'Deer' carpet painting by Yasep Drazdovic (Belarus; 1888–1954)
Yasep Drazdovich is a key figure in 20th-century Belarusian culture. In addition to his artistic talents, he served as a writer, poet, teacher, ethnographer, archaeologist, and folklorist. He travelled extensively, creating wall-painted carpets that adorned village houses for both decorative and protective purposes as amulets. Dedicated to preserving Belarusian traditions, Drazdovich infused the carpets with a unique spirit that closely aligned with the folk art origins of this decorative art.
