Exhibition
Ukrainian Masters of Baranivka in the 20th Century: Voice Through the System
Baranivka Porcelain Museum
The current exposition explores the complex fate of Ukrainian artistic porcelain during the Soviet era. Despite strict ideological constraints, the Baranivka factory employed powerful national masters who preserved the Ukrainian decorative tradition — Lidia Shkarban, Mykola Zhuk, Valentyna Hryhorieva. The exposition presents their author tea services with kalyna and poppy motifs, Hutsul ornament, Petrykivka painting, porcelain sculptures of peasant types, tea sets in the form of Ukrainian church architecture. A separate programme is devoted to their resistance to formalism — how, through ritually mandatory themed sets, they carried Ukrainian visual language to contemporary collectors.
