For instance, opposite page ten, a small man - printed positively - raises his hat to the woman's head - seen in close-up and printed in negative - which dominates the page."

= Rowell/ Wye 97; Lemmens/ Stommels, Russian Book Art 1904-2005, p.53: "[Yevreinov] wrote a series of essays and books in which he promoted his ideas that life and theatre should be as closely linked as possible (...). He wrote two important works about this concept: The theatre as such and this work in three volumes. Part one and three are illustrated by Kulbin, but part two had illustrations by Annenkov (...). If David Burlyuk is regarded as the 'Father of Russian futurism', Kulbin might be seen as the 'Father of Russian avant-garde'. He was an indefatigable propagator of modern art in all its aspects."
