LOT NOTES
This painting exemplifies one of Burliuk's most interesting tendencies as a mature artist: his re-imagining of his futurist compositions of the 1910s, for which he was so well known in Russia. Burliuk, ever the humorist, would purposefully date his ew\" futurist compositions with an earlier date."

This painting is accompanied by a photo of the painting with the previous owner Mr. Kaye and former Secretary of State Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Mr. Kaye was founder of Walter Kaye Associates, a large insurance brokerage firm, and Emeritus Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for New York South.
