The group included such painters as: Mikhail Larionov (inventor of the name), Natalia Gontcharova, Kazimir Malevich, Marc Chagall, and Alexander Shevchenko. The group was influenced by the Cubo-Futurism movement. The only exhibition of the group took place in Moscow in 1912. In 1913, the group fell apart.
