Nechitailo, Vasily Kirillovich Vasili Kirillovich Nechitailo was born in Nikolaevskoe, the province of Rostov-on-Don, in 1915. In 1931 he began his study of art at the Krasnodar Art Tekhnikum where he remained until 1935. In 1935 the artist entered into preparatory art courses at the Surikov Institute. After approximately two years of preparation, Nechitailo enrolled in the Moscow Art Institute as a full time student under the tutelage of the revered professor Alexander Gerasimov. He attended the Institute from 1937 to 1942. The artist then enrolled in their graduate program in 1942. In 1943, while still attending the Surikov, Nechitailo and 11 other academically accomplished artists were evacuated to Samarkand, Uzbekistan for the duration of the war. It looked like Moscow might fall to the Germans so the Soviet government decided to evacuate their most promising artists who they saw as cultural assets. He returned and completed his graduate degree in 1944. He was honored with the opportunity to teach at the Surikov Institute from 1948 until 1956. Vasili Nechitailo began to actively exhibit in 1945. Nechitailo died in Moscow in 1980.

His landscapes are distinguished for their composition and color harmony as well as for their exquisite and laconic style. His portraits of laborers, all healthy and strong, reflect his optimistic view of the typical Soviet village and collective farm after the war. As one critic has noted, his extraordinary paintings of people form a collective portrait of his time." -The Museum of Russian Art, Minnesota
