Due to his father's paralytic illness, the family had to settle in a colony for disabled people in Poltava Oblast, where Anatol spent his childhood. Later, he was sent to an orphanage in Kyiv. Living in the city, Anatol was able to visit Kyiv Opera, and soon started creating amateur plays together with other orphans. Having noticed his talent, Petrytskyi's tutors financed his artistic education. From 1912 to 1918, he studied at the Kyiv Art School During his studies, Petrytskyi travelled to Saint Petersburg and Moscow, visiting the Hermitage Museum and Tretyakov Gallery.

Petrytsky's painting "Disabled" was presented at the Venice Biennale of 1930, received a high grade, and then traveled to America for several years as part of an exhibition of paintings, many of which were mentioned by the European press. Starting from the mid-1930s, Petrytskyi was forced to justify his "formalism" before the increasingly totalitarian Soviet regime. For instance, while recognizing the high artistic level of Pablo Picasso's works, he called them "alien" in the class sense. Despite his earlier participation in the modernist and avantgarde movements, Petrytskyi continued to be valued by the government, receiving the title of People's Artist of USSR in 1944 and two Stalin Prizes in 1949 and 1951.
