My Liza. Graphics by Yelyzaveta Kremnytska from the 1960s
White Space Bohdana Khmelnytskogo 62B, Kyiv, UkraineIt is almost impossible to write about Liza Kremnytska without mentioning Pavlo Bedzir—especially when speaking of Liza’s black-and-white graphics, which remain largely unknown to the wider circle of admirers of her work. Pavlo—her lawful husband (they were married in 1952) and a teacher-experimenter—used to say among friends, “My Liza,” reminiscent of the Mona Lisa.
