"Prophet's Eye" (c. 1960s) is a vivid expression of Ukrainian nonconformist art during a time of significant cultural resistance to Soviet-imposed aesthetic conventions. Created in the era of the "sixtiers" (shestydesiatnyky), this sculpture reflects an underground artistic movement (lyricists) that defied the dictates of Socialist Realism in Soviet Ukraine. Its creation during the post-Khrushchev thaw symbolises a broader Eastern European modernist movement striving for cultural autonomy amidst official censorship, marking a critical moment when Ukrainian artists began to reclaim their identity through experimental forms.
