Marvel at the beauty of this 18th-century Chest-on-Chest from #ClevelandMuseumofArt, a stunning representation of American craftsmanship boasting intricate shell carvings and rich mahogany. Who do you believe crafted such exquisite artistry, the Carliles or Rawsons?

See this beautiful mosaic by Ukrainian artist Alla Horska (Ukrainian: Алла Горська, 1929-1970), first, as it looked after the Russian bombardment of Mariupol and, second, as it looked before. I’ve seen several different titles for this work, including Bird in Flight. The most heartbreakingly tragic aspect of war is by far the destruction of human life. The destruction of essential services, such as hospitals, schools, roads, etc. is devastating for the survivors. And the loss of a people’s cultural heritage is, in essence, an erasure of their history. #ukraine #arthistory #womanartist #womenartists #mosaics
From Hromadske TV: “Alla Horska was a Ukrainian artist of the 1960s, monumentalist painter, one of the first representatives of the underground art movement, dissident, and human rights activist of the Sixtiers movement in Ukraine. Her cultural legacy includes mosaics, graphics, and paintings. Alla Gorska was killed by the KGB at the age of 41 on November 28, 1970”
