Abstract
The paper researches an artist’s workshop as a specific space and subject of artistic representations in literary works. The Ukrainian nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, as well as memoirs and testimony, were used to analyze the interplay of different arts in the creative space of an artist; functionality of the art workshops during different cultural and historical periods in various cultural environments have been discussed. A distinction has been drawn between the presentation characteristic of artists and that of writers who describe the artist’s workshops; focus is placed on intermedial references typical for such descriptions. It is shown how descriptions of art accentuated spaces problematize the range of aesthetic and creative issues connected to existential experience and intentions of artists.
