Conclusions. The development of graphic techniques is a significant contribution to the national fine arts and design, to the culture of Ukraine. It can be argued that graphic techniques have undergone significant changes since their inception. At the beginning of the XXI century, their technology becomes more complex and the texture of the print and the color solution becomes more complicated. Today, abstract, futuristic forms that are most characteristic of improvisational art are used, and contemporary artists continue to search for new tools and techniques for enriching graphic techniques. An analysis of the essence and representation of graphic techniques in the works of Ukrainian artists points to the interdependence of the long-standing cultural heritage and achievements of the early twentieth century, which helps the development of graphic techniques and should influence the visual arts and design in Ukraine.
