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

Hryhorii Havrylenko's 1969 illustration for Yevhen Gutsal’s “In the stork village” is a black and white woodcut print. The image depicts a landscape with a large structure in the center, likely a church, partially obscured by the dense foreground. The use of strong, bold lines and a stippled texture give the illustration a distinct graphic quality and creates a sense of depth. This work is a strong example of Havrylenko’s artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of Ukrainian folk traditions through his art.
