biography

Vasily Jermilow first learned ornamental art from 1905 to 1909 in the workshop of Libor Trakal . Between 1910 and 1911 he studied at the University of Applied Arts in Kharkiv with M. Feodorov. From 1911 to 1912 he was a member of the "Golubaja Lilija" (Blue Lily) in Kharkiv.

In 1912 he moved to the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and met Vladimir Mayakovsky and Dawid Burlyuk in the same place . The following year he also took lessons in the studios of Ilya Mashkov and Pyotr Konchalovsky in Moscow . Jermilow took lessons in the studio of Eduard Steinberg and O. Hrot from 1913 to 1914 , as he was interested in fresco painting and mosaics , and was a member of the “Budiak” group in Kharkiv.

In 1914 he went back to the University of Applied Arts in Kharkiv, where he graduated with a diploma as a painter. Four years later he founded the group "Alliance of Seven" with the artist Marija Sinjakowa and exhibited with the "Alliance of Seven" in Kharkiv that same year.

In 1919 Jermilow founded a working group for trade teachers in Kharkiv and designed posters and decorations for May Day in 1919 and 1920 . In 1920 Yermilov became head of the telegraph office for propaganda purposes (UKROSTA) and designer for the agitprop movement "Red Ukraine" and for the officers' mess of the Red Army in Kharkiv.

From 1921 to 1922 he worked at the Kharkiv Art School and in 1921 designed the agitprop train of the "Red Ukraine". In 1922 Jermilow became a founding member of the Technical Art Institute in Kharkiv and began to teach at the Kharkiv Institute of Applied Arts (1922-1935, 1944-1947, 1963-1967).

1925 Yermilov member of the "Association Revoultionärer art of Ukraine" (Armu) - among others David Burliuk, Vadym Meller , Alexander Bogomasow , Viktor Palmow and took three years later with El Lissitzky , Vadym Meller and Alexander Tyshler at the International Press - Exhibition Pressa in Cologne . Here he also designed the appearance of the Ukrainian stand. Between 1928 and 1929 he was the artistic director of the magazine "Avantgarde" and headed the magazine "Novoje iskusstwo" (Russian for "New Art"); at the same time he designed book covers, illustrations for Ukrainian magazines and interior design. Since 1939 he was a member of the Kharkiv Group of the Artists Union of Ukraine.

After 1932, Yermilov came into conflict with the official art and culture line of the Soviet Union, which had declared socialist realism to be the only correct art direction with the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU "On the fight against formalism in art" of April 23, 1932 . Yermilov was accused of formalism and cosmopolitanism, and in 1949 he was excluded from the Association of Fine Artists, in which he was only re-admitted ten years later. He was forced to earn his living by designing clubhouses and study rooms for party officials as well as teaching. The only solo exhibition in his lifetime took place in 1962, and he was fully rehabilitated in the same year.

The artist's studio was destroyed by fire and his works are scattered in numerous private collections and museums around the world.

Until his death in January 1968, Yermilov taught regularly and exhibited at national (since 1909) and international (since 1928) levels. Solo exhibitions of his work in Kharkiv took place in 1963, 1969 and 1994.

On March 22, 2012, a center for contemporary art was opened in Kharkiv, named after him "Yermilov Center", which awards various grants for cultural projects.
