Description

The Museum's traditional springtime exhibition of Ukrainian Easter eggs – pysanky – this year features the unique, exquisite creations of little-known folk artist Iryna Bilianska (1899-1960s?). Using as her prototype the traditional pysanky of her native Sokal region in western Ukraine, characterized by multi-colored floral motifs, Bilianska developed an original style that included certain elements of Sokal embroidery, such as geometric designs and the heavy use of black. In Full Bloom includes 82 of Iryna Bilianska's pysanky, as well as five traditional Sokal embroidered shirts from the Museum's collection.In Full Bloom: The Pysanky of Folk Artist Iryna Bilianska continues through November 29.
