Cossak Mamay 1960

"Cossak Mamay" is a 1960 painting by Ukrainian artist Alla Horska, known for her vibrant colors and bold, geometric shapes. This work, painted in a modernist style, depicts a Cossak playing a musical instrument, possibly a bandura, a traditional Ukrainian instrument. The figure is simplified into broad strokes and flattened planes, emphasizing form and composition. The composition is filled with vibrant colors, including red, green, orange, and blue, creating a dynamic and expressive piece. Horska's work often explored Ukrainian history and culture, using art as a medium to express national identity.
