Donkey's Tail

Russian artistic group


Donkey's Tail (Russian: Ослиный хвост, Romanized: Osliniy khvost) was a Russian artistic group created from the most radical members of the Jack of Diamonds group. The group included such painters as: Mikhail Larionov (inventor of the name), Natalia Goncharova, Kazimir Malevich, Marc Chagall, and Aleksandr Shevchenko. The group, according to Gino Severini in his autobiography, was Futurist;[1] it is known that, even if they were not, they were certainly influenced by the Cubo-Futurism movement. The only exhibition of the group took place in Moscow in 1912 (notable for being the start of Malevich's entry into his Cubo-Futurist phase), and in 1913, the group fell apart.
