VASYL BARCA. PHILOSOPHICAL CREATION OF THE ARTITS’S OWN WORLD

This 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.
