Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on the representation of musical motifs and the image of a musician in the works of Ukrainian artists, representatives of the Kyiv school, Arkady (father) and Gennady (son) Pugachevsky. The artistic activity of these masters is positioned as a method of popularizing Ukrainian art in the foreign artistic space. The main storylines of free graphics, printed graphics, and small sculptures of the artists are analyzed. The problem of preserving the classical traditions of letterpress printing techniques is being updated. The image of a musician is emphasized as one of the main ones in the work of Arkady and Gennady Pugachevsky; examples of works in different types and genres of art based on musical motifs are analyzed. A variant of the classification of such works is proposed, the interpenetration of methods of creating an image in music and plastic arts, the artist’s tools borrowed from the musical sphere, the musician’s palette and the sound of color and line are emphasized. The analysis is based on small bronze sculptures, plastic engravings by Arkady Pugachevsky, watercolors and drawings by Gennady Pugachevsky.
