'''Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo''' (French ''Michel Andreenko'', also known as ''Mikhail Andriyenko-Nechitailo'' "''Mykhaylo Andreenko''", among other variations) (1894–1982) was a renowned Ukrainian, French, and Russian [[Modernist]] painter and [[stage designer]].

Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo was born in 1894 in Odesa Ukraine.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mykhailo Andriienko-Nechytailo |url=https://en.uartlib.org/ukrainian-artists/andriienko-nechytailo-mykhailo/ |website=Ukrainian Art Library |access-date=9 February 2024}}</ref> In 1912–1917, he studied under [[Nicholas Roerich|Roerikh]], Rylov, and Bilibin at the art school of the [[Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts]] in [[Saint Petersburg]]. In 1914–1916, he exhibited the composition ''Black Dome'' and his first cubist works in [[Saint Petersburg]]. In 1914, he participated in an international graphics exhibition in [[Leipzig]]. In 1917–1924, he devoted most of his time to designing stage sets for various theaters—in Saint Petersburg, [[Odesa]], [[Prague]], [[Paris]], and for the Royal Opera in [[Bucharest]]. In Paris, where he lived from 1923, he also worked on sets for the films Casanova and Sheherazade. He continued to paint in the cubist-constructivist style (e.g., ''Composition'' (1924), ''Construction'' 1924, or ''A Person'' 1926). In the 1930s, Andriienko-Nechytailo produced a series of surrealist paintings (e.g., ''A Fair Stall'' 1933). He switched to neorealism in the 1940s and painted a number of portraits as well as a series, the Cityscapes Disappearing Paris (such as ''Rue Carpeaux'' 1946, ''Rue Paul Barruel'' 1954, ''Rue Cambronne'' 1954, and ''Paysage du Cycle'' 1956). From 1958, he returned to constructivism and abstraction. Andriienko-Nechytailo's work is characterized by a precision of composition that harmonizes subtly with color. His stage sets are remarkable for their laconic quality and architectural schematism, and his costume designs for their richness. His paintings can be found in the City Museum of Modern Art and the Arsenal Library in Paris, the National Library in Vienna, the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] in [[London]], the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art|Metropolitan Museum]] in New York, the [[Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum of Lviv|National Museum]] in [[Lviv]], and Ukrainian émigré museums and private art collections.
