The article explores Russian non‐figurative art as an overlooked dimension in art history and the role that work played in global art history. Special attention is given to identifying theoretical and practical aspects of the interaction between philosophy and art as specific types of spirituality, understanding their special role in worldview searches of contemporary humans, the formation of a new worldview paradigm. The practical significance of the results obtained consists of the possibility of their use in educational activities, in particular, in preparation of lecture courses on the history of Russian art of the 20th century, as well as the development of special courses on issues of contemporary fine and visual arts in art academies. The materials in the study present practical value for the formation of museum collections and the holding of exhibitions.
