The dissertation is devoted to the study of the formation and development peculiarities of the national model of Ukrainian mural painting as one of the most important parts of our artistic culture of the twentieth 3 early twenty-first century, when there were stunning socio-political upheavals associated with the national liberation struggle of the Ukrainian people for their freedom and independence. And this was reflected in the Ukrainian artistic environment, where at different stages of confrontation with Soviet ideology and socialist realism imposed by the authorities, the art of mural painting directly addressed to the people rose again and again to meet the national revival, focusing on its national roots, on the traditions established by the school of Ukrainian Monumentalism of Mykhailo Boichuk as an outstanding phenomenon of world significance. In addition, the work of Ukrainian non-conformists in the field of wattle mosaic art of the 1960s and 1970s, their original techniques, and the work of prominent Ukrainian monumentalists of the 1980s and 2000s, as well as anti-war murals by contemporary representatives of the muralist movement
in Ukraine, remain insufficiently studied. The researcher examines the impact of political change, religious diversity, globalization, and modern technology on the creation of Ukrainian murals. The study of this material will not only contribute to a more thorough understanding of the peculiarities of the national model of Ukrainian mural painting of the twentieth 3 early twenty-first century, but will also become the basis for further art historical research in other forms of fine art, which determines the relevance of the research topic.
The aim of the study was to identify the peculiarities of the formation, transformation, and restoration of the national model in the art of Ukrainian mural painting of the twentieth 3 early twenty-first century against the background of socio-political cataclysms and trends in the cultural and artistic development of the period under study in Ukraine and the world.
