In 1912 the house#10 the sand streets (now ul Professora Popova) was occupied by one of the fathers of Russian avant-garde musician, artist, theorist, co-author of the legendary futurist opera "Victory over the Sun Michael Matyushin (1861-1934) and his wife, poet and artist Elena Guro (1877-1913). Home Matyushin several decades been a center of cultural life of the city, uniting the avant-garde artists of all stripes. Burliuks, Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Velimir Khlebnikov - they were all regular visitors, and some - even by guests at home. Here, in 2006. The museum opened in St. Petersburg avant-garde.

The end of May at the Museum of St. Petersburg is the vanguard of the exhibition "Every young, young, young ..." from the State Museum of St. Petersburg.

and a few pages of the catalog of the exhibition

and a few more .......

  And where is this said? : confused:

The first photo Kruchyonykh lies on the lap Matyushina, and his feet kept Malevich. In the second, ceremonial photo in a photo studio court photographer K. Bull, 1913, M. Matyushin, Kruchenykh, P. Filonov, I. Shkolnik, K. Malevich. When going along just as many outstanding people display the results of their intellectual activity, too, as a rule, is outstanding.

The museum that opened just 3 years ago, the whole situation is saved last wife Olga K. Matyushina, including the things Elena Guro, who lived in this house a few months. The house was a tenement, after sending it to the museum several times going over and restored. About him very few people know, but it is well worth the visit. On the terrace are musical evenings and seminars.

This museum is really worth a visit, he is in a quiet area five minutes walk from the subway map route marked Petrogradskaya.Na red circles

This is not surprising, avant-garde in general is not art for the masses. : (But the last time in Paris I took a taxi whose driver did not know where the Pompidou Center: eek:

When people talk about the avant-garde in connection with Mikhail Vasilyevich Matyushin, few people remember that he was born in 1861, ie revolution of 1917 he met in 55 years. He - an aristocrat, with a conservatory education, "the first violin of the Imperial Orchestra", and then later: writer, philosopher, artist.
This is what I had to think about the future, to write "Victory over the Sun" in collaboration with, while still very young: Kazimir Malevich (born 1878) and Alexei torsion (born 1886)

Arguments have arisen in connection with fresh links about the museum:
