Put here with some caution, yet, after all, a well-known derogatory epithet " sad shit" , it is applicable to the vast number of Burliuks placed in this section, this thing does not correspond well !
Well , if that, I fear for the reputation has nothing - becoming the proud owner of " sows ," I understand your level of painting in this forum fully demonstrated !

OlegTsi, well, here's a background and base!
(Just do not be lazy to look through the theme)

[AlexSpb]

Well, excuse me, honestly had studies the last page 20 branches, obviously, had not enough ...
But while lecturing the picture for some associations emerged in the memory of forgotten history, unwittingly acted as an accomplice of manufacturers of counterfeit Burliuks.
In America, about 15 years ago, anyway, for sure - until the last crisis, visited a gallery owners, the typical "Brighton facial features" of our former. In private conversation he had, I remember naively complained: "Customers shit money, require Burliuks! Already attract third artist and may not depict. Who you want - paint, and a simple accident Burliuk can not! What is the secret, I do not understand what a mystic ... something! " Well, would not, as I understand it, a decent man to soil his good name in vain, high quality requirements of products was presenting, not the fact that today! Already, when the tea sat down, I remembered, without any ulterior motive, on Burliuk anecdote known, now I can not remember a descent, from whose memoirs. On why many graphic works of the artist is present as it can be said of the second signature, Lady Godiva, almost with a stroke drawn in the classic nude, riding a horse. Let me remind you, if someone does not know: When a naked Lady Godiva made his way to the famous horse from one city gate to the other, all the inhabitants were strictly ordered to stay behind closed shutters, and do not poke nose into the street. Now when all but one of the inveterate erotomaniac, who clung to the eye hole in the shutters done, prepared to watch a pretty sight. That something is the eye and he was said to have been struck by the avenging lightning, so anything and not having time to see. So, my eye Burliuk, according to unconfirmed reports, lost in a similar way, peeping hole wall as a teenager in women's bath. Through this hole smart Ruthenian woman allegedly poked him in the eye knitting needle (and where, I ask, in the bath spokes?).
I told it, and suddenly I see - my companion stood in stupefaction, thunderstruck: "So it was a one-eyed!? What did not you say?!" And ran, full of joy, artists and performers with one eye shut a black band. Humane was a man who did not act on the example of Brezhnev, in an old Soviet joke Marshal Grechko vybivshego eye to elevate him to the level of generalship Kutuzov and Nelson ...

So, your eye Burliuk, according to unconfirmed reports, lost in a similar way, peeping hole wall as a teenager in women's baths.

Burliuk lost his eye during a child's game, which grew into a fight, and with his brother.

[AlexSpb]

Now it is almost certain - Benedikt Livshits written about women's bath . No books at hand to check , but in any case , certainly not invented by me this. I think that the version of " fight with my brother ," also can not be absolutely reliable facts , may well be the "official family legend."

It is known that the brother of his eye knocked out.
What brother - I do not remember.

We must look.

[AlexSpb]

No not insist on anything, but, on the other hand, someone nice to be recognized that the women's bathhouse peeping? A Lifshitz-memoirist (though not to such an extent as Mariengoff), indeed many are accused of "inaccuracies", but for me personally, nor that of any other book of its charm from this lose.

As for Nicholas - suddenly, a demure-looking ... Rather, judging by the pics, the dark husky Vladimir might think ...

Here, too, has found at least something:

Not ceases, perhaps, art critic to admit their passions, but Svetlana Ignatenko, Deputy Director of the Art Museum. Nesterov for scientific work, do with myself can not. She loves David Burliuk.

............................

Get into the army could not Burliuk: as a child he lost an eye, and it is - another mystery around its name. According to one version of it happened during a children's game, according to another, little David peering through the keyhole for a lady of great beauty. That was, of course, is not completely dressed, and noticing that her peep, I found nothing better than to poke a pin into the keyhole (remember what pins were women in those days?). The latest version convinces me more. It also shows one of the contradictions of nature Burliuk. On the one hand, we know of him as a very well-mannered, obedient, intelligent boy, with another - known for his passionate interest in life, his ineradicable curiosity.
