In early 1907, Nikolai Ivanovich Kulbin, 46-year-old assistant professor of the Military Medical Academy, head physician of the General Staff, as well as artist and patron drew young brothers and Burliuks Lentulova to the artistic life in St. Petersburg.
In the spring of 1908 in St. Petersburg was held back two exhibitions under the same name - "Wreath". One of them exhibited artists-modernists, the former members of the "Blue Rose", on the other, arranged with the active participation Kulbin - the left part of the "Crown" (V. Burliuk, D. Burliuk, L. Burliuk-Kuznetsova, Kuznetsov, A. Lentulov, A. Exter) and "artistic-psychological group" N. Kulbin "Triangle" (N. Kulbin, E. Spandikov, M . Anders,L.Shmit-Ryzhov, A. Nikolaev, G. Form, N. Kalmykov, M. Druzhinina, Z. Mostow , L. Meister, T. Lee, I. Shkolnik, Gippius).
(Brown, I provided the names of which are now virtually nothing is known, and I am very grateful to anyone who can find them some information).
It is the second exhibition has played a significant role in the development of Russian avant-garde. Of course, it was still a stage of search. For example, Vladimir Burliuk developed the genre of "mental pictures", he tried to create images that lead to the viewer hallucinations. According to this theory by this artist was not an artist, and viewer, or rather, his imagination.
Here is how the researcher Russian avant-garde A. Krusanov wrote about this time: "The Art Season 1907/08 was marked by the first steps of a new movement in Russian painting, a movement that in the near future, destined to spill over into music, literature, theater, cinema, penetrate almost in all areas of art, to become for a time dominant in Russia and the arts have a significant impact on the further evolution of not only Russian but also of world art.

In supplement to your message about the exhibition «Stephanos - Wreath" - Article Paul Muratova (Golden Fleece 1908, № 1)
In it, incidentally, quite an interesting description of the experiments Vladimir Burliuk with "squares with a dot in the middle." Unfortunately, I do not know what kind of brothers Burliuks were represented at the exhibition. But it would be very curious to see.
As Larionov and Goncharova, their names in the article only mentioned as an illustration "beautiful". It is known that Larionov at this exhibition presents works from the series Sad. And the greatest attention is given to Von Wiesen, Utkin and Krymov.

P.S.
About Meister was something - poroyus. But I fear that only in connection with participation in exhibitions, as I do not remember her name.

About Burlyakov sister Ludmilla:
memories of Benedict Livshits in December 1911 visited the family in Burlyakov Chernianka:

In addition to David and Vladimir, the artist was the eldest sister, Lyudmila. At the time of my arrival in Chernianka she had married and given up painting. Meanwhile, dozens of canvases in the style of Pissarro, 47 which led me there to see, showed considerable talent. The brothers were proud of it, though more of its appearance - especially the fact that at some contest physique in St. Petersburg, she received the first prize.

A few interesting facts about the exhibition "Golden Fleece":

The exhibition was presented (retaining spelling announcement in the magazine): Georges Braque, Alexander Von Wiesen, A. Deren, NS Goncharov, K. Van Donzhen, A. Karev, J. Knabe, M. Kuznetsov, Volga, Pavel Kuznetsov, M. Larionov, Le Fauconnier, G. Meng, A. Marke, A. Matveev, Matisse, Vassily Milioti, P. Naumov, K. Petrov-Vodkin, P. Plekhanov, Georges Rouault, Nicholas Riabushinskii, M. Sarian, N. Ulyanov, P. Utkin, De Flamink, Otho Friese. etc.
The exhibition was divided into two divisions - French and Russian (more than 250 works).

As for the French department, neither frost nor Shchukin not agreed to give the exhibition works from their collections, referring to the fact that they planned to organize his exhibition (which never took place). Therefore, all the work of the French Riabushinskii brought from Paris.

As for the Russian Department, at the "Golden Fleece" were invited to almost all the participants «Stefanos-Wenk" except brothers Burliuks, as David Burliuk later recalled with bitterness.
Here is the first time demonstrated his organizational abilities M. Larionov, becoming one of the active organizers of the exhibition. Perhaps that is why his work at the exhibition were the most numerous (20). Goncharova submitted 7 works. 3 own work presented Riabushinskii.

Out of respect for the organizer of the exhibition - the scans of his work. In a living, I have not seen them anywhere.

Maroussia, it is you write about the next exhibition "Golden Fleece", which was held from 11 January to 15 February 1909 in Moscow. Among the exhibitors was also a Picasso. Interestingly criticism classified exhibitors: normal (Ulyanov, Naumov, Petrov-Vodkin, Kuznetsov Volga), recovering (Larionov, Utkin, Knabe, Riabushinskii) and bad (Goncharova, Millioti, Saryan, Kuznetsov, von Wiesen). However, in a stream of curses, perhaps, the first appearance and positive feedback, in particular, Goncharova and P. Ettinger. The first of them in particular, wrote: "Surely you do not see in these images of a living spirit - the spirit of creativity and exploration, not found yet almost no one?"
