Abstract

The study is devoted to identifying the features of the Art Nouveau style in different cities of Ukraine. Using the example of a comparison between the European-style Art Nouveau in Lviv and the regional “wooden Art Nouveau” in Chernihiv, it is shown how the style changes as it moves away from its centres of origin. The role and place of Lviv Art Nouveau in the formation of the Western Ukrainian Art Nouveau school is determined. The varieties of Art Nouveau in Lviv and the spread of certain varieties are characterized, the originality of the architecture of “wooden Art Nouveau” in Chernihiv is analysed. The importance of the “author’s style” in the formation of Art Nouveau buildings is determined. Typical examples of Art Nouveau varieties in Lviv are determined, the characteristics of early and late Art Nouveau are given. The manifestations of Art Nouveau elements on the facades of wooden buildings in Chernihiv and the difference in the manifestations of Art Nouveau in the main and regional centers are determined.
