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

Hryhorii Havrylenko's 1969 illustration for Yevhen Gutsal's short story collection "In the Stork Village" is a black and white print characterized by its stark contrast and use of stippling, a technique that utilizes a pattern of dots to create tonal values. The illustration depicts a scene of three storks standing on the ground, their white bodies highlighted against a black background, hinting at the illustrative nature of the artwork. The stippled pattern creates a sense of depth and texture, reminiscent of woodcuts or engravings, adding to the vintage aesthetic of the work.
