Інтерпретація національних традицій у сакральній творчості мистців української діаспори

Abstract

Abstract. The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation and the development of the sacred art and the architecture of the Ukrainian Diaspora. The artistic-figurative features of Ukrainian temple architecture and interiors are considered, in particular the specifics of their spatial organization as well as interior decorations: wall paintings, mosaics, stained glass windows and iconostases. The traditional and innovative approaches in the design of sacral buildings and the monumental-decorative organization of their internal space are singled out. A deep analysis of the works of Diaspora artists was conducted and a new view of their activities in the field of sacred art is presented. In foreign countries, they joined the creation of artistic masterpieces, which embodied the best achievements of world culture, the diversity of its styles, trends and the traditions of national culture, which have been formed in Ukraine for centuries. The problem of the search for the sacred form and its interpretation within the Ukrainian-Byzantine tradition was outlined, the most obvious manifestation of which was the work of the representatives of the Ukrainian Diaspora, and subsequently, due to their influence, the experiments of post-Soviet artists of the end of XXth century in Ukraine.
