Teatral'ni stroi
(Theater Costumes)
Petryts'kyi (1895-1964) worked as a stage designer for Ukrainian operatic and drama theaters in Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Odesa. His work was influenced by cubism and futurism, as well as Ukrainian popular print and ornamentation. For example, in Ostap Vyshnia's Vii, directed by Hnat Iura in Kharkiv in 1924, he united screens with stylized costumes.
