Dear Anichka, you must no doubt be angry that I’ve not written you for so long, but I was purposely waiting for my fate to be decided. Now it has been. See more

Diaghilev left with the troupe to Spain - and there he did not immediately succeed, as he expected, with the money. For me and Natalia Sergeevna there was a delay.

Mikhail Lavrionov. "Blue Rayonism". 1915

It is almost like a mirage appearing in the scorched air of the desert, painting exotic cities, lakes and oases in the sky: Rayonism blurs those lines which exist between the painted canvas and nature.

Kikimora's сostume design by Mikhail Larionov for the ballet "Russian fairy tales". 1915

How precious to me is every scrap of news I receive from Moscow. You start to understand the Chinese, who are said to sew a handful of earth into the soles of their shoes upon leaving home so as always to walk upon native soil. We’re doing a great deal of work at the moment. Mikhail Fedorovich’s ballet will soon be arriving here in Rome before transferring to Paris, Spain and South America. It’s a series of Russian pieces, so each act is a separate ballet – there’s no common storyline connecting them, and they develop completely independently from one another.

Natalia Goncharova with Serge Diaghilev

enters into a contract

Italy, Roma, Palazzo Teodolli, Parliament Street, 9

30.01.17

We agreed to produce for S.P. Diaghilev scenery for 27 acts- a curtain counts as one act. We will get 80,000 francs for this work. In every city, S.P. Diagilev will provide us with design studios for writing sets, all the required materials such as canvas, paints, brushes and everything needed for this job. During this period of work, Larionov and Goncharova require two months holiday a year.
