ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF ONTOLOGICAL GROUNDS FOR VISUAL ILLUSION

The article studies the paradox of visual illusion in fine arts, the essence of which is the doubling of the visible world in the image. The principle of mimesis arose simultaneously with the emergence of art in the Paleolithic era. Early man first visualized his ontological representations in Paleolithic drawings. The result was a vision-constructed world of mimesis. We study the essence of mimesis based on the anthropological concepts of A. Leroy-Gourhan, T. Dawson, M.-J. Mondzen, J. Lacan, and other thinkers. Due to the historical and genetic study of a person, it is possible to establish a clear relationship be- tween the ontological self-determination and its figurative image taken outward. The essence of visual illusion or mimesis is inseparable from the transcendent-immanent nature of a person who seeks to create his “double” through art. The visual illusion becomes the "image" that makes it possible to interpret the symbolic existence of a human of the Paleo- lithic era.
