Maroussia, T. Zelyukina works in the Tretyakov Gallery, and although not considered a recognized expert on Drevin periodically involved in projects associated with this name, so the year before she was curator of the exhibition "Drevin-Udaltsova in House Nashokin. Indeed, there are strange examination, signed by her, but she did not naroshno ...
The best expert on Drevin is Julia Rybakova (recently retired from Grabar), although, in my opinion, no worse understands Boris Dergachev, restorer working in the same institution.
With regard to the archives, it became bad in the last decade, under Yeltsin was all much simpler.

Ten years ago, Marina Loshak on Neglinka was a remarkable exhibition of Olga Rozanova. This exhibition was produced the original booklet with very interesting article Faina Balakhovskaja, which gives an interesting version of the origin of the famous series of playing cards of the artist. Below - Some excerpts from this article.

"Playing cards" Olga Rozanova - a series of amazing and mysterious. It is not known exactly when they were written. Even more mysterious is the reason for choosing Rozanova so unexpected, even daring plot for its first large pictorial cycle. The series consists of ten images of card characters - kings, queens, jacks of all stripes and "simultaneous images of four aces."
But this is - not the main mystery Rozanov "Maps". Bright, bold card figures keep the secret, for many years, alarming researchers and visitors. Behind the mask guessed, find out the real person that has surrounded that interested and intrigued Rozanov. Pretty conventional face card characters cause many guesses, and the specific properties of a card hierarchy and anonymous stiffness (sometimes cruel) characteristics leave much room for imagination.
Previously it was believed that "Playing cards" were written in 1915, now's the time of their creation belongs to the early career of the artist, and determined it was about - between 1912 and 1914 ¬ mi. Graphic same cycle was completed in 1914, and in 1915 used in the book Kruchenykh and Alyagrova "Transrational gniga. Graphic and painted a series of slightly different composition. Picturesque images scattered after the death Rozanova on various collections, not all survived, but the archived data and directories, it is clear that they were no less than eleven. Two of the plot have been duplicated. Experienced difficult times in all seven picturesque subjects, but perished, we can imagine only more concise and less informative graphical counterparts. For unknown reasons, one can only guess, graphic cycle is not identical to the picturesque, it had disappeared one lady and was replaced by a single jack.
About Rozanova Little is known, but it seems that most of all she was interested in a fairly narrow range of heroes Petersburg avant-garde.
Following certain rules of divination, try to spread out maps and figure out who is hiding behind them.
"Jack of Hearts" - a special, unlike the other characters in the series. He boldly destroys the most important principle of cards - uniformity, even he has other attributes than the other jacks. Jack of Hearts - a very smart in a lacy shirt with wide cuffs, with a bird on his shoulder (other jacks, as expected, bearing halberds). In this picture - the only one of the series - there is a noticeable shift in futuristic forms. He reveals the mystery of Jack. Even if Kruchyonykh not been called before the "twisted" - the metaphor is obvious. In comparison with other photographs and portraits of striking not only the physical resemblance, but also well documented by photographs and portraits of the characteristic mobility of the character.

Chervonnaya lady - a kind of self-portrait card. This story of the series Rozanov particularly unlucky: lost not only the beauty "Chervonnaya lady", but two beautiful versions of "simultaneous images Chervonnaya and peak ladies. The only thing we have - linocuts. These features Chervonnaya ladies, though marked by only a few strokes - a simple rounded face, a soft line of the eyebrows, instead of the crown scarf conceals arranged around the head hair, short bangs, a small chin - are close not only the exterior of Olga Rozanova, photos of which survived quite a bit . Much more important is that they are remarkably similar for all her self-portrait images. That is, in poluprofil, Rozanova usually portrayed himself in numerous graphic self-portraits. In "At the same time the image Chervonnaya and Queen of the ladies" in Chervonnaya lady easily recognized the same character, which obscures, overlapping peaks.

The Queen of Spades - traditionally bright brunette, hard, almost harsh. Her image - one of the most vivid and expressive in the cycle. Not only features but also restrained the severity of the image, it reminds Natalia Goncharova, as we know from photographs and numerous descriptions.

On relations Olga Rozanova and Natalia Goncharova, we do not know.

Moreover, the Queen of Spades in cards - it is the main rival of the heroine and means "covert hostility". This skromnitsa Chervonnaya overlaps symbolically "lies" the beautiful peaks. Way Olga Rozanova, not marked by scandals, full of inner struggle and overcome the authority and influence - after Goncharova, Tatlin and Malevich will be.

