Mayakovski
1906 After my father died, my family moved to Moscow. 1908 joined the Russian social democratic labor party and became a propagandist of the party. He actively engaged in underground activities, was arrested three times, read a lot of literary works in prison, and tried to write poems. 19 1 1 entered the school of painting and sculpture architecture and met a large number of futuristic poets and painters.
19 12 At the end of the year, he and David Burliuk published the Manifesto of Futurism and the first book of poetry of Russian Futurism, A Slap in the Face of Social Interest. Before the October Revolution, there was a long poem "Clouds in Pants". The protagonist of the first play "Vladimir Mayakovsky" (19 13) was himself, and he starred when it was staged in Petersburg that year, showing a certain performance ability. After the revolution, he wrote "Religious farce", which is the first drama with high ideological and artistic level in the Soviet Union. Then there are the long poems Lenin and Good! (1924), satirical comedy Bug (1928), bathhouse (1929), etc. He is an innovator in drama. It advocates that the stage should be dramatic and hypothetical, and opposes naturalistic life description. He also said that "the stage is not an ordinary mirror, but a magnifying glass". His drama theory had a lasting influence on the later Soviet drama. [ 1]
19 12 At the end of the year, he and David Burliuk published the Manifesto of Futurism and the first book of poetry of Russian Futurism, A Slap in the Face of Social Interest. Mayakovski's two short poems, Night and Morning, have been included in the poetry anthology, and some poems published one after another, such as Wharf (19 12) and Urban Hell (19 13), are all marked with futurism.
Mayakovski
These works abandon traditional realism in art, pursue originality, and emphasize the sound, color and dynamic effect of poetic artistic conception. Their ideological tendency is bourgeois nihilism and anarchism. 19 14 After the outbreak of World War I, under the influence of the revolutionary situation and the Bolshevik Party, Mayakovski wrote many works that exposed and criticized the capitalist system and the imperialist war. In the first "programmatic work"-the long poem Cloud in Pants (19 15), the poet shouted to the bourgeoisie "Down with your love, down with your art, down with your system, down with your religion", which reflected Mayakovski's total denial and uncompromising struggle spirit against capitalism. In the long poem War and the World (19 16), the poet complained about the sufferings and disasters brought by the imperialist war and made a voice of indignation and anti-war.
