This is an automatically translated description

This book is the first fundamental study in Ukraine that analyses the process of adaptation of French Post-Impressionism in the work of Ukrainian New Wave colourists. Since there were no higher art institutions on the Ukrainian territories until 1917, people from Ukraine received their artistic education in St. Petersburg, Krakow, Vienna, Munich, Paris, Rome, and Budapest. Therefore, the circumstances that directly influenced the further development of Ukrainian painting were historically formed outside of Ukraine. While studying in Europe, representatives of Ukrainian culture became recipients of the Art Nouveau style. The innovative artistic trends of Art Nouveau turned out to be a worldview "crossroads" in the works of M. Burachek, A. Erdeli, F. Krychevskyi, A. Manevych, O. Murashko, O. Novakivskyi, and I. Severin, whose traditions were continued by the next generation: E. Kontratovych, A. Kotska, R. Selskyi, O. Shatkivskyi, and T. Yablonska.

The study introduces into scientific circulation significant factual material collected against the background of the international socio-humanitarian discourse of the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. The publication is addressed to scholars, postgraduate students and students of the specialities "History of Art" and "Fine Arts" and to all those who are interested in the history of Ukrainian art and its significance in the global context.
