Summary
The story of David Burliuk, now generally regarded as the father of Russian Futurism, is in some ways one of the strangest in the history of the Modern Movement in art. He was immensely influential in the years immediately before the Russian Revolution, at a time when the whole of the Russian cultural world was in ferment. And fairly soon after that, he was almost forgotten in his own country.
Evgenia Petrova, the Deputy Director of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, and one of the people chiefly responsible for the revival of interest in Russian Futurism and the other art movements allied to it, speaks of him as having been "virtually expunged from the history of Russian art" in the years after his emigration. This exhibition is, among other things, an attempt to correct an injustice.
