Loading ...Ivana Kupala
For those of you who do not know about the St. John’s – Ivana Kupala festival, this is the original pagan midsummer night. In pre-Christian Ukraine, the festival was really a fertility rite that was supposed to assure a good harvest. (Kupalo was believed to be the god of Love and of Harvest. He was personified as the earth’s fertility — RJO). From the descriptions in ancient chronicles it was rather wild, featuring all kinds of sexual excesses… in other words, a lot of fun.

What associations come to mind when talking about Ukrainian art? Perhaps pieces of gorgeous embroidery or painted Easter eggs? Or maybe pottery or other handicrafts made by skillful Ukrainian artists? But have you ever heard of Ukrainian modernism?
