The paper, proceeding from the framework of post-non-classical, Christian-oriented psychology, raises the problem of psychological aspects of transformation of fi ne arts and tries to identify its underlying cause. The most signifi cant transformation is associated with avant-garde. The paper analyses dynamics in the change of graphic style of creative work of several artists standing at the origin of avant-garde, and shows that these dynamics generally correspond to the reverse order of developing graphic skills of children. Such forms of new art as installation, performance and actionism are analysed as well. It is considered that the dynamics of their transformation correspond to the reverse order of development of imagination of the child back to the earliest stage. This stage is characterised by binary operations that tend to be distorted as a result of degradation to absurdity and nonsense. The application of the traditional psychological principle of development can hardly give any defi nite evaluation of these phenomena; there is no answer to the question in what direction and for what reason the person has to develop, the main point being that he or she should be changing and doing something new. However, this problem can be solved in psychology which is oriented towards Christian anthropology. Аny degradation is moving away from God.
