Lot 100* | BURLIUK, DAVID (1882–1967). Village Street
, signed.
Oil on canvas, 65 by 82.5 cm.
Executed in the 1910s.


Provenance: Acquired by the present owner in Moscow in 1998.

Private collection, Switzerland.



Village Street, offered here for auction, is an excellent and extremely rare example of David Burliuk’s early work. There are very few Burliuks from the 1910s in Russian private collections, and the only museums that have works from this period are the State Tretyakov Gallery and the State Russian Museum.



At that time, the future “father of Russian Futurism” graduated from the Odessa College of Art and was taking part in various exhibitions organised by the Association of South Russian Artists. He also exhibited at both of Vladimir Izdebsky’s “Salons” in 1909–1911, where he first came across the work of contemporary French artists, which impressed him greatly.



Until the mid-1910s, Burliuk spent almost every summer in the company of friends and colleagues in his native village of Chernyanka in the Dnieper estuary (Taurida Governate, near the Crimea), or on the Zolotaya Balka estate of the Svyatopolk-Mirsky family, near Kherson, where his father was the estate manager.



He wrote in his autobiographical essay Fragments from the Memories of a Futurist: “The summer of 1910 proved to be much more radical. I painted neo-impressionist studies of the Dnieper. Mikhail Larionov and then Lentulov came to visit us and worked with us for a while. Larionov painted Mating, Haystack, Rosehip, Window with a Bouquet and Rain — lovely things. Lentulov did studies of peasant women...”



Village Street, painted in broad ornamental brush strokes, ranks among the best of these impressionistic works and has discernible references to radical artistic quest of Burliuk’s friends, the “leftist” artists Lentulov and Larionov.
