Anatoly Petrytsky
1895-1964

Raised in an orphanage from the age of 8, showing an early interest in theatre. Enrolled at the Kiev Art School in 1910 and attended the studio of Alexander Murashko from 1914, the year his work was first exhibited in public. Attended Exter’s studio before moving to Moscow in 1922, studying with Drevin and Udaltsova, who fostered his interest in Constructivism. Returned to Kiev in 1924 and became a central figure of Ukrainian Modernism, fusing Futurist poetry, theatre and design into a dynamic new language. His painting Invalids won first prize at the All-Ukrainian Exhibition of 1927 and was exhibited at the 1930 Venice Biennale (where it was awarded a medal). >> Read more
