The main trends of Ukrainian art of 1990-2020: artistic language, forms and means of expression — the state of research of the problem

Abstract

The main directions of Ukrainian art of the 1990–2020s, its means of expression through the prism of modern art history are analyzed. The problems of transformations of the artistic language, forms and means of expression of contemporary Ukrainian art are studied. It is proved that modern researchers comprehend the peculiarities of the development of Ukrainian art at the turn of the 20th — 21st centuries in the problem-chronological aspect, so the analysis of the development and renewal of contemporary visual arts, with the exception of some studies, is currently fragmentary and not very systematic. For the most part, the authors consider the creative search of individual artists in classical paradigms, transforming the methodology of analysis and interpretation of their works to the modern information context.
