Among Ukrainian artists of the “thaw” generation, the author was one of the first who turned to the practice of abstract painting. In his works, the master used various formal techniques characteristic of traditional European modernism of the first half of the twentieth century. This practice was a definite search for our own figurative-artistic system and had an impact on the formation of philosophical and aesthetic thought, which is fully represented by the artist’s main work - The Book of Schemes.
