Today is the birthday of great πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦#Ukrainian artist Maria #Prymachenko (1909-1997). She was born and lived in Bolotnya, #Kyiv region. She is considered a 'primitive' artist but genuinely a modernist. She is my favorite artist, and here is a big thread about her

She was born into a peasant family, and her mother was talented at embroidery. Like many πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ women from the village, she lived among art – everything in houses was decorated. Mariya has painted houses since childhood

#Prymachenko is best known for her fantastic animals. But many of these animals have a story behind them. Many of them were dedicated to family, relatives, or neighbors. She was a special name for every work.
