Als der Krieg kam … / When the war came …: Neue Beiträge zur Kunst in der Ukraine / New studies into art in Ukraine

The volume comprises seven contributions of the Ukraine Forum, which was organized at short notice in response to the Russian aggression within the framework of the 36th German Art Historians’ Day in Stuttgart on March 24–25, 2022. The methodologically differently profiled papers by authors from Ukraine, Poland and Germany deal with selected aspects of architecture and visual arts in Ukraine from the 19th century to the present day. What they have in common is that they all deal with the topic of war and its impact on Ukrainian art and culture in different ways. At the same time, the contributions not only explore Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage, but also seek to make it better known outside the country.
