Abstract

The modern military realities of the deployment of Russian aggression against Ukraine have an impact on the development of Ukrainian cultural life and prompts the rethinking of existing concepts as well as the expansion of research areas in the history of art. The purpose of the proposed article is to study the current state of Ukrainian art, its scientific and phenomenological understanding, and to determine possible future vectors for scientific discoveries in this field. This study is important and relevant, especially given the need for a more detailed study of the state of art in crisis conditions. Several scientific methods were used to realize this goal, in particular, the method of content analysis of scientific literature selected for research, the method of comparison to achieve objectivity when considering the main material. The results noted that Russian aggression led to the emergence of new trends in Ukrainian art that indicate experiences, aesthetics, emotions and social changes in society against the background of changes in collective memory and historical consciousness. The interest in military themes in Ukrainian art only increased interest in the study of the history of Ukrainian art in general. Art forms that protest against aggression and express solidarity with the victims of war have also developed: street art, digital projects, posters and banners that are actively distributed on the Internet. The conclusions emphasize that even during such actualization, Ukrainian artists actively refer to historical roots, traditions, and symbols in order to emphasize the uniqueness of Ukrainian culture.
