Presented for the first time, in one volume, are treasures of Ukrainian folk art from private collectors in Lviv, Ukraine: icons on glass, carved ooden candelabra, wooden and metal crosses, and clay tiles and plates from past centuries. As with all Ukrainian folk art, these works exemplify both the practical and the spiritual world of traditional Ukrainian life, with all its rituals and symbolism.
The history of the preservation and rescue of these objects by three waves
of Lviv collectors is also given. During Soviet times, collecting from the
Ukrainian artists in the Carpathian Mountains and their foothills carried
great risk.
