Abstract

The object of research in the article is creolized texts, in particularfriendly cartoons andcaricatures. The author defines creolized texts astexts, the structure of which consists of two components of different sign systems —verbal and non-verbal. For interpretation, the author selected eighteenfriendlycartoonsandcaricatures of Ulas Samchuk. These are the works by Edward Kozak, Teodor Kurpita, Mykola Stepanenko, Roman Kupchynsky, and other cartoon-ists.The purpose of the article is to consider the peculiarities of the representation of Ulas Samchuk in these texts; to add new —(not) serious —details to his image established in lit-erary studies; to reveal the essence of satirical and humorous views of caricaturists on liter-ary and semi-literary processes, in which the writer was an active participant.Contextual analysis, art historical and biographical methods were used to achieve this goal.As a result of the research, it was concluded that caricaturesand friendly cartoonsof Ulas Samchuk are effectivemethodsfor insightful private characterization of a creative personali-ty. They supplement the writer's official biography and activities with fascinating or curious details. The image of the writer is maintained within a certain canon: he is a kind middle-aged man, dressed in an emphatically refined suit with an indispensable bow tie and certain writerly or authoritative (characteristic forartistic circles) attributes.Creolized texts at the artistic level comprehended the creative personality and their activ-ities in time and space, provided information about the attitude of the creative elite towards the artistic processes of the interwar and post-war eras. Caricatures andfriendlycartoonshave preserved the unpredictability, ambiguity and reticence of Ulas Samchuk’s perceived figure. This made it possible to complete the image of the writer in a different way in the new political and timerealities, to interpret his transformations, to supplement the official por-trait of the artist with new strokes and details.Keywords:caricature; friendly cartoon; creolized text; verbal and nonverbal components; bi-ography; image of the writer; UlasSamchuk; Artistic Ukrainian Movement (MUR)
