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

Hryhorii Havrylenko’s “Illustration for the collection of short stories by Yevhen Gutsal “In the stork village””, created in 1969, is a black and white illustration depicting a deer partially obscured behind two trees. The artist’s use of crosshatching and stippling, combined with the dark tone of the illustration creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. The image captures the essence of a dark and shadowy forest, conveying a sense of solitude and perhaps even a hint of danger. The piece is a powerful example of Havrylenko’s mastery of line and tone, and his ability to evoke a sense of atmosphere and emotion in his artwork.
