Book by Lyudmila Sokolyuk "Mykhailo Boychuk and his school"

• The monograph is the first deep and detailed study of the work of Mykhailo Boychuk and representatives of his school as one of the most striking phenomena of the Ukrainian "executed Renaissance".
• The universal system of monumentalism and the new pedagogical principles created by Boychuk are considered in the closest connection with the artistic issues of the time, historical, cultural and political events in Ukraine from the end of the 19th century to the destruction of Boychukism in 1937. The place and significance of Boychuk in the development of national artistic culture both in Ukraine and beyond are revealed.
• The works of Boychuk and his students, analyzed in the context of European synchronicity, are accompanied by appropriate lists indicating their location in order to avoid further confusion that has appeared in a number of modern publications.
• The book represents Ukrainian artistic modernism in a European and global context. In addition to art historical analysis, the book explores the relationship between art and the ideology of the Soviet regime, which ultimately led to the tragic demise of an entire art school.
• The publication contains 48 pages with color reproductions of the artworks of Mykhailo Boychuk and Boychukists. For ease of use of the book, a name index has been developed.
