This album is illustrated with lavish floral and geometrical compositions created by talented untrained peasant artists for their homes. This inimitable naive painting on chests, lintels, icons, window shutters and wooden tableware opens new pages of the Ukrainian cultural heritage. The author’s ethnographic essay contains a wealth of information about regional styles of naive art, folk artists, and everyday life and uses of painted household utensils.
