The painting "By the Apple Tree" (1919-1920) is called an icon of Ukrainian modernism, combining religious and national, mythical and everyday, elements of Byzantine, classical, and modern painting. This is one of the few surviving paintings by Tymko Boichuk. The artist died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, and most of his works disappeared during the Soviet crackdown on Boichukism in the 1930s, when Mykhailo Boichuk and other Boichukists were executed, and almost all of their artistic heritage was destroyed. Now the painting "By the Apple Tree" is housed in the National Art Museum of Ukraine. Art critics still differ in interpreting the meanings embedded in the painting.
