Beautiful David Davidovich Burliuk oil canvas, 33 x 27 inches. Provenance: private owner.
Biography: 1882 - 1967. David Davidovich Burliuk was born into a wealthy Ukrainian family and received art training in Odessa, Munich, Paris and Moscow. Eventually expelled from the Moscow School of Painting for embracing Futurism, he is now considered one of Russia’s most important Avant-Garde artists.His early influences were Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism and ancient Scythian design elements, all with an emphasis on boldness of color. After the Revolution of 1917, he immigrated to the United States in 1922. The change in countries also resulted in a change in his artistic style.Burliuk began to focus on landscapes painted in what he termed “Radio Style,” blending symbolism, neo-primitivism and expressionism with his love of color, strong texture and spontaneity. Many of these works focus on people living a simple existence in an almost pre-industrial world, achieving a soft quietness despite his use of impasto and vivid color.Active in Florida both before and after World War II, Burliuk worked with the Maitland Art Center, founded by fellow artist Jules Andre Smith.
