1.What literary trend does the work of V. Mayakovsky belong to?Mayakovsky belonged to futurism, to his most influential group of "kubofu-

tourists”, or the poets of “Gilea” (this, apart from Mayakovsky, included Burliuk, Kruchenykh, Khlebnikov).

2.What is futurism?

Futurism is an avant-garde trend in European and Russian art of the early 20th century, which denied the artistic and moral heritage, preached the destruction of the forms and conventions of art in order to merge it with an accelerated life process. The time of birth of Russian futurism (from lat. futurum - the future) is considered to be 1910, when the first futuristic collection "The Garden of Judges" was published (authors: D. Burliuk, V. Khlebnikov, V. Kamensky, V. Mayakovsky and A. Kruchenykh). In addition to the Gilea group, there were also “ego-futurists” (I. Severyanin, I. Ignatiev, V. Gnedov) and the Centrifuge association (B. Pasternak, N. Aseev, S. Bobrov and others). The first declaration of the Futurists - "A slap in the face of public taste" - was published in 1912.

3.What were the ideas of futurism?

Mayakovsky declared his intention to "become a doer of his own life and a legislator for the lives of others." The Futurists claimed a universal mission: to create a super-art that would be able to transform the world. At the same time, they sought to rationally substantiate creativity, relying on the fundamental sciences - physics, mathematics. Their work went beyond literature and was associated with the avant-garde groups of artists of the 1910s: Jack of Diamonds, Donkey's Tail, and the Union of Youth. Most Futurists combined literature with painting or music. They deliberately shocked the audience, wanting to awaken the desire to change themselves and the world in order to move towards the future.

4.What do you know about the family of V. Mayakovsky?

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky was born on July 7, 1893 in the family of a forester, who lived with his wife Alexandra Alekseevna, son and daughters Olya and Lyuda, in Baghdadi (Georgia). The father died early. The Mayakovskys moved to Moscow. Vladimir Mayakovsky had already graduated from the gymnasium in Kutaisi (where he also studied painting).

5.What education did V. Mayakovsky receive?

After graduating from the gymnasium in Kutaisi and arriving in Moscow, V. Mayakovsky, after several years of participation in the activities of the RSDLP (Bolsheviks) and being in prison for this (11 months in Butyrki), entered the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture: “the only place where they accepted without credibility certificates.

6.Tell us about the beginning of V. Mayakovsky's work.

The first poem "Night" was published in the collection "A Slap in the Face of Public Taste". The poems of 1912-1917 were distinguished by innovation in the field of form, a sense of the catastrophe and "exhaustion" of the old culture and all forms of art, since Mayakovsky's early work developed in line with futurism.

7.To what genre did Mayakovsky gravitate?

Mayakovsky brought a new understanding to the genre of the poem. Although the poem is an epic genre, Mayakovsky has a lyrical beginning in it. He created poems: “A cloud in pants”, “Flute-spine”, “War and peace”, “Man”, “150 LLC LLC”, “Good!”, “I love”, “About it”.

8.What are the motives and themes of V. Mayakovsky's satirical poetry?

In early poetry, the poet protests against the modern way of life he hates. Therefore, the basis of his works is the slogan “Down with!” - “Down with your war!”, “Down with your religion!”, “Down with your art!”, “Down with your love!” He expresses his indignation in verses: “Nate!”, “To you!”, “Me and Napoleon”, speaking out against the war; against the humiliation of a person (“Hymn to the scientist”, “Hymn to the judge”, “My attitude to this”).

In the post-revolutionary period, Mayakovsky's satire was directed against bureaucracy, philistinism, stupidity and vulgarity ("Happy Sessions", "Bureaucrat Factory", "Letter to Molchanov's Beloved, Abandoned by Him", "Office Habits", etc.)

9.Name the plays of Mayakovsky.

These are "Bedbug", "Bath" - satirical comedies.

10.What is Mayakovsky's contribution to art?

