ARTISTIC SPECIFIC OF THE IMAGE IN THE POEMS OF MYKOLA VINHRANOVSKYI

Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the artistic image in Mykola Vinhranovskyi’s poetry. A complex of features characteristic of an artistic image is elaborated, such as polysemanticity, multidimensionality, associativity, and emotionality in their interdependence, is meaningful. The uncertainty of the semantic core activates the associative potential of the artistic image. Its multidimensionality is usually generated by the symbiosis of two semantic cores: “woman” and “acacia” (“Senioryto Acatsiie…”), “woman" and “Motherland” (“Nobody Loves You Like That...”). The development of associations produced by an artistic image provides a plastic transformation of the subject series into a metaphorical one: the essential features of acacia are also read as characteristics of a woman (“Senioryto Acatsiie…”). A special artistic effect arises as a result of the author’s reinterpretation of traditional, folklore and mythological symbols according to the principle of antithesis. In verlibre “I Boarded the Wrong Plane”, the idea of unrequited love is embodied by the image of an airplane with one wing, genetically related to the folklore symbol of ideal love between a man and a woman – a pair of birds. The author’s artistic decisions, in particular the creation of an image using the realities of the mechanized world, reflect the changes in the worldview concept of the sixties – the destruction of the harmony of man and nature, the search for new landmarks in the world of civilization, the revision of the value hierarchy, the role and place of man in the world. Vinhranovskyi’s innovation is an original creative continuation of Ukrainian folklore, mythological and literary traditions. At the same time, the artist makes use of image-making algorithms characteristic of the sixties.
