Twilly with the painting by Kateryna Bilokur “Flowers and Grapes,” 1953-1958

The twilly was created in collaboration with the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art.  This painting emerged during a time when Bilokur was working in the direction of classical still lifes with bouquets. This is a new period for Kateryna Bilokur, where she sought new, original forms for her compositions and experimented with them while remaining unique.
In the painting “Flowers and Grapes,” a bouquet of lilacs, roses, and hollyhocks is depicted in the shape of a heart, with a ripe bunch of grapes in the center.
