"The Beast of War. Naїve Art from Ukraine" is a catalog of the exhibition opening in the open art museum of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
"How wonderful that Switzerland’s open art museum is presenting the most interesting names of the twentieth-century Ukrainian “classical” naïve: Maria Prymachenko, Hryhorii Ksonz, Panas and Yakylyna Yarmolenko, Oleksandra and Hanna Shabatura, Kateryna Bilokur (her works are in only a few museum collections, and I know of none in private hands), Yakiv Yushchenko, Ivan Lysenko, Tetiana Pata, and others — writes in the Foreword to the catalog Petro Honchar, director of the National Museum of Ivan Honchar Museum. — It is my hope that visitors will recognize the main artistic influences—often folk! — so many of our naïve artists were brought up on. Prymachenko, the Homeniuk sisters, Yaryna and Sofia, and the Petrykivka masters, Pata, Paraska Vlasenko, and Oryna Pylypenko, all got their start in folk traditions: embroidery, decorative house painting, and drawings that adorned domestic interiors.
