МИСТЕЦЬКИЙ ТВІР ЯК ЧАСТИНА БІОГРАФІЇ МАЙСТРА
THE ARTWORK AS A PART OF THE ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY

Summary/Abstract: The thesis objective is to confirm the mutual relation of biographic events and the master’s artistic achievements, as well as to justify the viewpoint of opuses being a considerable part of biography. The research methodology is based on implementing a range of the following approaches: analytical – by grasp of the sources referring to the thesis issue; interdisciplinary – by obtaining innovation data on the chronicle discourse issues; systemic – by comprehensive reviewing the problematic field under consideration; biographic – by studying various aspects of the author’s existence; culture studies – by considering the links between social, mental phenomena in the personality’s individual history; hermeneutic – by explaining the chronicle’s content; theoretic generalization – by summarizing the key research positions, and some others. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time ever in national humanitarian studies the artistic pattern is identified as a structural component of the artist’s chronicle. Conclusions. The master’s biography is a specific form of representing and interpreting his life and creativity conception brought through the prism of civilization processes, personal concern, civil heritage. The genre fixes the most essential domains of an individual’s existence and represents the creative, existential and axiological paradigm. The master’s achievements reflect the predominant ontological concepts and stand out as a significant chronicle constituent. An opus is a mental artifact, a multi-component text expressed with specific (verbal, sound, color, symbol, image-bearing) language reproducing various time dimensions of homo sapiens existence (the past, the present and the future), thus creating cultural, national, sense polyphony. The master’s activity reflects the key results of reconsidered private complications and reveals significant social, political, civil and other events. Due to this, they stand out as a constructive unity of not only the artist’s biography but also of a certain environment, country, era, etc.
