Object description
On the back of the photograph is an inscription in russian, written with a purple ballpoint pen: "Ivanova A. M. Dancers. 1919 Kyiv". The photograph depicts a horizontal graphic composition with a man and a woman dancing and two musicians playing stylised folk wind instruments such as dudka (longitudinal flutes). All the figures are dressed in the clothes of more urbanised inhabitants, particularly the man on the left, wearing trousers with suspenders, popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The expressive silhouette and approach to composition are in keeping with the general characteristics of the artistic practices of Mykhailo Boichuk's circle. Later, Antonina Ivanova used a similar approach when working on the panel "We Are for Peace" (1967).
