“AND WE, MY DARLING, ARE IN LOVE!..”


Tetiana Poshyvaylo, expert in ethnic and art spheres, in her article tells about conceptual peculiarities of the art exhibition dedicated to the topic of Ukrainian love that took place in the Ukrainian Folk Art Center “Ivana Honchara Museum”. Original ethnic philosophy and symbolic and metaphorical world outlook of Ukrainian people reveal through images and plots of ancient folk pictures, embroidered rushnyky (folk towels), folk song texts, as well as ethics and aesthetics of relationships between the two world principals — a man and a woman. The author hopes that deeper learning of the holly feelings of our ancestors will contribute to awakening of young hearts to real national values.
