  • Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912
    perished because of a negative and exclusive solution to the question of shading. Our age is obliged by force of circumstances to finish what our predeces- sors passed on to us. The path of search in this direction is broad, its bends are diverse, its forks numerous; the solutions will be many. Among them, those connected in our art with the name of A. Exter will remain as an ex- ample of courage, freedom, and subtlety. The upsurge of strength and courage in the plastic arts wanes neither beyond the Rhine nor at home, and it is expressed in the high level of pure painting unprecedented in our coun- try, a phenomenon that is characteristic of its contemporary state. DAVID BURLIUK Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912 For biography see p. 8. The text of this piece, "Kubizm," is from an anthology of poems, prose pieces, and articles, Poshchechina obshchestvennomu vkusu [A Slap in the Face of Public Taste] (Moscow, December 1912 [according to bibl. R350, p. 17, although January 1913, according to KL], pp. 95-101 [bibl. R275]. The collection was prefaced by the famous declaration of the same name signed by David Burliuk, Velimir Khlebni- kov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, and Vladimir Mayakovsky and dated December 1912. The volume also contained a second essay by David Burliuk on texture [bibl. R269], verse by Khlebnikov and Benedikt Livshits, and four prose sketches by Vasilii Kan- dinsky [for further details see bibl. 133, pp. 45-50]. Both the essay on cubism and the one on texture were signed by N. Burliuk, although it is obvious that both were written by David and not by Nikolai (David's youngest brother and a poet of some merit).

Red Cavalry Riding. Articles from Britannica Encyclopedias for elementary and high school students. The movement did have a handful of supporters amongst the Russian avant garde but it was dwarfed by its sibling constructivism whose manifesto harmonized better with the ideological sentiments of the revolutionary communist government during the early days of Soviet Union. What's more, as the writers and abstract pundits were occupied with what constituted writing, Malevich came to be interested by the quest for workmanship's barest basics. Black Square. Woman Torso. The painting's quality has degraded considerably since it was drawn. Guggenheim —an early and passionate collector of the Russian avant-garde—was inspired by the same aesthetic ideals and spiritual quest that exemplified Malevich's art.

  • Cubo-Futurism
    Notes Cubo-Futurism Slap in theFace of Public Taste 1 . These two paragraphs are a caustic attack on the Symbolist movement in general, a frequent target of the Futurists, and on two of its representatives in particular: Konstantin Bal'mont (1867-1943), a poetwho enjoyed enormouspopu­ larityin Russia during thefirst decade of this century, was subsequentlyforgo tten, and died as an emigrein Paris;Valerii Briusov(18 73-1924), poetand scholar,leader of the Symbolist movement, editor of the Salles and literary editor of Russum Thought, who after the Revolution joined the Communist party and worked at Narkompros. 2. Leonid Andreev (1871-1919), a writer of short stories and a playwright, started in a realistic vein following Chekhov and Gorkii; later he displayed an interest in metaphysicsand a leaning toward Symbolism. He is at his bestin a few stories written in a realistic manner; his Symbolist works are pretentious and unconvincing. The use of the plural here implies that, in the Futurists' eyes, Andreev is just one of the numerousepigones. 3. Several disparate poets and prose writers are randomly assembled here, which stresses the radical positionof the signatories ofthis manifesto, who reject indiscriminately aU the literaturewritt en before them. The useof the plural, as in the previous paragraphs, is demeaning. Maksim Gorkii (pseud. of Aleksei Pesh­ kov, 1�1936), Aleksandr Kuprin (1870-1938), and Ivan Bunin (1870-1953) are writers of realist orientation, although there are substantial differences in their philosophical outlook, realistic style, and literary value. Bunin was the first Rus­ sianwriter to wina NobelPrize, in 1933.AJeksandr Biok (1880-1921)is possiblythe best, and certainlythe most popular, Symbolist poet.

This is the National Gallery, which contains Britain's best-known collection of pictures. The collection was begun in 1824, with the purchase of thirty-eight pictures that included Hogarth's satirical "Marriage a la Mode" series, and Titian's "Venus and Adonis". The National Gallery is rich in paintings by Italian masters, such as Raphael, Correggio, and Veronese, and it contains pictures representative of all European schools of art such as works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, Murillo, El Greco, and nineteenth century French masters.

    SVETLANA DZHAFAROVA The Life Of Russian Avant-Garde Works: An Essay In History Svetlana Dzhafarova is an art historian and since 1997 is scientific researcher with the Russian Institute for Cultural Research under the Ministry of Culture. She is an expert with the Moscow Malevich Foundation and works in the field of scientific analysis of new-found pieces of the Russian Avant-Garde. She is a published author. Under the aegis of the Russian Ministry of Culture, Svetlana Dzhafarova has organised and curated major international exhibitions since 1979; they are listed at the end of this article.

  • Dmitry Sarabyanov, Scholar and Teacher
    Experiment 23 (2017) 11-16 EXPERIMENT ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТ brill.com/expt Dmitry Sarabyanov, Scholar and Teacher Natalia Avtonomova Director, Department of Private Collections, Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow [email protected] Dmitry Vladimirovich Sarabyanov, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Art History, celebrated scholar and theoretician, outstand- ing specialist in the history of the Russian avant-garde, and one of its primary champions, is responsible for the establishment of an entire school of art his- torians and researchers. His pupils are now the authors of numerous publi- cations on twentieth-century art and include museum curators working with material objects as well as academics. Whenever I think back to my student years, I remember the lessons which I took with Dmitry Vladimirovich in museums and other depositories, spe- cifically in the Tretyakov Gallery. He was able to summon our attention from youthful distractions to the original works of art and to concentrate on stylistic analysis, endeavoring to teach us how to scrutinize a painting, while relating it to the museum environment. This kind of hands-on experience was espe- cially important to Dmitry Vladimirovich because he believed that only such an integral assessment of the object would allow him to penetrate to the es- sence of the creative process, to the innermost depths of the artistic entity. In other words, the true, analytical “apparatus” of the reseacher was to be distin- guished by accuracy, precision, and clarity, and I can attest that these qualities accompanied Dmitry Vladimirovich’s own enquiries, especially into the art of the avant-garde which, as a matter of fact, is extremely difficult to describe and assess.
