For the first time ever, this album introduces us with the array of pastel works by the eminent painter and graphics artist Oleksa Zakharchuk (1929–2013); these works cover the period of the 1950’s–60’s. They present a mosaic picture of different seasons imbued with delicately nuanced moods.
The pastels published in this album serve as reverberations of the legendary period of «The Thaw», as the echoing of the artist’s life. However, the artistic truths reflected in these pastels have already gained timeless values.
