«Ukrainian alphabet.
Drawings by Heorhii Narbut»

Description

Heorhii Narbut (1886-1920), an outstanding Ukrainian graphic artist, worked twice to create the Ukrainian alphabet: in 1917 (14 letters) and 1919 (3 letters). The alphabet — a masterpiece of the artist — is not only a sample of impeccable graphics but also the result of the artist’s creative path and his national self-identification. This book is the first complete edition of all known letters of the Ukrainian alphabet by Heorhii Narbut, reproduced from the originals. The publication is made for the 100th year of the artist’s death.
