Illustration for the collection of short stories by Yevhen Gutsal "In the stork village" 1969

"Illustration for the collection of short stories by Yevhen Gutsal "In the stork village" is a black and white woodcut created by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko in 1969. The artwork depicts a simple scene of three houses in a village, rendered in a stark and graphic style. The use of crosshatching and thick lines creates a sense of depth and texture, while the minimal detail emphasizes the rural simplicity of the subject. Havrylenko’s masterful use of line work is reminiscent of traditional Ukrainian folk art.
