Fundamental art studies in the field of land art are not yet available in Ukraine, and individual articles in periodicals do not reveal the principles of the formation of the actual Ukrainian art of the environment, its features and differences from abroad land art. To date, the phenomenon of Ukrainian land art has not received its own term and for thirty years in a row uses the borrowed foreign name «land art», while the uniqueness of
domestic environmental art is an indisputable fact. The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of land art abroad and in the system of Ukrainian contemporary art. The analysis and clarification of terminology related to land art in Ukraine has been carried out. The author's term for the phenomenon of the Ukrainian land art is offered. The study found that the application of the foreign term «land art» to the domestic art of interaction with the environment is not exhaustive, because it does not reveal the full range of creative communication
of artists with the environment and is too narrow in relation to it. At that time, the term «mystectvo dovkillja» («art of the environment»), introduced by P. Bevza, is too wide a range of artistic creativity, where «environment» is used in the sense of «environment» as one that contains the entire surrounding space. Therefore, it isn't inexpedient to apply the foreign term «land art» to the creative practices of Ukrainian artists. At the same time, «art of the environment» is too abstract a concept for the term «land art», which aims at a specific creative interaction with the earth. Environmental art aims to decorate and equip a person's place of residence, which expresses his utilitarianism and may include: both landscape art and landscape design and monumental art, itespecific art, ecological art, as preservation and repair of the Earth's resources, etc. Domestic artists work with natural materials in the natural environment in order to create a new art product. Accordingly, instead of the term «Ukrainian land art» it is appropriate to use the term «pryrodotvorche mystectvo» («natural creative art»), because the context of the Ukrainian art form is characterized by creative interaction with the natural environment and materials as a way to create a new art product. Theoretical research of the work is the basis
for further indepth scientific development of the problem, namely, the phenomenon of land art in the system of contemporary art of Ukraine.
