Painting: What is What. Kateryna Lypa

In her new book, art historian Kateryna Lypa talks about how to navigate the diversity of painting — from icons and mosaics to stained glass and paintings. Using the works of Ukrainian artists as an example, the author describes all kinds of styles and techniques, and also explains how artists work with colors, textures and images.
Why did Goethe criticize Newton and why did mosaic become so popular in Ukraine? What is monumental painting and why did dictators dislike modernism so much? How did Mykhailo Boichuk and his students revive interest in fresco painting, and porcelain iconostases were created in Sumy region? The art historian talks about all this.
