translation of picture text
I think the text is incorrectly translated. From my knowledge of German, that 'was' isn't English past 'to be' but rather German 'was' acting as the interrogative pronoun beginning a relative clause. The syntax here agrees with this: That phrase is German would be "was gut beginnt" (what begins good). That would sound better with the rest of the sentence - "all is well that begins well" instead of the awkward translation. I think it's a play on the saying - alls well that ends well, since after ending, it's not well anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.198.73 (talk) 10:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Confused
I'm not sure why a Lissitzky painting is included in an article about a (mainly) literary movement, especially when he isn't otherwise mentioned in the article itself. I understand Lissitzky to be representative of Constructivism (art) which, until now, I thought was synonymous with "Russian Futurism". I didn't know about the literary movement, but might have assumed it to also be part of Constructivism. I've also left related comments at Talk:Futurism (art) (my impression is that the Russian and Italian movements had little, if any, direct and/or ongoing involvement with eachother). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It's a poster he designed for a production of the opera "Victory over the Sun." This work was seen as a culmination of Russian Futurism as a movement and was a collaboration between Mikhail Matyushin (the composer), Aleksei Kruchenykh (the librettist), Velimir Khlebnikov (who wrote the prologue), and Kazimir Malevich (the set-designer). This is stated in the poster's caption and in the article. In response to your other comments, Russian Futurism was mainly a literary movement, but was closely related to Constructivism, Cubo-Futurism, and OBERIU, among other movements of the early twentieth century. -- kmblacksquare

Confusion
I can't think of a good reason why 'A Slap in the Face of Public Taste' should redirect here. It seems notable enough for its own article. Any opinions? Heresybythought (talk) 01:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Burliuk the painter
I think it is incorrect to suggest that David Burliuk "dabbled" in painting. He was classically trained and painted some 20,000 paintings in his life. He is credited with introducing modern western art to Japan between 1920 and 1921. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilberdr (talk • contribs) 13:25, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Missing Music Section
Overall the article seems to represent some narrow, particular view of the matter. It's completely out of line with how the term is used typically; tbh the whole article needs serious attention.

Especially, it's missing the very important school of Russian Futurist composers, which refers to a general sound associated with Scriabin, rather than some political manifesto.
