Polish Studies of Kyiv, 35(35), 84–90. https://doi.org/10.17721/psk.2019.35.84-9010.17721/psk.2019.35.84-90https://ir.library.knu.ua/handle/15071834/15022This article deals with the life and work of Vasyl Barka. He is one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century and one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainian emigration. The artist spent most of his life outside Ukraine. Nowadays he is returning to his native land in his poems. Deservedly, he gains appreciation and becomes the subject of research interest. Life conditions made him create a special world model, which the writer had created in his writings. This research analyzes the facts of his life in order to explain the original poetic micro– and macrocosm of the writer, it focuses on such aspects of his creativity, which underlie the philosophical design of the writer’s own picture of the world. The author tries to understand the basis of the writer’s life philosophy. Emphasis is laid on the fact that his hard, and sometimes even dramatic life totally fits into the context of our difficult times. It is believed that faith in God has always lived in the soul of the writer. But tough rejection of religion by the communist system, aggressive destruction of everything related to faith and church, encouraged the artist to look for the depths of this phenomena. Searching for the truth, Vasyl Barka is convinced that the deepest human’s tragedy lays in their sinful separation from God. The article says that Barka’s dream of an ideal world coincides with Skovoroda’s theory. However, the artist not only dreamt of such a world, but he became his representative himself. This view is confirmed by the last period of his life. Constant philosophical reflections about the sense of life have resulted in the change of the world outlook and the complete adoption of Christian ideology. With the help of his writings, Vasyl Barka tries to purify our spirituality from all the stinging and hypocritical things which were done by the Pharisees from science and arts and their books. In search for harmony, Barka creates poetry of original style which requires the reader’s physical and spiritual attention. The study showed that the poetic palette of the artist had been influenced by various style schools and directions. Such an alloy of styles largely explains the difficulty of perceiving of Vasyl Barka’s poems. Therefore, Barca’s poetry is on the verge of the general literary process. So, in future, Vasyl Bark’s extraordinary and rich creativity is worth investigating. Besides, it is worth analyzing from the point of view of national, religious and Christian principles.У статті мова йде про одного з найвидатніших письменників XX століття Василя Барку, який більшу частину свого життя прожив поза Україною. Зроблено акцент на тому, що саме умови життя спонукали його до конструювання особливої моделі світу, яку письменник представив у своїх творах. Зосереджено увагу на тих аспектах життя й творчості, які лежать в основі філософського конструювання письменником власної картини світу. Аналізуючи факти життя, автор шукає підґрунтя життєвої філософії письменника. Зауважено, що нелегке, а то й драматичне подекуди життя поета органічно вписується в контекст нашої складної доби. Висловлюється думка, що віра в Бога завжди жила в душі письменника, тому у пошуках істини, Василь Барка приходить до переконання, що найглибша трагедія людини в її гріховному відділенні від Бога. Підтверджено думку, що мрії Барки про ідеальний світ збігаються з поглядами Сковороди. Дослідження показало, що у поетичній палітрі митця нашаровано елементи різних стильових шкіл та напрямів.ukmodel of the worldphilosophyreligious motiveslife and work of Vasyl Barkapoetic paletteauthor’s styleфілософіярелігійні мотивижиття та творчість Василя Баркипоетична палітраавторський стильмодель світуСтаття
