onykwk39@gmail.com David Davidovich Burliuk, Ukrainian/Russian (1882 - 1967) David Burliuk was a central figure in the history of the Russian avant-garde movement as an accomplished poet, art critic, and exhibition organizer. "He was one of the world's first hippies, and painted the words 'I Burliuk' on his forehead and stood on street corners reciting poetry." He was born into a privileged class of Russian society. His wife was educated with the Czar's children, and he was well positioned to become an artistic leader. Burliuk studied at the Kazan School of Fine Arts in 1898 and then studied in Odessa, Moscow, Munich, and in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. His early works were fauve-like, "violent in color and heavy with paint" and were exhibited with the Blue Riders in Munich. In Russia, as a breaker of artistic tradition, he was expelled in 1911 from the Moscow Institute. With other futurists, he undertook a public campaign with lectures, journals and films--all focused on the craziness of modern, industrial life. With the advent of World War I, he left Russia and traveled for four years including to Siberia, Japan, and the South Seas. To start all over again, he moved to America in 1922 and settled on Long Island where he continued to paint until his death there in 1967. After his arrival in New York in 1922, he struggled to survive, but he would eventually gain a significant following in American would end up widely exhibiting his paintings up until two years before his death in 1967. The 1965 introductory note for Burliuk's final exhibition, Farewell Exhibition of New Paintings which was held at the ACA Gallery in New York, poignantly summarizes the artist's career: "Through the years, Burliuk has traveled the world over, painting in many countries and returning with the fruits of his labors to give many memorable exhibitions. Today, a Burliuk evokes a glowing and vibrant recollection of his early years, as well as his enduring love of nature. His brilliantly colored canvases are ablaze with vitality and the joy of living." His subjects range from neo-primitive paintings to peasant life in Russia to futurist depictions of South Sea fishermen. Much of his painting in Russia vanished in the Russian Revolution. Throughout his life, Burliuk was innovative, energetic and upbeat. In the United States, he developed his "radio style", a style that involved symbolism, neo-primitivism, and expressionism. "But Burliuk's early work in pre-revolutionary experimental art was his most creative." 大衛·多維奇·伯利亞克，烏克蘭/俄羅斯（1882年至1967年） 戴維·伯克是在俄羅斯的前衛運動的歷史作為一個有成就的詩人，藝術評論家，以及展會主辦方的中心人物。 “他是世界上第一個嬉皮士之一，並塗寫著”我伯利亞克“在他的額頭和站在街角背詩。” 他出生於特權階級的俄羅斯社會。他的妻子與沙皇的子女教育，他能很好地成為藝術領袖。 伯利亞克就讀於美術學院喀山在1898年，然後在敖德薩，莫斯科，慕尼黑研究，並在巴黎的巴黎美術學院。他的早期作品是野獸派狀，“在色彩的暴力和重配漆”，並展出了在慕尼黑的藍騎士。 在俄羅斯，由於藝術傳統的斷路器，他在1911年從莫斯科學院開除。與其他未來學家，他答應與演講，雜誌和電影一個公共活動 - 都集中在現代工業生活的瘋狂。 隨著第一次世界大戰的到來，他離開俄羅斯，前往四年，包括西伯利亞，日本和南海。要從頭再來，他於1922年移居美國，並在長島定居在那裡他繼續在1967年有畫畫，直到去世，他在紐約的到來，1922年後，他掙扎著生存，但他最終還是會獲得顯著在美國之後竟又廣泛展出他的畫作，直到他於1967年。1965年按語伯利亞克的最後展覽，這是在ACA畫廊在紐約舉行新作品的告別展去世前的兩年裡，尖銳地總結了藝術家的職業生涯。 “這些年來，伯利亞克周遊世界各地，畫在許多國家，並與他的勞動成果返回給許多難忘的展覽。今天，伯利亞克喚起一個容光煥發的他早年充滿活力的回憶，以及他的不朽對大自然的熱愛。他的色彩鮮豔的畫布上滿是活力和生活的樂趣“。 他的主題從新原畫到農民生活在俄羅斯的南海漁民的未來學家的描繪。他的大部分在俄羅斯繪畫的消失在俄國革命。縱觀他的一生，是伯利亞克創新，充滿活力和樂觀。在美國，他開發了他的“廣播式”，所涉及的象徵，新原始主義，和表現風格。 “但伯利亞克革命前的實驗藝術在早期的工作是他最有創意的。”
