Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the concept of the guitar in the evolutionary processes of modern art. A comparative analysis of the concept in the correlation of media – literature – music has been made, which allows us to follow the symbolism of the guitar not only as a musical instrument but also as a certain marker of the sensual world of a person, of his experiences, and emotions. The example of world art used in the article (primarily Western European), proves that this symbol is unique to the culture of Spain, praised in literary texts (F. Lorca), and is also a part of the global cultural space, for example Ukraine (V. Sausyura, V. Holoborodko, V. Molotkov). Media reflection on the symbolism of the guitar is valuable. It is about the use of the guitar image on advertising posters of musical events during the Russian-Ukrainian war (2022-2023). This proves the dominance of the guitar concept in the modern art space of Ukraine, during the greatest upheavals in the independent history of this country.