Mayakovsky was a multi-talented person - not only a poet, but also an artist. He worked for the day of GROWTH, illustrating political news, painting. He was the author of a number of scripts for silent films, the most famous of them - for the film "The Young Lady and the Hooligan". In this film, V.V. Mayakovsky also starred as an actor.

In domestic literary criticism, there is a real confusion with the concepts of "direction" and "flow". What can be said about with absolute certainty - he was an avant-garde poet, one of the brightest representatives of the poetic and artistic avant-garde (the poet was also an interesting painter, the author of the famous posters for "Windows of GROWTH"). If avant-gardism is considered an artistic direction, then Mayakovsky belonged to such a trend as Russian futurism - in its cubo-futuristic variety.

However, the very name "cubo-futurists", or simply "futurists", Mayakovsky and his group mates (Aleksey Kruchenykh, David Burliuk, Benedikt Livshits and others) were accepted only at the end of 1913, largely due to the fact that they were called so by analogy with the Italian futurists. The members of the group themselves, wishing to avoid such a comparison, preferred to call themselves "Budetlyans". This word, coined by Velimir Khlebnikov, was a tracing-paper from the word "futurists" and meant literally "inhabitants of the future." Also, the Futurists were called the "Gilea" group, from the Greek "forest" - this is how the ancient Greeks called the area inhabited by the legendary Scythians. And the futurists felt themselves to be precisely "Scythians" threatening modern bourgeois civilization.

For the sake of being different from Italian futurists, as well as from other domestic futurist groups (primarily ego-futurists), the prefix “cubo” was coined - a sign of solidarity with European cubist artists, primarily Georges Braque and.

However, futurism existed only until the revolution, after which it broke up into many small avant-garde groups that stole its discoveries and undertakings (komfuts, fuists, form librists, expressionists, nichevoks and others). Mayakovsky himself founded at the end of 1922 another completely avant-garde literary group - Lef (Left Front), as well as a magazine of the same name. But by the end of the 1920s, avant-garde art, primarily due to powerful pressure from the authorities, was gradually ousted from the artistic field of the USSR, and Lef itself turned out to be an unviable association. He survived several crises, dissolution and reorganization in 1929 under a new name - "Ref" ("Revolutionary Front"), and a year later Mayakovsky made a decision that was largely fatal for both "Ref" and personally for himself: and wrote in 1930 application for membership in the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers. The poet expressed his wish: “I believe that all active refs should draw the same conclusion, dictated by all our previous work”. The poet's comrades did not approve and did not support his decision, and in the RAPP itself Mayakovsky did not find new like-minded people, which was one of the reasons for the tragic end of his life.

In the section on the question to which literary movement Mayakovsky belonged, given by the author wit the best answer is that Mayakovsky does not fit into the framework of literary groups, schools, trends and stylistic trends, he is the "poet of the century", his poetry, as Al rightly said. Mikhailov, "congenial to the revolutionary era", great events and dramatic upheavals of the twentieth century. Therefore, the influence of Mayakovsky on all subsequent literature is truly inexhaustible.

You can not imitate him, you can not agree with him in everything, argue, not even accept his worldview, but it is impossible to bypass Mayakovsky. Not a single significant Soviet poet has been formed outside the powerful force field radiated by his poetry, his creative position, his conviction in the greatness of the communist ideal.
Of course, in each specific case, they "interacted" with Mayakovsky and interact in different ways. Each poet evaluates and, accordingly, uses his experience in his own way. This has already been written about more than once, finding in the "Twelve" by A. Blok, in Yesenin's poems of the first years of the revolution, critically rethought motives of the "Thirteenth Apostle" ("Clouds in Pants"). B. Pasternak himself said that in his youth he saw in Mayakovsky "the first poet of the generation" (to which he included himself), but out of fear of completely falling under his influence, he tried to avoid "coincidences" ... About the great role that the poet played in the creative evolution of M Tsvetaeva, was recently written by A. Saakyants (Moscow, 1982, No. 10).
However, it is not uncommon to come across the opinion that there are poets who are absolutely distant to Mayakovsky, so to speak, opposite to him.
