Arts of Ukraine
[1] Folk art of Ukraine is a layer of Ukrainian culture associated with the creation of the worldview of the Ukrainian people, its psychology, ethical guidelines, and aesthetic aspirations, covering all types of folk art, traditionally inherent in Ukraine: music, dance, songs, decorative and applied arts, developing as a single complex, and organically included in the life of the people throughout its history.
Painters created frescoes and altarpieces, but the most vivid Gothic paintings were embodied in stained glass, which filled huge openings of windows, and upper floors of chapels.
Impressionism in Ukraine has already given impetus to the work of such brilliant masters of Ukrainian art as Burachek, Vasylkivsky, Izhakevych, Dyachenko, Zamirailo, Zhuk, Krasytsky, V. Krychevsky, F. Krychevsky, Levchenko, Kulchytsky, Murashko, Manievich, Novakivsky, Pymonenko, Sosenko, Samokish, Kholodny, Trush, Shulga, Yaremich, and many others.
In fact, a number of such organizations are emerging, with dozens of active members and their diverse artistic activities attracting broad sections of Ukrainian society to art and bringing the achievements of our art far beyond the borders of Ukrainian lands.
The Association of Revolutionary Artists of Ukraine is an organization with purely Ukrainian artistic problems, which, in addition to the practice of European art, united a group of neo-Byzantines at its core, who based their work on the Byzantine art era in Ukraine.
Ukrainian artists working in the form of Western European reality from expressionism to neoclassicism were organized into the Association of Contemporary Artists of Ukraine, which included Taran, Palmiv, Tkachenko, Sadilenko, Kramarenko, Zhdanko, and others as the main representatives.
A large group of artists based on Ukrainian folk art in the broadest sense of the term, which is also adjacent to the Impressionists were united in the "Association of Red Artists of Ukraine" with such names as F. Krychevsky, Mikhailov, Novoselsky, Shovkunenko, Zhuk, Trokhimenko, Kozyk, Korovchinsky, Ivanov, Sirotenko, and others.
