Abstract:
One of the most productive ways of the formation of aesthetic values is means of art. It has unique
possibilities of influence on personal diversity and should be considered not only as a source of the development of
special artistic abilities and purely artistic skills as well as a universal remedy, the formation of worldviews and
value orientations, spiritual potential, imaginative and associative thinking of the personality, general cultural and
social and cultural competences.
Donna Tartt’s novel "The Goldfinch" is a high-value literary work, extremely deep and multifaceted and
provides opportunities for analytic study. It touches upon the problems of art perception and the role of art in the
process of character formation.
