Abstract: Avant-garde still remains very close to the contemporary development of the Ukrainian art and at the same time it is distanced too far from it if we had to choose among all variety of art movements and trends nowadays. Born in the first decade of the 20th century in the period of wars and revolution it carried on a provocative challenge. Disagreement with the realities, experimental approaches, innovative ways of expression, symbolism of the images influenced the consciousness of the audience, thus undertook the aesthetic revolution which had to destroy the conservatism of the society.Despite the introducing the socialist realism as an art method avant-garde had been existing through all the 20th century, it experienced the burst out during Khrushchev thaw and especially in the 1960–1970s years. At the end of the 20th century we could see its revival. But the contemporary avant-garde has other features, although its theory states the absence of the external authority that can made an impact on the autonomous judgment of the viewer in the perception of the art works.
