The publication is an anthology of currently scarce texts by thirty-four representatives of the Ukrainian avant-garde: artists who act as critics and scientists; art critics acting as analysts and conceptualists; poets and writers who act as creators and analysts of contemporary art forms. The reader receives a thematic, personal, and worldview variety of views on the creative "ordering" of the art form in Ukrainian visual art of the 1910s-1930s, will be able to plunge into the vortex of creative disputes, the struggle of ambitions and the settlement of approaches, a kaleidoscope of multidirectional searches for artistic truth and seclusion in the social inevitability of historical events.
The genre set of presented texts — from a particular pastoral nature of journalistic articles to the sharpness of manifestos and sometimes angry desperation of discussions — forms a stereoscopic sketch of currents and groups of that time in all the complexity, inconsistency, and therefore poignancy of the proclaimed positions.
The anthology is intended for a wide range of connoisseurs of Ukrainian art of the avant-garde era.
