Hello! I want to ask the experts: what kind of insect was depicted by the father of Russian futurism artist David Burliuk on his ex-libris? Can it be identified? )

Yes. That's why he's a futurist) And yet, who does he look like? A cricket?

A cockroach?

PS
Okay, the devil is with them, with four legs, but still for an ARTIST to portray such a book should be a shame.

The head is somewhat similar to the head of a freckle, but, in general, it really looks like a cockroach.

Thank you to those who unsubscribed! So, by a majority vote, decided that (four-legged) cockroach? )

The main artistic principles of futurism are-speed, movement, energy (this accurately reflects the essence of the cockroach), and ... cockroaches in the head should not be forgotten wink.gif
And by the way, four legs are also the essence of futurism, because drawing four legs is much faster than six))

Thank you for the most interesting comment! Continuing your line of reasoning, we can add that futurism, like a cockroach, is also the ability to survive in extreme conditions, when N-th number of limbs are already torn off... ))
