The authors came up with the idea for the collection “The Three” in the spring of 1913, while Elena Genrikhovna Guro was still alive. Originally, this book was intended for her works to be placed alongside those of her friends Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksey Kruchyonykh. The collection was published after Guro’s death, with a cover and drawings by Kazimir Severinovich Malevich, and was dedicated to her memory.

Three like-minded people — Mikhail Matyushin (Elena Guro’s husband), Aleksey Kruchyonykh and Kazimir Malevich — became inseparable at that time. They spent the summer of 1913 in the village of Uusikirkko in Finland. There was also a meeting held there, which they called the First All-Russian Congress of Futurists. The congress concluded with the publication of a manifesto, announcing the creation of the opera “Victory Over the Sun” as a result of their joint effort.

In addition, the manifesto condemned the traditional “backwardness” of the Russian language, as well as the “artistic impotence”. This work became a call for the revival of poetry and visual arts. “Victory Over the Sun” premiered a little later, in December of 1913.

Inspired by such intentions, the like-minded friends began experimenting and created a series of joint works. Among others, the poetry collection “The Three”, which was compiled from the poems by Khlebnikov, Kruchyonykh and Guro with illustrations by Malevich, deserves special attention.

From the preface to the book:

#6

The new philosophy, psychology, music and painting, that if taken apart are almost unacceptable for a normally tired modern soul, explain and complement each other so joyfully and hopefully: such revelations will be sweet only for those who have left everything behind. But all these victories are only means. And the goal is that wonderful new world ahead, which will bring each and every thing to life. And if some conquer it — or the roads to it, at least — to others it already seems revealed, they see it and almost live in it. Elena Guro was such a person. <…> Her soul was too gentle to break anything, too great and benign to hold a grudge even against the past, and so transparent that it passed with ease through the most compressed phenomena of the world and the roughest outgrowths of the imposed rules with her quiet candle, bringing great light.
