Isn't Pobeda nad solntsem Malevich (with Kruchyonykh and Matyushin)? But point taken entirely.

Malevich was a childhood and teenage friend of Nikolay Roslavets in the Kursk province. I think they both came from Konotop, famous for its sausages (apparently). And then there is also quite a bit of correspondence between them later on, when both in Moscow (1915+), and then when they both returned to Ukraine in the early 1920s. It makes quite good reading. They discuss quite a few ideas and at one point I tried to draw parallels when I did some work on this, but of course this is tendentious and rather difficult to do with any usefulness.

I think Malevich may well have done the scenery for the opera,  but for some reason El-Lissitsky - probably because he was established as a graphic artist - did the poster for the opera, which is attached above.

Funny, I always think of Berg - Schiele, only because there's a Schiele reproduction on the front of the volume of Wedekind plays with Lulu in it.

Talking of whom (Schiele that is) can I recommend what I thought was a very good little telly programme about Schiele  - and Death and the Maiden in particular  -  which is being repeated this Thursday (10th) on BBC4 at 19.30.

Another one in the same series, this time on Kokoschka, is on tonight, same time same channel, also well worth catching (IMHO etc).   

Thanks for this George.  I saw the Kokoshka one first time round, along with the Freud Couch, and really enjoyed them.  Missed the Death and the Maiden, so will be watching tonight (and missing strina's concert Sad)
