MOVING LANDSCAPE. Ukrainian Art Between Revolution and War | Natalia Chermalykh, Pierre-Laurent Boullais

The book "MOVABLE LANDSCAPE. Ukrainian Art between Revolution and War / PAYSAGES INSTABLES. Ukrainian Artists Between Revolution and War" is a bilingual (Russian and French) publication that explores a complex and dynamic period in the history of Ukrainian art from 2014 to 2022, covering events from the Revolution of Dignity to the full-scale Russian invasion. This publication is the result of cooperation between the Kyiv publishing house "Rodovid" and the French publishing house "Nouvelles Éditions Place".

The book focuses on the works of sixteen contemporary Ukrainian artists, whose work serves as a kind of barometer of public sentiment and reflects the rapid changes taking place in Ukraine. The title "Moving Landscape" (or "Unstable Landscapes" in the French version) very accurately conveys the essence of this period - constant change, uncertainty and transformation that occurred both in the real landscape of the country and in the minds of its inhabitants. The publication includes not only reproductions of works of art, but also deep analytical texts that help to comprehend the context in which this art was created. This book is an important contribution to the understanding of contemporary Ukrainian art and its response to historical challenges, and also introduces the European reader to the rich artistic heritage of Ukraine.
