Contemporary Ukrainian Art: Truth and Myths

Abstract

It is becoming ever harder to discover the truth about the events that comprise the history of contemporary Ukrainian art. What gets in the way are the evaluations, interpretations and opinions whose objectivity is cast in doubt by the biases of their authors, largely participants of the events. This article is an attempt to take an unbiased look at these events, define their context in art, and describe the details that have so far escaped the scholarly attention.
