Abstract. The research aims to identify the main forms of implementation of the idea of the synthesis of arts in the artistic discourse of unofficial art in the 1960s-1980s. The paper notes the general patterns and characteristics of the creative method of Moscow and Leningrad unofficial artists rethinking the heritage of the past. Special attention is given to the study of the relationship between unofficial art and the tradition of avant-garde as one of the vivid examples of expression of the idea of synthesis of arts. The research is novel in that it is the first to provide a new understanding of how the idea of the synthesis of arts is interpreted in the creative work of unofficial artists in terms of the embodiment of the synthesis of arts within their paintings and the creation of new spatial objects and performative practices. As a result, it is proved that the embodiment of the idea of the synthesis of arts in the creative work of unofficial artists in the 1960s-1980s maintains the line of succession with the legacy of avant-garde related to preserving the unity of painting, music and theater, which contributes to the development of new artistic systems.
