Vasil Komitov is Romanian painter. He studied at the Nicolae Grigorescu Academy of Art, Bucharest, from 1912 to 1915, but did not complete his course. In 1924 the Official Salon in Bucharest awarded him a travel grant for painting, and he visited France and northern Italy. He exhibited regularly at the Official Salon, with the association Our Group (Grupul Nostru) in 1933, at the Romanian pavilion at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris in 1937 and in other exhibitions of Romanian art abroad. Between 1921 and 1928 he painted flatly and with closed outlines, using ochres and browns. After 1930 he became influenced by the colours of the School of Paris, especially those of Matisse, Bonnard and Raoul Dufy.
