In an article based on the book by L.S. Vygotsky’s “Psychology of Art” examines the principles that the author attributes to discursivity, which determined the formation and development of the scientific discipline of the same name “psychology of art”. The author identifies and analyzes four such principles: the complementarity of the analysis of specific works of art and the characteristics of the essence of art, the reliance of psychological comprehension and analysis on art historical knowledge, the principle of historicity and the similarity of the creative process of a psychologist with a number of thinking strategies known in philosophy. In conclusion, Vygotsky's approach to understanding art is compared with the approach of Mikhail Bakhtin.
