Crystallization of the picturesque Russian avant-garde began in the winter-spring 1908, when the brothers emerged expo association Burliuks "Wreath - Stefanos", larionovskoe "Golden Fleece" and "Triangle" Kulbin.
Exhibition "Stephanos" (Crown in Greek) was opened on 27 December 1907 to 2 February 1908.
In addition to the many exhibitors at Blue Rose "in this exhibition, attended brothers Burliuks, N. Goncharova, M. Larionov, A. Lentulov, G. Yakulov, V.Baranov-Rossine, L. Survage.
How to describe what it was billed, it is better to bring the press comments:
"Never has a dead, cold and dull Technical did not act so laid bare in Russian painting, as it is now in the works of family Burliuks.
To the family Burliuks adjacent g.Lentulov with his craft painting and g.Shtyurtsvage with impressionist signs.
Near convinced technicians at the exhibition are representatives of the vague manner of colored spots and short lines, the spineless, which is especially typical for Larionov. The essence of this manner is reduced to the search for a light of beauty, and this trait is particularly noticeable, and particularly troublesome in Natalia Goncharova. "(N. Muratov. Exhibition of paintings" Stefanos "., Russian word, January 4, 1908).
Two months after the "Wreath" opened the exhibition "Beauty of the Golden Fleece", organized by the means of N. Ryabushinsky, which was attended by French Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse, Pissarro, Signac, Denis, Roden and our Larionov with Goncharova Fonvizin (then spelled von Wiesen). And the French, and our assessment of the press have earned roughly the same: "less gifted squalor, despair impudence, the terminally ill, ugly daub, daub meaningless" (N. Zenitsyn. "Salon of the Golden Fleece.", The Voice of Moscow, April 19, 1908).

Smirnov

Yesterday, the site received a letter from his son Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov - Sergei Nikolayevich. With his permission I publish here the text and take this opportunity once again to thank Sergei Nikolaevich for the help.

My father, Nikolai Smirnov, a professional artist, a member of the Leningrad Union of Soviet Artists (LOSSH) 1898 1942. He died in Leningrad in January 1942goda. His name is memorialized on a plaque in St. Petersburg Union of Artists of Russia, St. Petersburg, Bolshaya Morskaya Str., 38. Unfortunately, all his works were killed during the siege of Leningrad, with the exception of a few journals in which he describes his meeting with Malevich, Petrov-Vodkin, Savinskaya, Brodsky and other artists, and Ermolaeva, under the leadership of which he worked for several years , Christmas, Yudin were very good friends of his, if not friends. Mary B. Kazan was his second wife, the first - Irina Vsevolodovna Meyerhold.

Hopefully, now you can find information, very scarce,

my father, Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov.

Best regards,

Sergey Smirnov

Some strange topics in the forum reminded me of the bitter words of Alexander Rodchenko: "Soviet painting - it Gerasimov Gerasimov and Gerasimov ..."
By the way, Rodchenko was the first (and probably only, others - just do not have survived or not awarded) of the great representatives of the Russian avant-garde, who was expelled from the Union of Artists.
Very aware that this replica is not enough ... Must write the message. But I'm more interested in creativity Rodchenko during WW II and after, what I call - "Confrontation Rodchenko.
If someone wants to write about the early works of Rodchenko - I will be grateful.

Rodchenko's work in collaboration with Mayakovsky

I give navodochku for unemployed artists :
Choose yourself a poet, too young and unemployed, and more!
What illustration will! "Mezim - indispensable for the stomach!"
"Drink Amstel" foam,
The muzzle will be hefty!

All this and more can be found at the museum VV Mayakovsky at the Lubyanka. By the way, there Nikolay Khardzhiev organized the first exhibition "Forbidden vanguard" under the pretext of illustrations to the works of Mayakovsky or simply to its observances.
The museum has a magnificent collection: the work of the Mayakovsky, Burliuk, E. Guro, Natalia Goncharova, A. Grigoriev, L. Zhegin, V. Kamensky, N. Kulbin G. Klutsis, I. Cluny, Kruchenykh, B . Kandinsky, Larionov, A. Lentulov, El Lissitzky, Kazimir Malevich, Mashkov, P. Miturich, O. Rozanova, A. Rodchenko, V. Stepanova, M. Sinyakova, S. Senkin, V. Tatlin, A. Tyshler, Filonov, V. Chekrygin, V. Shehtel ... Is all listed.
With regard to funds and reservists, the tradition of many of Moscow's museums open their World Day of Museums, or you can agree on individual tours ...