Queen of diamonds - glamorous, socialite in a pink dress and exquisite contrast to the image - huge hands with narrow wrists. Photos of Alexandra Exter quite a bit, but her appearance and rarely described in general terms. For example, David Burliuk wrote simply - "She was young and beautiful. In other descriptions, we find a more symbolic way than a real portrait, - as, for example, in poems of Anna Akhmatova "Old Portrait" devoted to Alexandra Exter:

You pressed a golden oval
The narrow old frame,
 Negro for you a fan of blue ...
Slender white lady.
Hearths in a girl's delicate shoulders.
You look arrogant, stubborn ...
Roses in a faceted glass.

Hardly Akhmatova described it "The Knave of Spades", but one of the options paintings for many years was kept in the family of Nikolai Lunin - husband of Anna Akhmatova and Her fans, Olga Rozanova. Roses constantly linked with the image of Exter and obsessively repeated - in the photograph, in Akhmatova's poetry. Queen of diamonds is also holding something rosaceous. Exter has participated in exhibitions of "Jack of Diamonds" and the law was a "map" of the suit.
Three ladies, three cards - on the Fourth of clubs is not mentioned anywhere. But the three ladies - this is the first lady Russian avant-garde.

On the picturesque Jack of Spades is not known. Perhaps it simply did not exist, and that Jack has appeared in a series of linocuts. It is very similar to Vladimir Tatlin. Characteristic appearance complemented by a specific attribute - something like a "trowel" in his hand, the object, which are typical for masterovitogo and well-known in artistic circles that Tatlin. Another detail - the wave. The ornament, which we see in other jacks, the peak is located behind the figure and resembles a traditional sailor's collar. Jack of Spades seems to paraphrase a famous self-portrait Tatlin "Sailor", written in 1911, or cards of the same name in 1912. And the hat looks more like a Jack of Spades takes (there is a picture Tatlin in a beret, made during his training in the Penza school, it is possible that Tatlin wearing beret and later), which compared with an engine-Tatlin's self-portrait seems a bit changed sailor hat. Blue color linocuts further compares it with an engine-Tatlin.
Scenic Peak King missing. Rozanov, apparently, loved him and considered one of the best in the series, showed the other four selected cards - all three ladies and the Jack of Hearts - at an important exhibition for a "Jack of Diamonds" in 1917. King of spades is very expressive on the lino, but talk about his portrait, and in general the characteristic traits still difficult. Fairy-tale blue handsome. Narrow face, wide open eyes, high cheekbones. The romantic image of a beautiful middle-aged king. Hell is he like Wassily Kandinsky, and then the blue would be a reminder of the "Blue rider". The picture in 1911 Kandinsky very similar to Rozanov king of spades - even similar form small beard and mustache. Biographical and creatively terribly far from Olga Rozanova, he, nevertheless, should be interested in it. It is even conceivable that they met in St. Petersburg and Moscow during the short visits Kandinsky home.

Formally Rozanov deck, four king - the peak of clubs and "Simultaneous image of hearts and king of diamonds". Mention of individual images of red kings no. And in the same time the image "Diamonds Chervova so tightly, in fact, this picture of one - a king of diamonds, and" simultaneity "is perceived more as a metaphor for the royal rivalry ended with the victory of King of Diamonds.

For Rozanova Malevich could well be the king of diamonds suit - related, of course, with the exhibition "Jack of Diamonds".
Because all of our story is connected with a trick and divination, safely assume that Chervonny king - is Mikhail Larionov, objectively and subjectively repressed Malevich. It was his image, and is limited to name, symbol and color eye (a reminder about the invention Larionov Rayonism).

King of clubs. He looks like Michael Matyushina. The oldest and respectable - one of the founders of the Union of Youth ", a court musician. His position of "patriarch" card is suitable for the role of king of clubs - Head, a senior colleague, an official in a card hierarchy. Rozanov king of clubs - melancholic, very old, with long gray hair and slightly asymmetrical face. Marianne Burliuk wrote that "looking at the person [Matyushina] <... > Seemed that the nose on the mask prisazhen crooked, sideways. Probably Matyushin, who was fifty, compared to other futurists seemed Rozanova very old. Jack of clubs - less than impressive, with no apparent hints and additional attributes. This is the only map in which the characters of the graphic and pictorial images do not coincide. All other scenic images correspond to a graphic, although linocuts, of course, easier and more succinct. Suppose that under the guise of clubs Jack of hiding Lucius Zheverzheyev - philanthropist, collector and associate Rozanova of the Union of Youth.

Four Diamonds, four (at least formally) the king and the three ladies. Of clubs is never ever mentioned and was not present. Perhaps she was not at all, but it could be donated or destroyed. Or maybe it just is not good stead Rozanova and was not written at all. But if it existed or implied, assume that it could be Elena Guro - "couple" Matyushina.
Attempt to identify all card characters are not rejecting the existence of other versions. Options and other development of this game with coloring and dressing, infinite futuristic theater and artistic masquerade.
