Catalogue Note
Cabaret was one of the twelve original erotic drawings Grigoriev executed for the Russische Erotik series. A limited edition of 300 lithographic sets of Russische Erotik was printed in 1921 in Berlin. Their erotic appeal was such that most of the sets were destroyed in the book burning campaigns of the 1930s.
