ETHNOCULTURAL DIMENSION OF UKRAINIAN ARTISTIC CULTURE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 163, Issue 8

Abstract

The article considers the special features of the Ukrainian artistic culture of the early 20th century, which developed in line with the national revival and the preservation of ethnic selfhood and identity in the conditions of the Soviet totalitarian state. It shows the cultural and artistic situation at the beginning of the 20th century and indicates the expression of active national consciousness of the Ukrainian creative elite. The research substantiates that the Ukrainian culture of the early 20th century was characterized by the revival of national values, ethnic traditions, the growth of national consciousness and the reflection of ethnic identity in artistic culture. It has been revealed that the Ukrainian art of this age largely reflected the complexity, ambiguity and peculiarity of the political, national and cultural situation in Ukraine. The development of the Ukrainian art of the 1920s and 1930s went beyond purely artistic problems, hence it was closely linked to the prospect of the national and cultural development. The emergence of the outlook of artists of this age was influenced by the sources of ethnic culture (folk art, Ukrainian icon painting, ornamentation), which determined the originality and national specificity of their works. Beginning in 1933, the communist government was severely controlling the ideological situation in the country, cultural processes were unified with the help of the method of “socialist realism”, which foresaw a mandatory eulogy of the achievements of socialism. The national and cultural revival in Ukraine of the 1920s and 1930s was brutally destroyed by totalitarian power and entered history as “Shot Revival”.
