This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, the global information and communication system radically changed the conditions for cultural exchange and interaction, education and communication. The purpose of the article is to identify the main trends in the development of modern art and the conditions for increasing the effectiveness of training future specialists in fine and decorative arts by means of the synthesis of expressive means and materials. It is emphasized that the artistic image is a central, system-forming concept for various types of arts, a productive way of knowing the real reality, which is characterized by convention, ambiguity, and incompleteness. Artists use artistic means to create external connections, the totality of which forms a special environment. In the course of the research, it was found that starting from the end of the 20th century, Ukrainian visual and professional decorative arts gradually got rid of post-Soviet stereotypes, developed in the European direction, in the direction of modernism and postmodernism, but were based on a centuries-old national background. In the conditions of a steady trend towards integration and the search for new imagery, the boundaries of traditional types of fine art are gradually blurring, and decorative art is actively involved in solving the problems of fine art. In the course of solving new problems of visual art, the role of the synthesis of expressive means, materials, borrowing and interactions between types of art, stylistic searches and technological experiments is strengthened. It has been proven that a balanced combination of the principles and methods of academic teaching of drawing and painting and experimental creative research in the educational process, as well as an understanding of the imagery of modern art, will ensure the proper formation of professional competencies of future artists and art teachers. Methodological aspects of training future specialists in fine and decorative arts in the conditions of the formation of a new image of modern art require further research.
