Boychukism
Boychukism is a cultural and artistic phenomenon in the history of
Ukrainian art of 1910–1930s, distinguished by its artistic monumental-synthetic style.[1]
The basis of Boychuk's concept of the development of new art was an appeal to the traditions of Byzantine and Italian monumental painting, as well as middle-age Rus' icon painting, as the primary source of the Ukrainian national form.
The name comes from the name of the founder of the movement: Mikhail Boychuk, a muralist and graphic artist. Boychuk, as well as several other artists, made Soviet propaganda and promoted communism. However, Boychuk was labelled as a "bourgeois nationalist" by Joseph Stalin, and he was executed.[2]
At the end of 1925, the Association of Revolutionary Art of Ukraine (ARIU) was founded in Kyiv, uniting Boychukists.[3]
