THE GENESIS OF THE UKRAINIAN ARTISTIC AVANT-GARD

Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 163, Issue 8

Abstract

The article is devoted to the comprehension of the philosophical foundations of Ukrainian art of the early 20th century. It investigates the genesis of Ukrainian avant-garde – the direction in art, which destroyed the traditional principles of art creativity. The article reveals the reasons for its rise, the essence and features of avant-garde painting. Its basis are the form destruction and colour esterification, and thus the destruction of human existence. The history of the Ukrainian avant-garde is considered, it has passed two important stages: acquaintance with the latest trends of world culture and their rethinking (1907 – 1914); the artists’ creative search for the meaning of existence of a modern person embodied in painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and theatre (20th years of the 20th century). Various directions of Ukrainian avant-garde art are investigated. They are: cubism, futurism, suprematism, abstractionism, constructivism to the opinion of various Ukrainian artists – O. Bohomazov, O. Arkhypenko, O. Ekster (representatives of Ukrainian cubofuturizm), K. Malevych (the founder of suprematism), V. Kandynskiy (abstractionism), V. Yermilov (constructivism). The creativity of each of them is reflection on the artistic and aesthetic content of the art of avant-garde and the essence of the main art categories: “colour”, “line”, “rhythm”, “movement”, “form”, “invoice”, “space” and “time”. It is elucidated that the rise of Ukrainian culture and art occurred at the beginning of the 20th century and its best examples are a significant contribution to the treasury of world art.
