Life

Larionov studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture , where he met Natalija Goncharova in 1900 . In 1906 he traveled to Paris for the first time. Influenced by the art movements of Western European art, he founded the artists' association Karo-Bube together with Natalija Gontscharowa in 1910 , from which they separated again in early 1912 to found the Donkey Tail Association . At the first exhibition Zielscheibe they showed Rayonist pictures for the first time . Together with Robert Genin , Alexej Jawlensky , Wassily Kandinsky and Marianne von Werefkin , he took part in the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914 .

In 1914 Sergei Djagilew engaged Larionov and Goncharova as costume and stage designers for the Ballets Russes . Dyagilev expected freshness and spontaneity from this collaboration. Larionow created vulgar and sophisticated costumes at the same time for Soleil de Nuit (1915), Histoires Naturelles (1915, not produced), Chout (1921) and Le Renard (1922).

Larionov was drafted in 1914 and fought at the front until he was demobilized in 1915 after being seriously injured.

In 1915, Larionov and Goncharova left Russia and from 1918 lived in their Paris apartment on rue de Seine at the corner of rue Jacques Callot .

Mikhail Larionov had a younger brother, Ivan Larionow (1884–1920), who was also an avant-garde painter.
