adorn the exterior of a house on the Brest Litovsk Highway in Kyiv. The sketch showcases Lamakh's characteristic style, featuring a vibrant tapestry of colors and geometric shapes. The composition is dense, with multiple figures, including workers holding tools and a woman cradling a child, suggesting a narrative about labor and social life. The geometric pattern, evoking traditional Ukrainian folk art, suggests a connection between the past and present. This sketch serves as a testament to Lamakh's artistic vision and his dedication to enriching public spaces with vibrant art.
