Boychukism

[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: Mykhailo 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.
