ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN TRENDS OF MODERN UKRAINIAN WARTIME PAINTING AND ARTISTIC PARALLELS

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to highlight the main stylistic features of modern Ukrainian fine arts of the war period in relation to the art of Ukraine of the twentieth century. The research methodology is based on the comparative analysis of the visual-plastic language of contemporary Ukrainian art, as well as the comparative-historical method, which allows us to analyze the artistic temporal parallels of the development of Ukrainian fine arts. The scientific novelty consists in the first attempt to create a holistic picture of the development of modern Ukrainian fine arts of the war period and to determine the main artistic trends in the formation. Conclusions. The war period for Ukrainian art became a milestone that separated the artistic trends of the early XXI century and stylistic features of 2022, which introduced new artistic priorities and requirements. As a result of the analysis, it is established that the main trends in the development of modern Ukrainian wartime painting can already be identified. Generally speaking, this is primarily a tendency to posterity, generalization, monumentality. Heroization of the images of the victorious pages of the past in Ukrainian history, as well as glorification of the image of Ukraine-woman, suffering, but unshakable in the fight against the enemy. The use of Ukrainian symbols in works of art - flag, coat of arms, Ukrainian ornament, etc. - acquires a new sound. An attempt was also made to structure works of modern painting in the following areas: features of graphics and posters; tendencies of folk art and neo-primitivism; signs of heroic and epic style, neorealism. Of course, this process of forming a new plastic trend in Ukrainian painting has only just begun; it develops, moves, pulsates, changes. It is happening here and now. However, despite the terrible catastrophe and its destructive action, which we are witnessing and the name of which is the war, today we can see how radical changes are taking place not only in the national context of Ukraine, but around the world. And the destiny of art is not only to reflect these global changes that we have witnessed, but also to lead society, consolidate, affirm the eternal values and ideals of humanity, national foundations and lead to victory.
