The State Russian Museum David Burliuk
David Burliuk (1882–1967) was one of the most outstanding figures of Russian artistic culture of the early twentieth century, "the father of Russian Futurism."
Burliuk was the initiator and participant of a wide variety of art events, organizations, and exhibitions. He took an active part in the Futurists’ performances, being both a theorist, a poet, an artist, and a critic. He worked a lot in Russia, but much of his legacy is scattered across several countries. After leaving Russia in 1920, David Burliuk spent two years in Japan, where he created a series of futuristic works.
In 1922, he moved to America, where he lived until his death in 1967. Over more than forty years spent in the country, he painted a large number of works in different styles, the subject of which was the everyday life of Americans, Russians, and Ukrainians. Moreover, he was actively engaged in publishing.

For the Glory of Russia. Entrepreneurs and Patrons in Russia in the 18th – Early 20th Centuries
6 June—5 August 2024
Merchants, the “third estate”, at that time, were the basis of Russia’s economic power. The Stroganovs, the Demidovs and other entrepreneurs sometimes established entire “empires” with their own settlements, roads and internal regulations. The richest merchants became nobles and patrons of the arts. The exhibition is unique, both in the themes it explores and in the works it presents.
