In the life of Natalia Goncharova
The whole lifeDecember 1910 – January 1911
First Jack of Diamonds exhibition
The first show of the Jack of Diamonds — Moscow's first radical independent exhibiting group, named by Larionov — included Goncharova's Primitivist and Cubist paintings.
1911
Develops Rayonism with Larionov
Goncharova and Larionov developed Rayonism and painted many works in the style (elsewhere Rayonism is dated 1912–1914).
March – April 1912
The Donkey's Tail: over fifty paintings
More than fifty of her paintings hung at the first Donkey's Tail exhibition, which Larionov organised as a break with European influence; the censor confiscated “The Evangelists” as blasphemous.
1914
Designs “The Golden Cockerel” for Diaghilev
On Alexandre Benois's recommendation Diaghilev invited Goncharova to design the opera-ballet “The Golden Cockerel”; after its first performances in Paris and London succeeded, their collaboration continued.
June 1915
Leaves Russia for the Ballets Russes
Diaghilev invited Goncharova and Larionov to work permanently for his Ballets Russes, and they left Russia, settling first in Switzerland. She felt the parting from her homeland keenly, as she wrote to the poet Sergei Bobrov.
