INDIVIDUALISTIC OPTICS OF PROTONONCONFORMISM AND ITS FORMOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE 1930s-1960s

Abstract

Special attention to the nonconformist component of the formation of artifacts of Ukrainian art in the period from the 1930s to the 1960s is not only instructive for the perception of professional position of artists throughout almost thirty years, but also useful for the formation of a general picture of the movement of art forms in the most difficult period of the Soviet system establishing and as if “inviolable” way of thinking. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct a comprehensive picture of the formation of Ukrainian non-conformist art in the course of the interaction between the individual and the collective, between forbidden and allowed, between the desire for sincerity and the need to feel oneself socially realized on the basis of analysis of the artistic facts and phenomena of visual production of Ukrainian artists of the mid-twentieth century (1930–1960). Along with general scientific methods – analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization – crosscultural and systematic analyses are used making it possible to characterize the work of nonconformist artists in Ukrainian culture as metacultural and meta-artistic integrity. The author also uses traditional art methods: historical and cultural, reconstructive and model, historical and attributive, chronological description, which contribute to the revelation of evolution and figurative transformation of non-conformism in various cultural and historical contexts. The scientific novelty of the research is the author’s interpretation of the phenomenon of Ukrainian art nonconformism of the 20th century, in particular, the historical and cultural reconstruction of its protononconformism phase. Conclusions. It has been demonstrated that aesthetically non-conformism is associated with formological searches and artistic trends in Ukrainian art, the formation of which coincided with the periods of the regeneration of national culture. The regional features of the main locations of Ukrainian artistic protononconformism are identified. It was determined that the nonconformists of urban geolocations of Ukraine realized different versions of the general movement vector, which contributed to the national culture survival and open attitude to the European values.
