    and wild flowers with a gentle sweet smelling breeze...

    "What develops our spiritual life?", asked Oleksandr Dovzhenko. And answered: "Cinema".
     Oleksandr Dovzhenko went down to history of world cinematography as an original filmmaker and screenwriter.
     Being a world famous filmmaker he defended his idea that screenplays have to be written by writers.
     He said that to write a screenplay was not easier than to write a novel.
     A screenwriter needs talent and artistic experience...]]> Natalia Tue, 31 May 2011 05:41:01 -0700 http://artukraine.com/index.php?newsid=170 http://artukraine.com/index.php?newsid=170
    Every day long peasant dress from Central Ukraine.
    The dress is authentic and it is about 80 years ago. Made of home-spun linen.
    The sleeves are embroidered in traditional black/red design. There is also openwork embroidery along the bottom hem.
    The dress is in good vintage condition, however, there are some small stains on the skirt.
    Please keep in mind that the textile is antique, so cleaning needs to be careful.
    The dress is a good addition to your ethnic collection...

    My meeting with Petro Stolyarenko was not coincidental. I came to Yalta (Crimea) especially to meet the legendary artist whose
    paintings embelish many famous museums and the homes of world-known celebrities, and consequently achieving high prices at
    international art auctions.
    I have Stolyarenko's small work By the Sea in my private collection. I bought it amazingly cheap and still consider it a gem of my
    collection...
