Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo

Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo (1894-1982) was a Ukrainian modernist painter and theatrical artist who spent most of his life in France. His work combined elements of Constructivism, Surrealism, and Modernism. His artworks are housed in museums in Paris (Centre Pompidou), London, Vienna, New York, and Rome. He created both paintings and scenographic compositions, where the balance between color, form, and space played a key role.

The painting "Abstraction" embodies his pursuit of purity of form and color balance. Geometric elements and subtle interactions of planes create a structured space filled with inner dynamics. The composition stands out for its rigor, conciseness, and refined rhythm.

The 1970s marked a period of deep exploration of abstraction for Andriienko-Nechytailo. His art from this time is a significant part of European modernism and the Ukrainian avant-garde.

This work captivates with its structural clarity and perfect balance of form and color. It not only reflects the aesthetics of modernism but also creates a sense of spatial equilibrium, resonating with the viewer on an intuitive level.
