Biography
Mykhailo Nechytailo-Andriienko (December 29, 1894, Kherson – November 12, 1982, Paris) was a Ukrainian avant-garde artist, stage designer, and writer who lived in Paris most of his life. He graduated from the Saint Petersburg Art School and the Law Faculty of Saint Petersburg University (1917). In 1914, for the first time, he participated in the international graphics exhibition in Leipzig. In 1918-1919, Nechytailo-Andriienko worked as a decorator of the K. Myklashevskyi Chamber Theater in Odesa. The political situation in the country forced the artist to go abroad, first to Romania (1920) and later to the Czech Republic (1921). In 1923, he settled down in Paris. Nechytailo-Andriienko created his most outstanding works in Cubism, Constructivism, Surrealism, and Abstractionism in the French capital. The artist's creative heritage includes numerous scenery for European theatres. Nechytailo-Andriienko also expressed himself as a writer (short stories, psychological novels) and the author of art history essays for French and Ukrainian emigrant publications. The artist participated in numerous individual and international exhibitions. Nechytailo-Andriienko's works are kept in museums in Paris, London, Vienna, New York, Rome, and many private collections.
