Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo

Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo — was a world-renowned Ukrainian modernist and a prominent representative of the École de Paris. He worked in the field of experimental theatrical scenography in Odesa, Bucharest, Prague, and Paris. His artistic style encompassed avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism. His works are housed in museums in Paris (Centre Pompidou), London, Vienna, New York, and Rome.

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.
