Therefore, in the XVI century was written “Leksys s tolkovaniiem slovenskykh slov prosto” (Ukrainian lexicography), which contains interpretation of words in Ruthenian language. Prominent masterpiece of Ruthenian language is “Peresopnytske Yevanheliie” (Peresopnytsia Gospels), which was written in 1556-1561. During XV-XVIII century literature was composed in Latin.

The development of the visual arts dates from ancient time. Archaeological finds, therefore, of the period of Trypillian and Scythian cultures are differs in original technique of the ability of the hand and testify the high artistic level of creations of ancestors of contemporary Ukrainians. Pieces of art of Rus’, which were bound with Christian church, are still in existence. Leading genres of visual arts of Rus’ were mosaic, fresco, icing painting and book-miniature. Icing painting had been the leading genre of painting until the XVII-XVIII century. Secular genres, therefore, portraiture, later landscape and pictorial art in the tideway of classicism began to develop in Ukraine beginning from XVIII century. In the middle of XIX century realism has shifted classicism. The beginning of XX century is characterized with a great deal of different artistic movements, therefore, with primitivism, and with the beginning of 1930, Soviet art began to develop in the line with socialist realism, which was proclaimed the only allowed artistic method. In the 60-70th Ukrainian Art began to split up into official art and underground art, which was free from political bias. New phase of artistic expression in Kyiv began with the arising of Underground art in 1987. Association of artists has arranged the exhibition of young generation, and in the beginning of 2000, with the end of Orange Revolution, was established the group of new generation R.E.S. (Revolutionary Experimental Space).

Ukrainian performing arts falls at the beginning of ancient time. Well-known drama performances of skomorokhs with elements of theatre were part of benefit of clergy in the era of Rus’. And frescoes in the walls of St. Sophia Cathedral confirm it. Original samples of drama were proclaimed by the pupils of Kyiv Brats’ka school (Kyiv Mohyla Academy) and Lavrs’ka school (XVI–XVII centuries). The first permanent theater was opened in 1975 in Lviv in the former cathedral of Jesuits. The establishment of modern Ukrainian dramaturgy coincides with the beginning of XIX century and is bound with the names of Kotliarevskyi and Kvitka-Osnovianenko. At that time permanent theaters were established in Kyiv (1806), Odess (1809), Poltava (1810) and other cities. Starytskyi M., Kropyvnytskyi M. and Ivan Karpenko-Karyi had made a significant contribution into the development of theater in the second half of XIX century. New period in the history of national theater began in 1918, when was established the State drama theatre and “Molodyy teatr” (beginning from 1922 – modern Ukrainian theater “Berezil', named after Les’ Kurbas and Hnat Yura. But with the beginning of period of social realism innovative findings of Ukrainian artists were suppressed, and a number of activists (among of which were Les’ Kurbas and Hnat Yura) were executed.
