He received his initial art education from AI Stolbov in Vyatka. In 1921 he entered the painting department of the State Art Museum (later Vkhutemas), then studied at GINKhUK under Malevich. In 1932–1934 he was a postgraduate student at the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture at the Academy of Arts of the USSR. He also studied with I. E. Braz, K. S. Petrov-Vodkin, N. E. Radlov. Immediately after graduation in 1926, he began to collaborate with the department of children's and youth literature of the State Publishing House, where, under the artistic direction of V. V. Lebedev, he found himself in the interpretation of the themes and images of Russian folklore - fairy tales. In the 1930s illustrations for the books "Swamp", "Humpbacked Horse" P. II brought him fame. Kriizha, "Fifty Little Pigs" by K. I. Chukovsky, "Three Bears" by L. I. Tolstoy. At the same time, he made elegant and fascinating lithographic prints for children, based on the same plot motifs. During the war years, Vasnetsov was the chief artist of the Toy Institute, where he performed poetic illustrations for "English Folk Songs" by S. Ya. Marshak (1943), and then for his book "Cat's House" (1947). Success brought him illustrations for the folklore collections "The Miracle Ring" (1947) and "Fables in the Faces" (1948). The well-known collections "Ladushki" (1964) and "Rainbow-arc" (1969) became a kind of result of his many years of activity. In 1979, a retrospective exhibition of Vasnetsov's works was held at the State Russian Museum.
