This "Antiquarian" is touching, bright, saturated, nostalgic, and optimistic at the same time - like the very atmosphere of the second consecutive wartime Kyiv summer and the topic to which this magazine is dedicated: "The World of Images of Olha Rapai".
So, for the artist's birthday - August 1 - together with the Association of Art Critics, experts, appraisers and restorers, and the Olha Rapai-Makish Foundation, were prepared this issue, where we tell why Olha Peretsivna devoted herself to ceramics, about her parents and friends, about cultural traditions that can be traced in her images, about the consonance of her work with the searches of Ukrainian artists of the sixties, about Kyiv in the 1960s–1980s. And also about all her exhibitions: from the first, in 1956, when the diploma work of a graduate of KAI "Sister" was presented in the hall of the Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR, to the exhibition "The Power of Roots", recently opened at the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art. And also about special projects for the sculptor's birthday - the installation of a memorial plaque at the House of National Creative Teams of Ukraine decorated by her at Taras Shevchenko Boulevard, 50-52.
It was Olha Rapai's carpet-ornamental compositions on the facade of the House of Creative Collectives — with lions, birds, and flowers — that became the subject of an original postal project dedicated to the artist. In total, it included three sets of stamped blocks and envelopes, on which you can also see restored panels and figures created by the celebrated ceramist in the mid-1980s for the Bratislava Hotel, and panels from the backstage acting lobby of the National Academic Drama Theater named after Lesia Ukrainka.
