Abstract

The aim is to explore the key concepts of stylistics of Ukrainian fine arts, architecture and various types of design of the second half of the XIX – early XXI centuries in the relationship of individual fields of knowledge. Research methods – hermeneutic, axiological, historical-genetic, historical-chronological, comparative, culturological, formal-stylistic, art analysis. The selected tools allow you to compare the stylistic features of different types of design (industrial, graphic, clothing, environment), fine arts and architecture. A novelty is an overview of evolutionary processes in terms of styles in painting, graphics, architecture, various types of design activities (in particular, environmental design, industrial, graphic, clothing). The points of intersection of the conceptual and categorical sphere of the indicated branches of creativity are outlined, both common and different tendencies concerning the identification of stylistic features are observed. Conclusions. The differences of separate branches of knowledge of artistic creativity and common features of some types of design-designing, -construction, -modeling, art technologies bordering on graphic art and painting (graphic design, partly industrial design), architecture (environmental design and partly industrial design) are traced. Since the era of modernism, art deco, avant-garde, constructivism, functionalism, Stalin’s empire, which affected all forms of artistic activity, in the late twentieth – early twenty-first century established the classic, minimalism, high-tech, fusion, low-tech, shabby chic, provence, glamour, some oriental stylizations in the interior associated with architecture. Instead, clothing design, in addition to the classics, over the past few decades has creatively adapted the sports-classic style, manga, country, western, boho, military, glamour and etc. over the past few decades. If the shapes of the silhouettes of the cut look at the general tendencies of industrial design, the drawings of fabrics partially appeal to the visions of graphic design, which are related to the tendencies of fine arts – tendencies of modernism, avant-garde, postmodernism. Namely, they tend to functionalism, constructivism, boychukism, art deco, socialist realism, Stalinist empire, Ukrainian soviet empire, neo-functionalism, neo-primitivism, neo-folk style, polystylism, glamour.

Highlights

The methodology and analysis of sourcesThis study is purposed to identify the main design styles that interact with fine, decorative and applied art and architecture, with the attempt of their primary classification to determine the connections and differences in the stylistics of Ukrainian fine art, architecture and design of the second half XIX-early XXI century period
Practical specialists distinguish the Bauhaus (Bystrova, 2001, pp. 234–268). All these styles are divided into classical, ethnic and modern classes, which mutually contact each other intersecting with the styles of architecture, fine and decorative arts; for example, functionalism, futurism, art deco, pop art, postmodernism, contemporary, boho, manga, pin-up, military, Mid – century modern and correspond to the concepts of kitsch like vintage, retro, steampunk
Architecture and design of Ukraine during the late XIX – early XXI century period developed in a certain stylistic generality uniting the large European historical styles
