LOT NOTES Vasyl Yermylov was an important Ukrainian avant-garde artist and designer. He attended the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture as of 1912, where he met Vladimir Mayakovsky and David Burliuk. By 1913, Yermylov was training in the studios of Ilya Mashkov and Pyotr Konchalovsky. As the revolutionary years approached, Yermylov was intricately involved in many of the influential avant-garde artists groups and propaganda agencies born during this fertile artistic period, including the League of Seven group (founder), UKROSTA (head), Red Ukraine, and the Association of Revolutionary Art of the Ukraine (ARMU), together with David Burliuk, Vadim Meller, Alexander Bogomazov, Victor Palmov, and others.
