Abstract
Clarification of the question of the legality of representing the system of artistic images of visual art as a special kind of language is a very urgent task for modern humanitarian science. An analysis of this problem shows that the composition of each sample of visual art does not need to be viewed as an “utterance” in the literal sense of the word, nor is it to speak of the “visual language of art” in the same sense in which we speak of a natural language. To be a sign means to be a representation of something, but not every representation is a sign in its special linguistic understanding. The images embodied in visual art often lack the attributes of a linguistically interpreted sign. However, if we widely interpret the concepts of sign and language, then hermeneutics and structural-semiotic analysis reveal practically inexhaustible interpretative possibilities, transforming the external form of our sociocultural existence into a kind of “text”. This “maneuver” transforms the interpretation and analysis of sign-symbolic systems into a variety of culturological studies, and in certain cases allows them to serve as a theoretical basis for social criticism in its creative and political forms.

Summary
Прояснення питання про можливість представлення системи художніх образів візуального мистецтва як особливого роду мови, а також про найбільш адекватні методи вивчення такої системи є вельми актуальним завданням для сучасної гуманітарної науки. При этом все равно следует учитывать, что «интенциональная», «внутренняя» сторона любого визуально кодифицированного «художественного месседжа» будет проходить мимо нашего внимания, если мы не знаем ни его общего назначения, ни даже, собственно, самого факта, что перед нами имеется форма некоего «кода», а не прямая репрезентация того или иного «эмоционально-перцептивного» опыта автора.
