Abstract
For art historians in the West, Ukrainian art is a blind spot. It has been either fully ignored or subsumed into Russian and Soviet art. While certain artists’ biographies and works may be characterized by Ukrainian-Russian intertwining, there is also a rich independent Ukrainian culture, from folk art and fine art to architecture. Catchwords here are the wooden churches, the Cossack baroque, and the avant-garde. The artistic heritage of Ukraine, whose history has been moulded by territorial discontinuity and political ruptures, draws on different cultures and strands of tradition. Diversity and heterogeneity are its hallmarks.
