Carpathians. Mountain stream 1958

"Carpathians. Mountain stream" (1958) is an ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). This striking black and white piece captures the rugged beauty of the Carpathian Mountains. The artist uses a series of bold, expressive lines to depict the towering peaks, dense forests, and winding river below. The dark, dramatic sky adds to the sense of grandeur and awe. Havrylenko's masterful use of line and negative space creates a powerful and evocative image.
