Among the representatives of Russian art wasmany artists who have realized themselves in different spheres of creativity. Not only a remarkable poet, but also a talented musician and mathematician was diplomat AS Griboedov. Fine paintings painted by M. Yu. Lermontov. Painting, music and literature almost equally attracted L. Pasternak. Mayakovsky did not stay aside in this list of genius personalities. He left behind him the brightest trace not only in Russian Soviet poetry, but also in many other areas of our culture.
The Edge of Talent
Who was Mayakovsky - the question is by no means idle. From the pages of the school textbooks we are somewhat sullenly, serious and exacting looking serious man with large, expressive features. The eyes bore piercingly, as if they want to ask: "What did you do for the revolution and the new, Soviet power? What did he sacrifice for the good of the country? "Who was Mayakovsky and what right had he to judge his contemporaries and descendants? The answer is simple. First and foremost, the Poet, who put his enormous talent to the service of revolutionary Russia. A person who determined the development of Russian art for many years to come. An innovator in the field of versification, the theory of literature. A great experimenter of rhymes, rhythms, images. But this is not all from the list of those professions that Mayakovsky was! The caricaturist, whose posters in the ROSTA for three years not only reported on foreign and domestic policy, the situation on the fronts, but also served as an excellent agitation tool. Editor of the revolutionary literary magazine. The film actor, director and screenwriter, playwright, publicist - that was Mayakovsky for his short but extremely bright and rich creative life. Like a comet, he rushed through the sky of Russian art, leaving a shining light behind him.
Mayakovsky the satirist
It is satire - the literary genre in whichthe poet became more realized. Creativity Mayakovsky can be conditionally divided into several periods. But his early works and mature poems combine one thing: complete rejection and caustic ridicule of philistinism, vulgarity, rudeness and lack of spirituality of life in all its manifestations. "Slap in the face of public taste," deliberately shocking images, generalized to the symbols of grotesques, his poems are saturated - from the first, printed in collections of the literary society "Gilei" ("You", "Night"), to the best examples of the Soviet period: the magnificent " "," About rubbish "and many others. And his playwright and poet Mayakovsky also composed plays in bright satirical tones. "Bedbug" and "Bath" - not just literary pictures from the society of that time. They are still relevant today, for the opportunists and moral monsters, alas, have not yet outlived themselves.
Mayakovsky-lyric poet
The loud-spoken poet-crier, Vladimir Mayakovsky,he considered his main task to be improvement, ennobling life, promoting universal happiness, inflating the very "world fire" that would destroy in his flame enslavement of the physical and spiritual slavery, will become the source of the birth of the new psychology of the new man - free, independent, working for the good of himself and his people. But very few people know that Mayakovsky is a thin, piercing lyricist, who created poems that are amazing in touching and tragic intensity. He did not compare the poet's heart with a fragile, defenseless, beautiful butterfly. Suffice it to recall his famous "Lilichka!", So that we are faced with a completely different lyrical hero: tender, vulnerable, loving, devotedly and selflessly. "Tatyana Yakovleva", "About this", "Letter to Comrade Kostrov ..." and many other works on a love topic - a vivid example of how versatile his talent is. What is interesting: in many lyrical texts we clearly trace the notes of Nekrasov's civil poetry. Vladimir Vladimirovich also believed that the intimate, intimate should closely intertwine with the civil, the public. By the way, like Nekrasov, Mayakovsky's personal life was dramatic. He was not among the spoils of fate, women's favorites. Each of his novels was, rather, a tragedy, rather than a coincidence of happy moments. And he left this world, being trapped in the contradictions of love, creativity, ideology. Gordian knot problems "cut" a pistol shot.
Evaluation of creativity
The artistic system of Mayakovsky consists ofa set of elements that often contradict each other, but in his work they make up a unique organic alloy. There is everything: a fantastic extravaganza and ancient tragedy, an epic drama and a mystery of "buff", comedy is intertwined with intense lyricism, and satire side by side with heroic pathos. Poems and poems about the Soviet people, about the difficulties that it overcomes, are full of optimism and firm belief in the victory of the new system. Satire helps to fight the remnants of the past and the ugly grimaces of the present. And only the poet reveals the poet's soul, stretched like a string and piercingly ringing at every touch to it.
