Biography
David Davidovich Burliuk was a Ukrainian avant-garde artist (Futurist, Neo-Primitivist), book illustrator, publicist, and author associated with Russian Futurism. In the words of his publisher Maria (also Maryussia) Burliuk, David Burliuk was the father of "Soviet Russian Futurism."
David Burliuk was born in Semyrotivka near the village of Riabushky in Ukraine. From 1898 to 1904 he studied at the art schools in Kasan and in Odessa, as well as at the Royal Academy in Munich. His exuberant, extroverted character was recognized by Anton Azhbe, his professor at the Munich Academy.
In 1912 David Burliuk was co-author of the Russian Futurist manifesto A Slap in the Face of Public Taste. In 1913 he was expelled from the Academy. In the same year D. Burliuk founded the publishing venture of the futuristic writer's group Hylaea.
In 1915 David Burliuk published the book with illustrations by Lentulov, and by David and Wladimir Burliuk titled Portrait of Vasily Kamensky.
From 1915 to 1917 he resided in the Urals with frequent trips to Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 1925 Burliuk was a co-founder of the Association of Revolutionary Masters of Ukraine (ARMU) with the members Alexander Bogomazov, Vasiliy Yermilov, Vadym Meller, Alexander Khvostenko-Khvostov, and Palmov Victor.
In 1962 he and his wife travelled to Australia where he held an exhibition at Moreton Galleries, Brisbane. It was his only Australian exhibition. During his stay there David Burliuk painted some sketches and works with Australian views.
