Tymko Boychuk (09/27/1896 - 07/13/1922) is a Ukrainian artist who worked in the fields of monumentalism, easel painting and book graphics. Tymko is the younger brother and follower of Mykhailo Boychuk, the founder of Boychukism - an art school and modernist movement that encompassed various artistic fields and aimed to integrate art into everyday life. Boychukists, starting in the 1910s, created a new Ukrainian style, synthesizing modernism with the acquisitions of Byzantium, Kyivan Rus and Ukrainian folk art.
The painting “By the Apple Tree” (1919-1920) is called an icon of Ukrainian modernism, which combines religious and national, mythological and everyday, elements of Byzantine, classical and modern painting. This is one of the few surviving paintings by Tymko Boychuk. The artist died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, and most of his works disappeared during the Soviet crackdown on Boychukism in the 1930s, when Mykhailo Boychuk and other Boychukists were shot, and almost all of their artistic heritage was destroyed. Now the painting “By the Apple Tree” is kept in the National Art Museum of Ukraine. Art historians still disagree on the interpretation of the meanings embedded in the painting.
