Garden

Garden opens You’ve Seen This Before, a new book series on Ukrainian art by ist publishing. Through more than 50 works spanning different periods, the book explores the image of the garden — one of the most enduring and fertile motifs in Ukrainian culture. From the biblical Garden of Eden to the idea of the country itself as a garden that everyone can help cultivate.

The book brings together works by Kazymyr Malevych, Maria Prymachenko, Taras Shevchenko, Kateryna Bilokur, Pavlo Makov, and many other artists. Alongside painting, graphic art, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts, it also explores photography, public art, video art, and cinema.

Each work is accompanied by an original commentary by Lizaveta Herman, Anna-Mariia Kucherenko, or Borys Filonenko, offering insight into its place in art history and its connections to other works.
