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.^{[citation needed]}

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" 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]
