By strict chronology Qwerty want (a little late) to add some personal impressions of participants in the events.
Collages by Olga Rozanova, which she called "stickers" - a completely independent access to the geometric abstraction or Suprematism. And Alex Kruchenykh gave the palm it to her: "These stickers are born the same as the abstruse language - perish the release of unnecessary amenities (fanatical pointlessness). Previously Rozanova gave her samples are now developing several artists, including K. Malevich, Puni and others "(Universal war. B. Colored glue. Pg., 1916)

But as O. Rozanova suprematic describes the first exhibition in his letters to Kruchenykh. About the exhibition "0.10":
December, 1915
[beginning of the letter is lost], he took a picture of my car and Chertov panel. When things were brought to the exhibition, proved to be my (painting) original (later) Puni. With Oksana. I have a keen attitude to extremes. With Ivan. Albert. No, but Oksana behaves like a stupid woman and apart Malevich side Puni no strongly anybody. The catalog Puni reached the point that signed the "decider," this sense of tact did not even Zheverzheyev and Oksana says she has the right to direct all, as the exhibition on their capital and so on. This is disgusting. Do not write ...
7) Now further: Suprematism is the whole - the whole my stickers , the combination of planes, lines drives (especially disks) and absolutely no connection is real. of the objects. and after all this all this scum hiding my name.
8) Does you Malevich stickers and when exactly?
Unfortunately I gave only suprematic reliefs (4), and the painting has not given (pure), but my subject matter painting suprematichnee Puninskaya indefinitely ...
Malevich me a guilty look, take in sail, climbs with polite service, not recognizable, the first day I urged him pointedly turned her back ...

December, 1915
[beginning of the letter is lost]
Under his paintings are signed at the exhibition on the wall (not in catalog) "Suprematism", but I had not signed, so a fool Rostislav my review is not ranked in this group, but generally gave about the exhibition, and in particular, for me a good tip .
Visits the exhibition badly. On the opening day was 200 with a small man - is the most miserable opening day that I ever had to endure. To satisfy your curiosity, here's a copy of Malevich's paintings:
The lady in the car (pic)
Boating (rice)
Not bought cards, so what a pity money. I have a few of them. Pictures of these in different colors. And not black and white.
The most disgusting in all this show and the artist - is that everything is being done by stealth, and if everyone had - cared only about themselves ", there is more than just care about how they could, whatever else was hurt. Therefore, Puni, promised me to make a frame, purposely did not do it, pictures that were kind of ragged, distorted the catalog, and lots of other little things that even Malevich forced to admit that it is disgusting.
To what extent Oksana snake - I do not even suspected. Malevich them as a footman, and the strength of the organization depends on how long it will remain satisfied with his "place", because apart from him good [end of the letter is lost]

Beginning 1916
I recently I received a lengthy letter from Klyunkova. Flattering and disturbing.
They are afraid that the group Bruni, Tatlin and others will come more significant in size, in the sense of success with the public than Supremacist.
Appeals to me.
Says Suprematists must work closely and harmoniously work, etc., and calls me a "rare" hudozhn. and pr ...
Klyunkov wrote that tatlinskaya group organize.
Sent me a receipt (instead of a membership card, tickets, everything came out) from the Jack of Diamonds. Suprematists dream too individual exhibitions were held. 3 people!

You do not hold Pavel. Falk, in contrast to other representatives of the Jack of Diamonds is not corrupted, and played the new faces talent. Falk as one of the few throughout the creative ways remains fresh. His late portraits, landscapes and still lifes are very good.

Gu e im Levkovich

I judge Falke to work in the Tretyakov Gallery and in his book or about him. Work eerie gray and dark. He took a lot of early work that byle performed on one spirit and style of late, led to the blackening of layering.

Paul! I can not agree with you!
Works wonderfully! gray: from pearl gray to gray-yellow-green or gray-blue-violet. Even "Red Furniture" in my opinion, and she - with a light coating of nacre. I have nobody else had not seen such shades of gray. I sometimes think that the gray - a favorite color Falk, although Shchekin-Krotov believed that green.

But there is furniture.
And someone else sees in this multilayered, colorful, special glow. Yes, probably late, posleparizhskih, works no big bright spots, but there is another charm.
(Just remember "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Luis Buñuel.)
Take a look at two things made in the evacuation.

A little more about the Hope Liubavin
 

COP! Thank you for the image!

[color="# 666686"]Posted 1 hour 34 minutes[/color]
Perhaps the most famous "project" Hope Liubavin was the idea of creating a museum in St. Petersburg city signs (so favored by the Russian avant-garde). Together with Vera Ermolayeva and Nina Kogan (with whom she later worked in Vitebsk), they saved more than one product of unknown masters in the cold and hungry post-revolutionary Petrograd.
The fruits of their labors are still kept in the Museum of the City of St. Petersburg.

In 1922, Hope Lyubavina married a professor of Hindu devotee Velimir Khlebnikov, and apparently left Russia in the early 1920's.

We must look at nature. Our critics say over-analysis praise. The best thing to compare putting together. Red furniture is also darkened, but what a vibrant painting, because it is built composition. Other paintings are sketches rather than paintings with all the consequences ie nepostroennoy composition, hence smearing, the lack of tonal dominants.
Color itself is not the case, the color is always component composition, ie important not the color and what role it plays, than surrounded and how interacts with other colors and tones. Therefore, if vyepiraet gray or another color that is a mistake.

Red furniture Falk wrote in 34 years, in the 20 th year, and Samarkand "sketches", as you, Pavel, put it in the 57-year old already.
It is clear that the manner of the artist and the age varies, and some, perhaps, the problem he poses.

It's not the way, but in the loss of expressiveness. I advise you to compare the Furniture and Etudes-strained left. But Picasso strained basis as in Matisse. Why I say that before he had the expressiveness and then left, appeared smearing, mediocrity, ordinariness. The severity of a composition is achieved, and in later works eeu him no.
