Mariupol, Donetsk region

Mariupol masterpieces of Alla Gorskaya came to an end. The works "Tree of Life" and "Boriviter" were created in the interior of the restaurant "Ukraine" by a team of artists (A. Gorskaya, V. Zaretsky, G. Zubchenko, B. Plaksia, G. Prishedko under the guidance of V. Prakhnin N. Svetlichnaya) on during a creative business trip to Mariupol, which lasted from May 23 to June 12, 1967.

Thematically timeless, aesthetically perfect and devoid of any socialist realist concepts - these two works by Alla Gorskaya's team were the pearls of the Mariupol collection of monumental art.
