Abstract
This article examines the artistic vision of the “Lost Generation” in the works of Ernest Hemingway, focusing on the influence of World War I on his worldview and literary style. The study explores how Hemingway’s personal war experience shaped his perception of human existence, morality, and emotional expression. Particular attention is given to his modernist aesthetics, minimalist style, and the “Iceberg Theory” as key elements reflecting the psychological condition of the postwar generation. The research concludes that Hemingway’s works provide a profound artistic representation of disillusionment, alienation, and moral uncertainty characteristic of the Lost Generation.
