Silver Age rebels. Poetry of Russian futurism

Russian futurists - both poets and artists - went down in history as innovators who made a coup in art. Their work was distinguished by a bright personality, the search for original poetic and artistic methods of expression of reality. Futurists preached the destruction of the forms and conventions of art for merging with the rapid pace of life of the 20th century. Their aspiration to the future, the unusual vision of the world, shocking rhymes and colors now excite the imagination, delight, provoke violent discussions. The book presents the best examples of avant -garde poetry of the beginning of the 20th century - the poetry of Russian futurism, illustrated by the famous works of Russian painting of this period. Poets V. Mayakovsky and V. Khlebnikov, brothers D. and N. Burlyuk, I. Seversyanin and V. Shershenevich, B. Pasternak and N. Aseev, artists K. Malevich, P. Filonov, A. Lentulov, O. Rozanov - O. Rozanov - This is far from a complete list of names of famous and talented creators, with whose works you will meet on these pages.
